Today marks the death of Cardinal Guglielmo Massaia, and the following is taken from the 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia<\/em>: <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Born Lorenzo Massaia in Piedmont<\/a>, he joined the Capuchins at sixteen and took the Guglielmo. After his ordination<\/a>, he achieved renown as a preacher and was appointed confessor to Prince Victor Emmanuel, afterwards King of Italy<\/a>, and Ferdinand, Duke of Genoa<\/a>. The royal family<\/a> of Piedmont<\/a> would have nominated him on several occasions to an episcopal see<\/a>, but he wanted to go tot the missions. In 1846, he was sent to Ethiopia to establish a Vicariate-Apostolic for the Gallas in Abyssinia<\/a>. Massaia, who had received plenary faculties from the pope<\/a>, ordained<\/a> a number of native priests<\/a> for the Coptic Rite; he also obtained the appointment by the Holy See<\/a> of a vicar-apostolic for the Copts<\/a>, and himself consecrated<\/a> St. Justin de Jacobis to this office. This angered the Coptic<\/a> Patriarch<\/a> of Egypt<\/a>, who sent a bishop<\/a> of his own to Ethiopia. As a result of the ensuing political agitation, Massaia was banished from Ethiopia. In 1850 he visited Europe<\/a> to gain a fresh band of missionaries. On his return to Ethiopia, he founded a large number of missions. He also established a school<\/a> at Marseilles<\/a> for the education<\/a> of boys whom he had freed from slavery; besides this he composed a grammar of the Galla language which was published at Marseilles<\/a> in 1867. During his thirty-five years as a missionary he was exiled seven times, but he always returned to his labours with renewed vigour. However, in 1880 he was compelled by ill-health to resign his mission. Pope Leo XIII named him a Cardinal in recognition of his work.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
