(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 28 – Cardinal Angelo Sodano, secretary of state emeritus and dean emeritus of the Vatican College of Cardinals, died in Rome at the age of 94.

The disease was added to other pathologies that the famous cardinal had suffered from for some time, who was hospitalized at the Roman Columbus clinic.

He was secretary of state with two popes: appointed in 1991 by John Paul II, Benedict XVI on September 15, 2006 had accepted his resignation from office. On December 21, 2019, Pope Francis had instead accepted the resignation from that of dean of the College of Cardinals. (HANDLE).
