San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer, 75, who underwent double cardiac by-pass surgery after suffering a heart attack while vacationing in Southern California in August, has returned to his residence in San Francisco. He isn’t accepting visitors or calls, per doctors’ orders, California Catholic Daily says.
Add: Niederauer had surgery Aug. 28 in Long Beach, where he was vacationing with Cardinal William Levada, the ex-San Francisco archbishop whom Pope Benedict XVI appointed to a top Vatican post in 2005 as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Niederauer and Levada co-own a condo in Long Beach.
