“It was with great regret that I learnt of the passing away of Dom Júlio Tavares Rebimbas, Bishop Emeritus of Porto, an outstanding figure of the Portuguese Catholic Church, a prelate who distinguished himself by his great wisdom and as a notable clergyman.
In this hour of mourning for all those who had the privilege of being his friends, I address my heartfelt condolences to the Porto Diocese and all its faithful followers.
