Jim McMahon Struggles with Dementia at 54
Jim McMahon recalls hanging out with former Super Bowl XX Bears teammate Dave Duerson about a month before Duerson committed suicide, shooting himself in the chest Feb. 17, 2011. “He was a lot more quiet than I originally had known him to be,” McMahon said. “But I would have never guessed he was going through that much pain until I started (going through it) myself.” McMahon is 54 and suffers early on-set dementia.
Pope Francis Declares Mafia ‘Excommunicated’
While on a visit to Calabria, the Italy region home to the ‘Ndrangheta criminal organization, Pope Francis said during a mass that “those who follow this evil path, as Mafiosi do, are not in communion with the church. They are excommunicated.” He continued, “The ‘Ndrangheta … is the adoration of evil and contempt for the common good. This evil must be fought off. The church … must constantly work so that good prevails.” Earlier this year the pope met with 1,000 family members of mafia victims.
