Recalling the late Cardinal Severino Poletto as a"faithful servant" of the Gospel and the Church, Pope Francis expressed his closeness to the local Church in Turin, Italy, in a telegram sent to the city's Archbishop Roberto Repole.He headed the Archdiocese of the Piedmontese capital from 1999 to 2010. He will be buried in the Basilica of the Blessed Virgin of the Consolata, following the funeral on 22 December in the metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Saint John the Baptist.
Later, as Bishop of Fossano, the Pope noted how he was"dedicated especially to families, young people and catechetical work," and finally as Bishop of Asti where he supported"diocesan missions, generously offering his leadership in the reorganization of the Church throughout the territory.
These occasions included the two expositions of the Holy Shroud of Turin during the Jubilee Year 2000 and in 2010, when Benedict XVI came for a visit. Pope John Paul II named Archbishop Poletto a Cardinal in February 2001 during the same consistory that he made Jorge Mario Bergoglio a Cardinal.
