Duka to serve funeral mass for Albright Wednesday evening

The head of the Czech Roman Catholic Church, Cardinal Dominik Duka, will serve a funeral mass for the Prague-born US politician Madeline Albright at St. Vitus Cathedral on Wednesday evening. The former secretary of state died last week at the age of 84.

The cardinal said that Albright was a compatriot and a woman who had helped to deliver a better life in many regions and to incorporate the Czech Republic into the free world.
