  Philip Neri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philip was sent to his father's childless brother, Romolo, a merchant at San Germane, a Neapolitan town near the base of Monte Cassino, to assist him in his business, and with the hope that he might inherit his possessions.
Neri saw that the pope's attitude was more than likely to drive Henry to a relapse, and probably to rekindle the civil war in France, and directed Baronius, then the pope's confessor, to refuse him absolution, and to resign his office of confessor, unless he would withdraw the anathema.
Neri was beatified by Paul V in 1600, and canonized by Gregory XV in 1622.
