Francesco Marinoni (25 December 1490 – 13 December 1562) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who was a member of the Theatines. He assumed the name Giovanni upon admittance into the order. His cult was confirmed and acted as his formal beatification in 1764 under Pope Clement XIII. His life of heroic virtue was approved and Pope Benedict XVI added the title of Venerable to him despite the fact he was beatified. A miracle - now under investigation - is needed for his canonization. ==Life== Francesco Marinoni was born in Venice on 25 December 1490. He was a diligent student and studied for the priesthood in Padua where he was ordained. Marinoni served as a canon of Saint Mark's Cathedral in Venice. He retired this post to work with Saint Cajetan who had established the Theatines. He became member of that order on 9 December 1528 and assumed the name of "Giovanni". He received his habit from Cardinal Giovanni Pietro Carafa - the future Pope Paul IV. He was the spiritual director of Cardinal Paolo Burali d'Arezzo - future Blessed. In August 1533 he left Venice for Naples at the request of Pope Clement VII and remained there to direct the faithful. He also made an attempt to strengthen the faith and to prevent unorthodox views from taking root. He was appointed as the Superior of the House of San Paolo Maggiore in April 1540 and served as the spiritual director of a Dominican convent. He also served as a spiritual advisor to Saint Andrew Avellino. Avellino made reference to Marinoni as a great saint. Pope Paul IV wanted to bestow upon him the archbishopric of Naples but he refused it. His age and disease undermined him as he continued to work for others in Naples and the cholera epidemic that spread overcame him in 1562 which led to his death on 13 December 1562. 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「Francesco Marinoni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
