Happy 96th Birthday to the Last of the Romans!


Born in Rome on August 1, 1916.

Ordained priest in 1940.

Ordained bishop in 1956.

He has the rare honor of being a living Council Father.

Think how many popes his eyes have seen.

Il cardinale Angelini è uno degli ultimi esponenti dell'antica romanità.

Ad mvltos annos!

  3. The awesome Roman virtue of "gravitas" which is
    sorely lacking among clergy & prelates.
