Fr Kant born 1916, German Danzig, today Poland Gdansk

This is a lovely story about the world’s oldest priest.

He was born in 1916 in Gdansk, then the German city of Danzig. Same surname as philosopher Immanuel Kant, who was born in Kaliningrad, then the German city of Königsberg, 165 kilometres from Gdansk. Wonder might Fr Kant be a descendant of Immanuel?
