Egidio Vagnozzi (26 February 1906 – 26 December 1980) was an Italian Cardinal of the Catholic Church. He served as the second president of the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See from 1968 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1967. ==Biography== Egidio Vagnozzi was born in Rome to Francesco and Pasqua (née Jachetti) Vagnozzi, and studied at the Minor Seminary, Pontifical Roman Seminary, and Pontifical Lateran University (from where he obtained doctorates in philosophy, theology, and canon law). Ordained a priest by Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val on 22 December 1928, Vagnozzi, at age 22, required a dispensation to be ordained, not having yet reached the canonical age. He then finished his studies in 1930. In 1930, he also became a staff member of the Secretariat of State in the Roman Curia, and was raised to the rank of Privy Chamberlain of His Holiness on 1 May 1932. Before becoming counselor of the Portuguese nunciature in 1942, he was a staff member of the apostolic delegation to the United States in 1932. Vagnozzi was counselor of the French nunciature from 1945 to 1947, and became a Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on 23 December 1945. He was an official of the delegation for the establishment of diplomatic relations with India for a year until becoming chargé d'affaires of the Holy See's mission to the Indian government in New Delhi from June to August 1948. On 9 March 1949, Vagnozzi was appointed Nuncio to the Philippines and Titular Archbishop of Myra. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 22 May from Cardinal Adeodato Giovanni Piazza, OCD, with Archbishops Francesco Borgongini Duca and Roberto Ronca serving as co-consecrators. On 9 April 1951 – following the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the Philippines government, he was appointed as first Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, a position he discharged in parallel with his position of Apostolic Delegate.〔(Address by Cardinal Sodano to commemorate 50 years of Vatican-Philippines relations )〕 Vagnozzi was later named Apostolic Delegate to the United States on 16 December 1958, and attended the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965. Pope Paul VI created him Cardinal-Deacon of ''S. Giuseppe in via Trionfale'' in the consistory of 26 June 1967, and President of the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See on 13 January 1968. After ten years' standing as a Cardinal-Deacon, Vagnozzi exercised his right to become a Cardinal-Priest, and his deaconry was elevated ''pro hac vice'' on 5 March 1973. He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the conclaves of August and October 1978, which selected Popes John Paul I and John Paul II respectively. He was also Chamberlain of the College of Cardinals from 30 June 1979 until his death. Vagnozzi died in Rome, at age 74. After a funeral Mass presided by John Paul II in the Lateran Basilica, he was buried in the Campo Verano. His remains were later transferred to his cardinalitial church in March 1983. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Egidio Vagnozzi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
