Biography

António Marto was born on 5 May 1947 in Chaves, Portugal. He was ordained to the priesthood on 7 November 1971.[1]

He earned a doctorate in theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1978.[1] His doctoral thesis was titled "Esperança cristã e futuro do homem. Doutrina escatológica do Concílio Vaticano II" (Christian Hope and the Future of Man: The Eschatological Doctrine of the Second Vatican Council).[2]

Pope John Paul II appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of Braga on 10 November 2000, assigning him the titular see of Tamata,[3] and he was consecrated a bishop on 11 February 2001.[1] He chose as his episcopal motto "Servidores da vossa alegria" (Servants of your joy).[2] John Paul II later appointed him as the Bishop of Viseu on 22 April 2004.[4]

Pope Benedict XVI named him Bishop of Leiria-Fátima on 22 April 2006.[5]

On 20 May 2018, Pope Francis announced he would make Marto a cardinal on 28 June.[6] At the 28 June consistory, he was assigned the titular church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.[7]
