Biography
Bausa was born in Florence,Italy, on 23 February 1821. He entered the Order of Preachers, better known as the Dominican Order, and was ordained on 24 March 1845 by Patriarch Paolo Augusto Foscolo, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem.[1]
Bausa was raised to the rank of cardinal by Pope Leo XIII on 23 May 1887, at the age of 66. Three days later, he was appointed Cardinal-Deacon of Santa Maria in Domnica, a basilica church in Rome.[1]
On 17 January 1882, Bausa was appointed Master of the Sacred Palace of the Prefecture of the Holy Apostolic Palaces. He served in that position until 23 May 1887.[2]
Two years later, on 11 February 1889, Bausa was appointed Archbishop of Florence, and three days later, was appointed Cardinal-Priest of Santa Sabina. On 24 March 1889, his consecration as Archbishop of Florence took place, with Pope Leo XIII serving as the principal consecrator. Co-consecrators were Archbishop Francesco di PaolaCassetta, Titular Archbishop of Nicomedia, and Bishop Guglielmo Giosafat GiuseppePifferi, OSA, Titular Bishop of Porphyreon.[1]
His reign was marked by strong opposition to blasphemy and desecration of religious holidays, and strong loyalty to Mary and the Eucharist. He frequently spoke for these causes when visiting parishes and their pastors, as well as by his preaching and his numerous writings.[3]
