MARINI, LEONARDO. - Dominican bishop and theologian, b. on Chios in 1509, d. in Rome on 11 June 1573. Having entered
As a young man he entered the Dominican Order in Genoa, and after completing his studies there he devoted himself to teaching and preaching. In 1550 he was elected bishop of Laodicea and coadjutor of Cardinal Gonzaga in the diocese of Mantua; and in 1552 he was sent by Paul IV to the court of Madrid on diplomatic missions.
Promoted to the bishopric of Lanciano (16 January 1560), he took part in the Council of Trent (1562). His participation in the conciliar proceedings was very active, and to him is owed the definitive drafting of no small number of decrees. Under Pius IV he collaborated in the compilation of the Roman Catechism and in the revision of the liturgical books, and in May 1564 he was sent to the Emperor Ferdinand to settle various questions relating to the application of the conciliar canons. By Pius V he was appointed bishop of Alba and apostolic visitor of 25 dioceses of northern Italy, for the implementation of the Tridentine reform.
