About this person

Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira, GCC, GCSE, GCIH was a Portuguese cardinal who served as Patriarch of Lisbon from 1929 to 1971. His cardinalate of forty-eight years was the longest since the fifty-eight-year cardinalate of Henry Benedict Stuart, Cardinal-Duke of York which lasted from 1747 to 1805. He took part in three conclaves: in 1939, 1958, and 1963. Although there were seven other cardinals elevated by Pope Pius XI who participated in the 1963 conclave, Cerejeira was the longest-serving living cardinal from the death of Jozef-Ernest van Roey on 6 August 1961 until his own death almost exactly sixteen years later. He was the last living Cardinal appointed by Pius XI.
