Giacomo Cardinal Biffi

Giacomo Cardinal Biffi (born in Milan on June 13, 1928). Appointed an auxiliary bishop there in 1975, in 1984 the sudden death of Enrico Manfredini of Bologna opened the way for Biffi to become Archbishop there, and he was elevated to Cardinal in the consistory of 1985. He retired from the archdiocese in December 2003, being succeeded by Carlo Caffarra.

In 2000, Cardinal Biffi told a Bologna conference that the Antichrist was alive, a prominent philanthropist promoting the ideas of ecumenism, vegetarianism, and pacifism, although he declined to name an individual. (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/4/17/171946.shtml)
