Person
Charles Borromeo
Charles Borromeo was archbishop of Milan from 1564 and a leading figure of the Counter-Reformation. A nephew of Pope Pius IV, he helped bring the Council of Trent to its close and then enforced its decrees in his large diocese through synods, visitations, seminaries and strict discipline of the clergy. He cared for the sick during the plague of 1576–1577 and was canonised in 1610.
