Raffaele Rossi, OCD, born Carlo Rossi, (28 October 1876 – 17 September 1948), was an Italian Discalced Carmelite and cardinal.[1] Rossi served in the Sacred Consistorial Congregation in the Roman Curia from 1930 until his death and as a friar had the religious name "Raffaele of Saint Joseph". Pope Pius XI elevated him into the cardinalate in 1930.[2] His cause of beatification began three decades after his death and he is known as a Servant of God.[1]

Rossi served as an investigator into the stigmata of Pio of Pietrelcina at the behest of Pope Benedict XV and reported back to him with a favourable view on the Capuchin. He viewed the stigmata and spoke with the friar while noting that he was "sincere" and concluding that there was no fraud or deceit on the friar's part.[2][1]
