A change in one of the four small, active Roman-rite
lines (November 13, 2016)
The von Bodman line suffered a loss on November 13, 2016,
with the death of Bishop Aloysius Ferdinandus Zichem, C.Ss.R., Bishop emeritus
of Paramaribo, Suriname. May he rest in peace.
There are now nine living bishops in the von Bodman
line. The three other small lines remain
unchanged. The de Bovet line has nine
living members, the Ravizza line is the smallest with four living members, and
the d’Estouteville line is the largest with twenty two living members.
The lists of these bishops can be found in the appropriate
lineages in the column to the right.
