I am sorry to hear about the passing of Fr. Albert. He sounds like he was a brilliant and Godly man. I wish I would have known him.
In Christ,

I never had the opportunity to meet Fr. Albert in person, but I am well familiar with his writings in bioethics and have been inspired by his scholarly example. His passing is a great loss to academe.

Father Albert was a great friend of my parents and a good friend to me. He always had time to listen with a compassionate heart. He was an outstanding example of all that is good about the priesthood. We were fortunate to know him.

Father Moraczewski was a Dominican in the tradition of St. Albert, the Great and Saint Thomas Aquinas. He has joined their ranks at the the interface of Science, Theology and Ethics.

It is with great sorrow that I read of Fr. Albert S. Moraczewski's passing to eternal glory.

I'm sorry to learn of Father Albert's passing. He was a mentor and friend. His wisdom and sense of humor will always be remembered.

I was a research assistant to Fr. Albert in the early 90s in Houston. I learned a great deal about bioethics from his great wealth of knowledge, balance, spirituality and his God given sense of humor. I once told him that he had forgotten more than most people know in their lifetime. My prayers are with his nieces and nephews and the Dominican Fathers at this time.
