Pierre de Luxembourg (20 July 1369 – 2 July 1387) was a French Catholic prelate who served as the Bishop of Metz. He was made a cardinal of by an antipope, yet proclaimed "blessed" by the Catholic Church 140 years after his death.[1]
Pierre was descended from nobles who secured his entrance into the priesthood when he started to serve in several places as a canon before he was named as the Bishop of Metz and a pseudocardinal under an antipope. He was noted for his austerities and successes in diocesan reform as well as for his dedication to the faithful but he tried to end the Western Schism that pitted pope against antipope and rulers against rulers.[1] His efforts were in vain and he was soon driven from Metz but moved to southern France where he died as a result of his harsh self-imposed penances.
Both sides in the conflict recognized his deep holiness and his dedication to the people in Metz and elsewhere.[1] After many appeals for him to be beatified, Pope Clement VII beatified him on 9 April 1527.
