Tommaso De Vio (M / Italy, 1469-1534), scholar
Tommaso De Vio (known as Cardinal Caetano [Cajetan]; 1469-1534) was an Italian scholar. Tommaso De Vio was born in Gaeta [Italy], on February 20, 1469. In 1484 he joined the Dominican Order. He was Professor of Metaphysics and Theology at the Universities of Padua and Pavia. In 1508 he was elected magister generalis of the Dominican Order. Appointed cardinal in 1517, he was sent to Germany, where he unsuccessful sought a reconciliation between Martin Luther and Rome. In spite of his uncompromised defense of the Papacy, his sympathies for some principles of the Reformation and his historical approach to Scripture generated a lot of criticism within the Roman Catholic Church. De Vio died in Rome [Italy] on August 10, 1534 and buried in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
