In the German-speaking countries he is mainly seen in his role as an advisor to the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Care in Health Care and as a moral theological advisor to various media. So he said on the occasion of a visit by the council in Germany to care for dementia patients. He defended the refusal of the Curia to grant the Nazi war criminal Erich Priebke a funeral in Rome, as this could be understood as a rehabilitation or trivialization of Priebke's deeds. In the case of the coma patient Eluana Englaro , Cozzoli criticized the diet as a "downright death sentence", which was confirmed by the Italian Constitutional Court.
