Roman Catholic Archbishop. Langogne born Blaíse Armand Sabadel received his first education in his native commune before entering the Order of the Franciscan Friars Minor Capuchin in the province of Lyon on February 2, 1873. Receiving the religious name of Pie de Lagogne, he professed his vows in 1874 and was ordained priest on May 22, 1875. Earning a doctorate in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University of Rome in 1881, having been appointed secretary to the general procurator of his Order on October 20 of the previous year, he went on to spend a lifetime in Rome, being named qualificatore of the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office on May 30, 1892 and later consultor on June 21, 1900; consultor of the Sacred Congregation of the Index on June 21, 1895; of the Sacred Congregation of the Council on March 31, 1898 and the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Regulars on June 30, 1898. Participating in the reform of the Roman congregations in 1908, he served as spiritual director of the French community in Rome as well as of the Roman aristocracy and was a friend of La Sapinière, the quasi-secret society which denounced presumed modernists to the Holy See under Pope Pius X. Elected archbishop of the titular see of Corinth by the named Pontiff on November 27, 1911, Sabadel received his episcopal consecration at the Sistine Chapel on the following December 17 from the Pope himself. According to "Annuaire Pontifical Catholique" of 1915, Pope Pius X revealed that he had offered the cardinalate to Archbishop Sabadel but the latter opted to decline such an elevation. Consultor of the Pontifical Commission for the Codification of the Code of Canon Law, he published several works, among them "Commento sul Decreto della Sacra Congregazione dei Vescovi e Regolari Quemodmodium" which saw several editions; "Vita del Beato Crispino da Viterbo" that saw three editions and a translation in French of "Diurno quotidiano di Maria", published originally in Latin by fellow Capuchin, Cardinal José de Calasanz Vives y Tutó. Passing away at the Capuchin General Curia in Rome, Sabadel's funeral was celebrated on May 7, 1914, followed by interment in the Torre dei Cappuccini inside the local Campo Verano Cemetery.
