About José Vives y Tutó

Lived 1854 – 1913 (aged 59). José Vives y Tutó was a Spanish catholic priest.

José de Calasanz, or in Catalan Calassanç , born José Vives y Tutó (or, in Catalan, Josep Vives i Tutó); his given name is written in English as Joseph Calasanz), OFMCap (15 February 1854 – 7 September 1913), was an influential Spanish Roman Catholic theologian, member of the Capuchin friars and from 19 June 1899 also cardinal. To distinguish him from the saint Giuseppe Calasanzio from whom he took his name, he is known as either José de Calasanz Vives y Tutó or Cardinal Calasanz.

In 1908, he became the first Prefect of what is now known as the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, and held the position until his death. He was well known for his traditionalist position.

His health deteriorated in 1913 with peritonitis and he died in September that year at the age of 59.
