The Death of Cardinal Ruini: Honoring a Pillar of the Conciliar Revolution
VaticanNews portal reports on June 17, 2026, that “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has sent a telegram of condolences upon the death of Cardinal Camillo Ruini, Vicar General Emeritus of the Diocese of Rome and former president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, who died on June 16, 2026, at the age of 95. The telegram praises Ruini as an “experienced and wise brother, characterized by deep faith, keen intelligence, and far-sighted vision, who served the Gospel and the Church with discretion and self-sacrifice,” recalling “his fruitful work for the Italian Bishops’ conference” and “productive dialogue with the world of culture.” The funeral is scheduled for June 18 at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter’s Basilica. This obituary for one of the most influential architects of the post-conciliar devastation in Italy demands a rigorous examination of his legacy in light of immutable Catholic doctrine.
