Is included in the Breviary. He entered the Roman novitiate in 1560, remaining in Rome three years. He then went to a Jesuit house at Mondovì. While at Mondovì, he came to the attention of Francesco Adorno. The local Jesuit Provincial Superior.
Who sent him to the University of Padua. Bellarmine's systematic study of theology. Began at Padua in 1567 and 1568, where his teachers were adherents of Thomism. In 1569 he was sent to finish it at the University of Leuven. There he was ordained, and obtained a reputation both as a professor and a preacher.
He was the first Jesuit to teach at the university, where the subject of his course was the Summa Theologica. His residence in Leuven lasted seven years.In poor health, in 1576 he made a journey to Italy. Here he remained, commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII.
To lecture on polemical theology. In the new Roman College. Now known as the Pontifical Gregorian University.
Until 1589, Bellarmine was occupied as professor of theology. After the murder in that year of Henry III of France.To negotiate with the Catholic League of France. And chose Bellarmine to accompany him as theologian. He was in the city during its siege by Henry of Navarre. The next pope, Clement VIII. Set great store by him.
He was made rector of the Roman College in 1592, examiner of bishops. In 1598, and cardinal in 1599.
Immediately after his appointment as Cardinal, Pope Clement made him a Cardinal Inquisitor. In which capacity he served as one of the judges at the trial of Giordano Bruno. And concurred in the decision which condemned Bruno to be burned at the stake. In 1602 he was made archbishop of Capua.He had written against pluralism and non-residence of bishops within their dioceses. As bishop he put into effect the reforming decrees of the Council of Trent. He received some votes in the 1605 conclaves.
Which elected Pope Leo XI. And in 1621 when Pope Gregory XV. Was elected, but only in the second conclave of 1605 was he.
In 1616, on the orders of Paul V, Bellarmine summoned Galileo. Notified him of a forthcoming decree. Of the Congregation of the Index. Doctrine of the mobility of the Earth and the immobility of the Sun, and ordered him to abandon it.
Galileo agreed to do so. When Galileo later complained of rumors to the effect that he had been forced to abjure and do penance, Bellarmine wrote out a certificate denying the rumors, stating that Galileo had merely been notified of the decree and informed that, as a consequence of it, the Copernican doctrine could not be "defended or held".Cardinal Bellarmine was himself ambiguous about heliocentrism, personally noting that further research had to be done to confirm or condemn it. For four years, after which he retired to the Jesuit college of St. Andrew in Rome, where he died on 17 September 1621, aged 78. Bellarmine's books bear the stamp of their period; the effort for literary elegance (so-called "maraviglia") had given place to a desire to pile up as much material as possible, to embrace the whole field of human knowledge, and incorporate it into theology. His controversial works provoked many replies, and were studied for some decades after his death.
At Leuven he made extensive studies in the Church Fathers. Which gave him the material for his book De scriptoribus ecclesiasticis (Rome, 1613). It was later revised and enlarged by Sirmond. Bellarmine wrote the preface to the new Sixto-Clementine Vulgate. From his research grew his Disputationes de controversiis christianae fidei also called Disputationes.
This major work was the earliest attempt to systematize the various religious controversies of the time. Bellarmine devoted eleven years to it while at the Roman College. The first volume of the Disputationes treats of the Word of God.

And of the Council of Basel.Denying the pope's authority in secular matters. Bellarmine wrote three rejoinders to the Venetian theologians, and may have warned Sarpi of an impending murderous attack. Bellarmine also became involved in controversy with King James I of England. From a point of principle for English Catholics, this debate drew in figures from much of Western Europe. It raised the profile of both protagonists, King James as a champion of his own restricted Calvinist Protestantism, and Bellarmine for Tridentine Catholicism.
During his retirement, he wrote several short books intended to help ordinary people in their spiritual life: De ascensione mentis in Deum per scalas rerum creatorum opusculum (The Mind's Ascent to God) (1614) which was translated into English as Jacob's Ladder (1638) without acknowledgement by Henry Isaacson.
