GENTILINI, Vincenzo Ottorino. – Count, lawyer, and politician, b. at Filottrano on 13 Oct. 1865, d. at Rome on 2 Aug. 1916. He practiced law and played an important part in the defense of Catholics subjected to trial after the events of 1898.
A most active leader of Catholic Action, he was president of the Roman Catholic Union and of the Royal Committee.
GENTILINI, Giovanni Gentiloni. – Jesuit, controversialist, b. at Vesio di Tremosine (Brescia) on 26 Nov. 1745, d. at Rome on 16 Dec. 1816 while delivering his scriptural lectures at the Gesù. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1765, but was soon overtaken by the suppression of the Order (1773) and remained in the diocese of Brescia, first as parish priest at Portese, then as archpriest and vicar forane at Lonato. After the restoration of the Society (1814), he rejoined his brethren and was made superior at Naples.
He took a very active part in all the religious discussions of his time, defending sound doctrine and refuting errors then current, especially concerning the civic oath (against Fr. G. V. BOLSENA), the sale of ecclesiastical goods confiscated by the Spanish Republic, the value of attrition, and the limits of civil power in matrimonial causes.
