## Bio

Charles Borromeo was made a cardinal in 1560 at twenty-one, then Archbishop of Milan four years later. He founded the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and worked alongside Ignatius of Loyola and Philip Neri as the Catholic Church mounted its response to the Protestant break. His reforms were structural: seminaries to train priests, systems to enforce teaching, the nuts and bolts of institutional correction. He died in 1584 at forty-six and was canonized in 1610.
