Luca Brandolini

Luca Brandolini, CM (born 25 December 1933) is an Italian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who currently serves as Bishop of Sora-Aquino-Pontecorvo.

The Bishop disapproved of Pope Benedict XVI's Summorum Pontificum, saying to La Repubblica, "I can't fight back the tears. This is the saddest moment in my life as a man, priest and bishop...It's a day of mourning, not just for me but for the many people who worked for the Second Vatican Council. A reform for which many people worked, with great sacrifice and only inspired by the desire to renew the Church, has now been cancelled".

Brandolini was later named President of the Italian Episcopal Conference's Commission for Liturgy in May 1993, and Bishop of Sora-Aquino-Pontecorvo on 2 September 1993.

Luca Brandolini was born in Monte Compatri, and entered the Congregation of the Mission, more commonly known as the Lazarists, in October 1953.
