▪ 2003
Brazilian-born Roman Catholic prelate (b. Sept. 16, 1925, São Joao del Rei, Braz.—d. Sept. 8, 2002, Rome, Italy), served in key Vatican posts (1974–87) and as archbishop (1987–98) of São Salvador da Bahia, where he spurred construction of a refuge for children and supported the Landless Workers Movement. He was a close friend of Pope John Paul II, with whom he shared a common background and a conservative view of church theology. At one time Neves was considered the leading Latin American contender for the papacy. He was ordained a priest in 1950 and appointed bishop in the archdiocese of São Paulo in 1967. He was made a cardinal in 1988, and in 1998 he was named prefect of the Congregation of Bishops and president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, posts he held until his health began to fail in 2000.
