Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo Missing

Jul. 04 (CWNews.com) - Archbishop Emmanuel Milingo has been missing for two weeks, the Times of Zambia reports, and the Zambian government plans to ask Vatican help in locating the eccentric African prelate.
Archbishop Milingo, who was living quietly in a suburb of Rome, disappeared from his home in June. His current whereabouts are unknown, and a spokesman for the government of his native Zambia told the Times that the government was looking for Vatican help to ensure the welfare of a "respected citizen."
The archbishop's disappearance came shortly after published reports that he would perform at an Italian soul-music festival later in July.
Archbishop Milingo, who was brought to Rome after provoking controversy with his high-profile exorcisms and healing services in Zambia, shocked the Vatican in 2001 when he announced that he had joined the Unification Church, the cult founded by Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Archbishop Milingo subsequently attempted marriage in a mass ceremony in New York.
Soon after that ceremony he returned to Rome, met privately with Pope John Paul II (bio - news), repented of his actions, and was reconciled with the Church. Since that time he has been living quietly in an Italian religious community. The July music festival was to have been his first return to the limelight since his attempted marriage.
