He is the Cardinal Archbishop Emeritus of Bologna. Does anyone have any information on him or his writing? Has he been friendly toward traditionalism and the TLM?
I was intrigued after reading that Biffi was quoted by the London Times in 2000 as stating that the Antichrist is "walking among us". Cardinal Biffi's wikipedia article also said the following:
Quite encouraging.

Quote:Biffi believes ecumenicism promotes the dilution of Catholic doctrine (a view common among conservative Catholics), thereby encouraging acceptance of the Antichrist.
He also holds views that, while conservative, are in agreement with the Catholic teaching on homosexual acts, freemasonry, and feminism.[citation needed] Biffi has stated that an "ideology of homosexuality" threatens to marginalize whoever disagrees with the homosexual agenda, and that Catholics must prepare for persecution by homosexual activists and their allies.
Biffi has stated that the Church should be "exceedingly rich", that clergy and parishioners should be accepting of the Church's wealth, and that Catholics should literally impoverish themselves donating to the church, thereby following Christ's example of poverty.
Cardinal Biffi also once said that the Italian government should favour Catholic immigrants to offset the number of Muslim immigrants to protect Italy's "national identity". He has denounced journalists as "rats".
Quite encouraging.
