CAPISUCCHI, RAIMONDO. - Dominican theologian and cardinal, b. in Rome on 5 Nov. 1616, d. there on 22 Apr. 1691. He entered religious life in the convent of the Minerva in Rome (8 June 1630), where he studied and then taught for several years. Master in theology in 1644, he was a colleague of the master of the Sacred Palace, then secretary of the Congregation of the Index (1650-54), master of the Sacred Palace from 1654 to 1663, when he had to resign because of the envy and intrigues of his adversaries. But ten years later (10 Jan. 1673), amid general approval, Clement X recalled him to that delicate office and also appointed him consultor of various Roman congregations. He was created cardinal on 4 Sept. 1681. He was buried in the family chapel in S. Maria in Portico; his heart is preserved in the basilica of the Minerva.
He left various theological, historical and oratorical works. The following are remembered: Controversiae theologicae selectae scholasticae, morales, dogmaticae, scripturales ad mentens divi Thomae (Rome 1670); Appendices ad easdem controversias theologicae (ibid. 1671); both works were revised and republished in Rome in 1678; Quaestiones theologicae selectae morales et dogmaticae, to which is added a Dissertatio historico-theologica de haereticis praedestinatiensis et illorum erroribus (ibid. 1648).
