Angelo Paoli, O.Carm (1 September 1642 – 20 January 1720) – born Francesco – was an Italian Catholic priest and a professed member from the Carmelites.[1][2] Paoli became known as the "father of the poor" due to his strong charitable outreach, for which he received praise from a number of cardinals and other prelates while living in Rome. This extended to his friend Cardinal Giuseppe Maria Tomasi and to Popes Innocent XII and Clement XI, who both offered him the cardinalate, which he refused.[3][4]
Paoli's beatification was celebrated on 25 April 2010 in the Basilica di San Giovanni Laterano, with Archbishop Angelo Amato presiding on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI.[5]
