Krikor Bedros XV Aghajanian (classical (アルメニア語:Գրիգոր Պետրոս ԺԵ Աղաճանեան), (フランス語:Grégoire-Pierre XV Agagianian), (イタリア語:Gregorio Pietro XV Agagianian); 18 September 1895 – 16 May 1971) was an Armenian Cardinal of the Catholic Church. He was the head of the Armenian Catholic Church (as Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia) from 1937 to 1962. Aghajanian was Prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith in the Roman Curia from 1958–70. Agagianian was elevated to the cardinalate in 1946 by Pope Pius XII. ==Biography== He was born in Akhaltsikhe (present-day Georgia) and baptized with the baptismal name of ''Gazaros'' (English equivalent: ''Lazarus'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church )〕 Until his election as Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia he was known as Gazaros Agagianian (Ղազարոս Աղաճանեան).〔 Agagianian studied at the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome. He was ordained as a priest on 23 December 1917. He entered the teaching Faculty of the Pontifical Armenian College in Rome in 1921; he was later Rector of the same college from 1932–37.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Armenian Catholic Church )〕 Agagianian was appointed Titular Bishop of ''Comana'' on 11 July 1935, and was consecrated ten days later at the Church of San Nicola da Tolentino, the national parish of Armenian Catholics in Rome.〔 He was elected Patriarch Catholicos of Cilicia of All the Armenians by the Armenian Synod, on 30 November 1937, with the name of Gregory Peter XV. He played a significant role in the Armenian-populated town of Kesab, as he saved the area from Turkish annexation in 1939 by lobbying support from Parisians to ensure it was exempted from the annexation.〔http://www.aztagarabic.com/archives/5884〕 On 18 February 1946 he was elevated to the College of Cardinals by Pope Pius XII with the title of Cardinal-Priest of San Bartolomeo all'Isola.〔 Cardinal Agagianian participated in the papal conclaves of 1958 and 1963. During the papal conclave of 1958 following the death of Pius XII, Agagianian received a large number of votes, eventually approaching the majority needed for election. This was confirmed by the elected pope himself, Pope John XXIII. Cardinal Agaganian was also speculated to be ''papabile'' at the 1963 conclave〔. Accessed 19 October 2013〕 which elected Pope Paul VI and according to the Armenian Catholic Church website, was also rumored to have been actually elected at that conclave but declined to accept.〔 John XXIII appointed Cardinal Agagianian to be a member of the leading body of the Second Vatican Council together with Cardinals Suenens, Döpfner and Lercaro. Agagianian was Pro-Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith from 1958 and full Prefect from 18 July 1960 to 19 October 1970.〔 Grégoire-Pierre Agagianian resigned as Armenian Patriarch on August 25, 1962.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grégoire-Pierre XV (François) Cardinal Agagianian )〕 On February 11, 1965 Pope Paul VI decreed in his motu propio ''Ad Purpuratorum Patrum'' that Eastern Patriarchs who are elevated to the College of Cardinals would be made cardinal bishops, ranked after the suburbicarian cardinal-bishops, but not part of the Roman clergy and would not be assigned any Roman church or deaconry, their patriarchal see instead becoming their cardinalatial see.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ad Purpuratorum Patrum )〕 However, because Cardinal Agagianian had already resigned from the Armenian Catholic patriarchiate, he remained a Cardinal-Priest with title to his titular church San Bartolomeo all'Isola and was not automatically elevated to the order of Cardinal-Bishops. On October 22, 1970, Cardinal Agaganian was elevated to the order of Cardinal-Bishops as Cardinal-Bishop of Albano. He is the most recent patriarch or former patriarch from an Eastern Catholic Church who became Cardinal-Bishop with title to a suburbicarian see—all other Eastern Catholic patriarchs who have been cardinals since 1965 have been made cardinal-bishops but not assigned to any suburbicarian see. 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「Grégoire-Pierre Agagianian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
