Paolo Dezza, S.J. (13 December 1901 in Parma, Italy – 17 December 1999 in Rome) was a Roman Catholic Jesuit cardinal who led the Pontifical Gregorian University during the pontificate of Pope Pius XII, whom he aided in the preparation of the dogma of the Assumption of Mary. He was confessor to Pope Paul VI and Paul's successor, Pope John Paul I, and was a teacher of Pope John Paul I's successor, Pope John Paul II. In 1981, after Superior General Pedro Arrupe suffered a debilitating stroke, Pope John Paul II appointed Dezza and an assistant, Father (later Archbishop) Giuseppe Pittau, S.J., to head the Jesuit order. In 1991, Dezza was named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II out of gratitude for his services to the Church and for his work as a theologian and university president. Aged seventeen, Dezza entered the Jesuit order on 2 December 1918. He studied both in Madrid, Spain Naples, Italy and Innsbruck, Austria. On 25 March 1928, he was ordained priest. A brilliant scholar, he was named professor of philosophy at the Gregorian University, but had to spent several years in Switzerland because of health complications. In 1935, he was named Provincial for the region Venice and Milan, and in 1941, he was named head of the Gregorian University 〔http://www.kathpedia.com/index.php?title=Paolo_Dezza&redirect=no〕 With Robert Leiber, Augustin Bea, Otto Faller, G. Hentrich and R. G. de Moos he assisted in the preparation of the dogma of the Assumption of Mary. In 1945, he baptized Israel Zolli, the Chief Rabbi of Rome and head of the Jewish community, who, in recognition of the interventions of Pope Pius XII for the Jews in Rome during German occupation, took on the name Eugenio Zolli. Eugenio Zolli worked for the rest of his life in the Gregorian University. Dezza was said to be a leading candidate in the election for a new Jesuit General in 1946. From 1951 on he headed as General Secretary the International Federation of Catholic Universities (FIUC). He was confessor to two popes, Paul VI and John Paul I. He arrived at the Vatican every Friday evening at seven P.M. The only words he ever spoke about his long service to Pope Paul VI during his pontificate were "that this pope is a man of great joy.".〔Hebblethwaite,339〕 After the death of Pope Paul VI, Dezza was more outspoken, saying that "if Paul VI was not a saint, when he was elected Pope, he became one during his pontificate. I was able to witness not only with what energy and dedication he toiled for Christ and the Church but also and above all, how much he suffered for Christ and the Church. I always admired not only his deep inner resignation but also his constant abandonment to divine providence.".〔Hebblethwaite, 600〕 In 1981, the Jesuit Superior General, Pedro Arrupe, suffered a stroke. The Jesuits nominated their Vicar General, the Rev. Vincent O'Keefe, an American, to run the order until a successor could be found. The Pope, in a highly unusual decision intervened and appointed instead Father Dezza, as a special pontifical delegate to serve as the Jesuits' interim leader.〔query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE7D91639F931A15751C1A96F958260〕 The Pope knew Dezza personally as his teacher. As a student in the Belgian College in Rome after the war, he had attended Dezza's lectures at the Pontifical Gregorian University. In 1983, at its 33rd General Congregation, the Jesuits elected Peter Hans Kolvenbach, a Dutch academic, as their new Superior General on the first ballot. The Pope elevated Father Dezza, aged 89, to cardinal in 1991 as Cardinal-Deacon of S.
