With deep pain I share the grief that has struck not only the university, of which he was one of the most illustrious students and later teacher, dean and rector, but also the entire Catholic world, in which his was an outstanding figure, both for his great learning and culture and his faithfulness to the Gospel. In entrusting his soul to the Lord's merciful goodness I unite myself with his family and all those who benefited from his intellectual gifts and his Christian witness.
