John Paull I and Virgilio Noè.JPGOne the well-known faces in the Vatican curia died earlier today. Virgilio Cardinal Noè, 89, died in Rome.

Noè has been a cardinal since 1991.

He was the Pope's vicar general for Vatican City State, the President of the Fabric of St Peter's Basilica and the Archpriest of St Peter's Basilica.

Cardinal Noè's face was recognizable due to his work as the pontifical Master of Ceremonies, a ministry he held since Pope Paul and one that he had under the Pope John Paul II until 1982.

Cadinal Noè is remembered for his faithful service as a priest and adherence to the Gospel.
