Pope Pius XII elevated him to Cardinal on 18 February 1946. In 1946, he went to the Vatican and in the name of the Argentine government offered that country as a refuge for French war criminals who were in hiding in Rome..

On 15 August 1959 he was appointed Archbishop of Buenos Aires. He was installed there on 25 October. On 14 December of that year he was also appointed head of the Military Ordinariate of Argentina.
