About Giuseppe Mori

Lived 1850 – 1934 (aged 84). Giuseppe Mori was an Italian catholic priest.

Giuseppe Mori (24 January 1850 — 30 September 1934) was an Italian cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Council from 1916 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1922.

His motto was "Ave crux spes unica" ("Hail the cross, our only hope"). Mori chose to be elevated to a cardinal-priest (retaining the same titular church) after ten years' standing as a cardinal-deacon on 13 March 1933. He also served as a judge of the Apostolic Signatura and sat on the committee appointed to rule the Church during the sede vacante.

Mori died from heart disease in his native Loro Piceno, at age 84. He was buried in the chapel of the Loro Piceno cemetery, and his remains were later transferred to his family's tomb.
