Pope Francis has expressed spiritual closeness to the family and all those who are mourning the passing of Bishop Luigi Bettazzi, who died on Saturday, 16 July, just months ahead of what would have been his 100th birthday.

In particular, Pope Francis said he remembers him as “a great lover of the Gospel who distinguished himself for his closeness to the poor, becoming a prophetic sign of justice and peace in particular times in the history of the Church, as well as a man of dialogue and a point of reference for numerous representatives of Italian public and political life.”

His focus on active nonviolence, disarmament and human rights fuelled by biblical spirituality was evident in the many books he wrote and, in his pledge, to renounce wealth and privilege and to embrace a lifestyle of evangelical poverty.
