# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Italy on 4 October 1542, Robert Bellarmine entered the Jesuits and rose through the Church's intellectual ranks as a professor of theology and later rector of the Roman College. He championed the reform decrees of the Council of Trent and in 1602 was made Archbishop of Capua. His name is tied to three trials that still echo: Giordano Bruno, Galileo, and Friar Fulgenzio Manfredi. He was elevated to cardinal and after his death on 17 September 1621, canonized in 1930 and named Doctor of the Church — one of only 27 at the time.
