==Life==
St. Cajetan was born in October 1480, the son of Gaspar, lord of Thiene, and Mary Porta, persons of the first rank among the nobility of the territory of Vicenza, in Lombardy.〔(Butler, Alban. ''Lives of the Saints'', Vol. VIII, 1866 )〕
His father died when he was two years of age. Quiet and retiring by nature,〔(Lewis, Mark A., "Recovering the Apostolic Way of Life", ''Early Modern Catholicism: Essays in Honour of John W. O'Malley, S.J.'', (John W. O'Malley, Kathleen M. Comerford, Hilmar M. Pabel eds.), University of Toronto Press, 2001, ISBN 9780802084170 )〕 he was predisposed to piety by his mother. Cajetan studied law in Padua, receiving his degree as ''doctor utriusque juris'' (i.e., in civil and canon law) at age 24. In 1506 he worked as a diplomat for Pope Julius II, with whom he helped reconcile the Republic of Venice.〔( Keating, Joseph. "St. Cajetan." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 3. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1908. 15 Apr. 2013 )〕 But he was not ordained a priest until the year 1516.
With the death of Pope Julius II in 1513. Cajetan withdrew from the papal court.〔 Recalled to Vicenza by the death of his mother, he founded in 1522 a hospital for incurables there.〔(Foley O.F.M., Leonard. ''Saint of the Day, Lives, Lessons, and Feast'', (revised by Pat McCloskey O.F.M.), Franciscan Media, ISBN 978-0-86716-887-7 )〕 By 1523 he had established a hospital in Venice, as well. His interests were as much or more devoted to spiritual healing than the physical kind, and he joined a confraternity in Rome called the "Oratory of Divine Love".〔 He intended to form a group that would combine the spirit of monasticism with the exercises of the active ministry.
