RAMPOLLA, COUNT MARIANO DEL TINDARO (1843 )

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 877 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RAMPOLLA, COUNT MARIANO DEL TINDARO (1843 ) , Italian cardinal, was born on the 17th of August 1843, at Polizzi, in the Sicilian diocese of
Cefalu
 . Having completed his studies in the Capranica College at Rome, and having taken holy orders, he studied diplomacy at the College of Ecclesiastical Nobles, and in 1875 was appointed councillor to the papal nunciature at Madrid. Two years later he was recalled to Rome and appointed secretary of the Propaganda for Eastern Affairs, and for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs. Consecrated titular archbishop of
Heraclea
  in 1885, he returned to Madrid as nuncio, but was shortly afterwards created cardinal and appointed to the papal secretaryship of state. New to the Sacred College and free from traditional preconceptions, he was admirably fitted to carry out the papal policy under Leo XIII. (see PAPACY). Rightly or wrongly, he was held personally responsible for the rapprochement with France and
Russia
  and the opposition to the
Powers
  of the Triple Alliance; and this attitude had its effect on his career when Leo XIII. died. Rampolla was undoubtedly the favourite among the papabili cardinals; but the
veto
  of Austria was interposed (see
CONCLAVE
 ), and the votes of the Sacred College fell to Cardinal Sarto, who on the 4th of August 1903 became
pope
  as Pius X. Cardinal Rampolla at once resigned his office as secretary of state, being succeeded by Cardinal Merry del Val, and ceased to play any conspicuous
part
  in the Curia.
