Raimondo Spiazzi OP (18 January 1918 – 14 October 2002) was an Italian

Mariologist
with over 2,500 publications.

Early Biography

Spiazzi was born in Moneglia, province of Genoa.

Formation

He met

Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum[2] in Rome and completed his doctorate in Sacred Theology there in 1947 with a dissertation entitled Il cristianesimo perfezione dell'uomo.[3]

Career

He taught in Rome at the Angelicum until 1972.

Mariology
.

In 1959, Spiazzi published an article, which costs him banning from Rome and the wrath of Pope John XXIII. Aware of discussions on the continued mandatory priestly celibacy, most prominently by the Cardinal Archbishop Emmanuel Célestin Suhard of Paris, Spiazzi argued in Monitor Ecclesiasticus, that historical evidence for mandatory priestly celibacy was extremely shaky. He pointed out, that even at the Ecumenical Council of Trent, the fathers did not consider clerical celibacy a matter of divine positive law, "nor could they since there were validly ordained married priests in communion with Rome".[5]

Pope John XXIII was not amused. He could not punish the Cardinal of Paris, but Spiazzi had to leave his teaching position and Rome within 24 hours. At the Roman synod on 27 January 1960, the Pontiff affirmed mandatory celibacy as a permanent reminder of the heroic age, in which the Church had to do battle and succeeded to the extent that it won the triple title and emblem of its victory: The Church of Christ, free, chaste Catholic.[6]

Spiazzi was theological advisor to

Mystici corporis, was in the view of Spiazzi, a most important legacy of Pope Pius XII and a manifestation not only of his Christology but also of his Mariology.[7]
After a serious illness, Spiazzi left Rome in 1997. He was Ordinarius member of Pontifical Academy of Mary.

Raimondo Spiazzi died in 2004 at Varazze, province of Savona.[4]
