Tommaso Badia also Thomas de Abbatis de Mutina OP (born December 10, 1483 in Modena , † September 6, 1547 in Rome ) was an Italian Dominican and cardinal of the Catholic Church . He was one of the most learned Dominicans of his time and involved in the decision of Pope Paul III. to recognize the Jesuits .

Live and act

Badia came from the noble family Dall'Abbazia. He entered the Dominican convent of Modena at a young age and moved to Bologna around 1520 . He completed his studies first in Ferrara and then in Venice .

As the successor to Silvester Mazzolini († 1523) he became Master of the Holy Palace ( Magister sancti Palatii ) and as such court preacher of the Pope and the chief responsible for the censorship. In this capacity he censored a. a. in 1535 the first edition of Sadoleto's Commentary on the Letter to the Romans , the following year the Problemata by Francesco Zorzi .

In 1537 he was involved as an advisor to Cardinal Gasparo Contarini in the work of a papal reform commission, which, under the leadership of Contarinis , prepared the Consilium de emendanda ecclesia , an expert opinion with reform proposals to remedy grievances in the Roman Church. Badia approved the Jesuits' Summa Instituti in 1539 . When Ignatius of Loyola was in Rome for the papal recognition of the order of the Jesuits that he had brought into being and, with Contarini's support, presented the draft of a statute for the order, Badia was involved in the examination of the document on the papal mandate in 1539, which was assessed positively and subsequently was incorporated into the papal bull Regimini militantis ecclesiae (September 27, 1540) for the recognition of the order. In the religious discussions in Worms in 1540 and at the Regensburg Reichstag in 1541, Badia was involved as a disputant.

Pope Paul III Badia announced on May 31, 1542 that he should be elevated to cardinal and that he would immediately take up his residence in Rome. On June 2, 1542 he was by Paul III. with the titular church of San Silvestro in Capite appointed cardinal priest , he rejected the simultaneous appointment as Bishop of Urbino . He worked in the area of ​​the Council of Trent and published pamphlets against Luther .

At his own request, he was buried next to Cardinal Cajetan after his death .
