He studied at Bologna, where Michael Ghislieri, afterwards Pope Pius V, was his fellow-student.
Career
Early
Pope Paul III, struck with his talents, made him Bishop of Chioggia (30 January 1544). At the Council of Trent he made a vigorous protest against the words of the decree of the IV Session (8 April 1546), which asserts that the traditions of the Church are to be received with the same reverence and piety as the Scriptures. But he gave assent to the decree, when he saw it confirmed by the assembly.
As Pallavicini remarks, Pope Pius IV assigned to him grave affairs of trust, and he returned to the second and third sessions of the Council of Trent as a full participant in the Council"s debates.
