Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira
Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira (born November 29, 1888, Lousado, Portugal; died August 2, 1977, Lisbon, Portugal) was a Portuguese cardinal, who served as cardinal-patriarch of Lisbon, from 1929 to 1971. He was the last surviving cardinal elevated by Pope Pius XI, and his cardinalate of almost forty-eight years is the longest since the fifty-year cardinalate of Gioacchino Pecci (later Pope Leo XIII) between December 19, 1853 and July 20, 1903.
