Mario Aurelio Poli

Mario Aurelio Poli, born on November twenty-ninth, nineteen forty-seven, is a distinguished Argentine prelate of the Catholic Church. His journey in ecclesiastical service has seen him rise through various ranks, culminating in his role as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires from two thousand thirteen to two thousand twenty-three.

Before assuming the archbishopric, Poli served as the Bishop of Santa Rosa from two thousand eight to two thousand thirteen. His earlier contributions to the Church included a significant tenure as an auxiliary bishop in Buenos Aires from two thousand two to two thousand eight, where he worked closely with the local community and church leaders.

In recognition of his dedicated service and leadership, Pope Francis, his predecessor in Buenos Aires, elevated him to the rank of cardinal in two thousand fourteen. This honor reflects not only his commitment to the Church but also his influence within the Catholic community in Argentina and beyond.
