Vatican City, 11 July 2015 (VIS) –
The Holy Father has sent a telegram of condolences to Cardinal Carlo
Caffarra, archbishop of Bologna, Italy, for the death of Cardinal
Giacomo Biffi, archbishop emeritus of the same see, at the age of 87
following a long illness.
The Pope expressed to the relatives of
the deceased his profound participation in their suffering and
recalls with affection the cardinal who served the Gospel with joy
and wisdom, and who loved the Church tenaciously. He remembers with
gratitude the late cardinal's intense work as auxiliary bishop of
Milan and later as archbishop of Bologna, as well as his tireless
service in the human and Christian formation of entire generations
through his teaching and the publication of numerous works. The Holy
Father praises his direct language in the service of the Word of God,
as well as his valued preaching of the Spiritual Exercises, in
particular to the Roman Curia.
