Jacopo Sadoleto (July 12, 1477 – October 18, 1547) was Catholic Bishop and Cardinal, loyal to the Catholic Church. ==Life== He was born at Modena in 1477, the son of a noted jurist, he acquired reputation as a neo-Latin poet, his best-known piece being one on the group of Laocoön. In Rome, he obtained the patronage of Cardinal Carafa and adopted the ecclesiastical career. Pope Leo X chose him as his secretary along with Pietro Bembo, and in 1517 made him bishop of Carpentras. A faithful servant of the papacy in many negotiations under successive popes, especially as a peacemaker, his major aim was to win back the Protestants by peaceful persuasion and by putting Catholic doctrine in a conciliatory form. Sadoleto was a diligent bishop, made cardinal in 1536, given the titular church of San Callisto.〔(Cardinal Title S. Callisto ) GCatholic.org〕 In 1539 Cardinal Sadoleto wrote to the people of Geneva, urging them to return to the Catholic faith. John Calvin had been asked to leave Geneva the previous year, and was living in Strasbourg, but the Genevans still asked Calvin to write a response to Sadoleto, which he did.〔Both letters can be found in (''Calvin's Tracts Relating to the Reformation'' ), translated by H. Beveridge, 1844. Digitized by Google Books.〕 Sadolato died in Rome, aged 70 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「Jacopo Sadoleto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
