This was reported by CREDO.
Later, however, the рierarch's condition deteriorated again: "Cardinal Marian Jaworski, Senior Archbishop of Lviv, is in a serious condition in the hospital. Request for a heartfelt prayer for his Eminence. Let's remember in prayer about the doctors and medical staff who save him," says the Lviv Archdiocese of the RCC.

On October 21, 2008, Benedict XVI accepted the abdication of the government of Lviv Metropolitan Cardinal Marian Jaworski.
Thereafter, the cardinal returned to Poland and settled in Krakow.
