CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV sent a telegram of condolence to Archbishop Angelo Spina of Ancona-Osimo, Italy, following the death of Cardinal Edoardo Menichelli, who governed the see from 2004 to 2017.

As he expressed condolences and prayed for the late prelate’s soul, Pope Leo described Cardinal Menichelli as a “generous priest” and “dear brother who served the Church and the Holy See with devotion.”
