Andrea Carlo Ferrari
Andrea Ferrari (13 August 1850 – 2 February 1921) – later adopting the middle name "Carlo" – was an Italian Catholic prelate who served as a cardinal and as the Archbishop of Milan from 1894 until his death. Ferrari was a well-regarded pastor and theologian who led two dioceses before being appointed to the prestigious Milanese archdiocese which he led until his death. But he was later accused of Modernism, which led to a strained relationship with Pope Pius X, who finally reconciled with Ferrari in 1912.
The cause for his canonization opened after his death in 1963, and he was titled as a Servant of God. He was named Venerable in 1975, and Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1987.
