He was a saint in northern Italy who did valiant work to protect the Holy Catholic Faith there against the heresies and hatreds of the Protestant Reformation. He refused all ecclesiastical dignities. He devoted his life to the service of the sick and the poor. He founded an Order called the Theatines, named after a town in Italy. He died in southern Italy, in Naples, when he was sixty-seven years old.
