Life
Diocesan priest; a keen observer of the human soul, he was an educator respectful of each person's time of growth, able to draw out the talents each individual possesses. He was a forerunner and prophetic promoter of ecclesial realities and behaviors that would come to maturity with the Second Vatican Council.
Translated from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
