Dean of the College of Cardinals
Vatican City
I have learned the news of the departure of the beloved Cardinal Carlo Furno and desire to express to you and to the entire College of Cardinals my sincere condolences. I recall with thanksgiving, the precious collaboration he offered to the Holy See for many decades, especially as Apostolic Nuncio, Archpriest of the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major and Grand Master of the Equestian Order of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
I raise fervent prayers of supplication that the Lord, through the patroness of the Virgin Mary Salus Populi Romani, may welcome him into the glory of eternal peace and I send you, and all those who share in your sorrow at the death of this distinguished Prelate, my Apostolic blessing.
