Pope's condolences on death of Cardinal Nicora
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has sent a telegramme of
condolence following the death of Italian Cardinal Attilio Nicora on Saturday
evening.
In the telegramme the Pope expressed his gratitude for the
Cardinal’s precious service to the Church and to civil society in Italy,
especially in the legal field, noting his contribution to the revision of the
Lateran Pacts and later his work as President of APSA and AIF.
The Holy Father prayed for the intersession of the Blessed
Virgin Mary and St John Paul II who created him Cardinal and nominated him to
guide the Diocese of Verona.
Having reached the age of 80 Cardinal Nicora was a non-
elector. The College of Cardinals now has 222 members of which 117 are
electors.
