He was created Cardinal Deacon of S. Giovanni Bosco in Via Tuscolana in the consistory of 28 June 1991 by Pope John Paul II. Three days later, he was made Archpriest of the Vatican Basilica, Vicar-General of His Holiness for Vatican City State, and President of the Fabric of St. Peter, offices he would hold until April 2002.[1] Cardinal Noe, like nearly who have served as Cardinal Deacons for ten years, took the option of being elevated to the level of Cardinal-Priest with the titular church of Regina Apostolorum as of 26 February 2002.
He recently attracted attention because he claimed that Paul VI had referred to priests who celebrated the Mass badly as introducing the "smoke of Satan" into the Catholic Church.[2]
