Roncalli, now Pope John XXIII.
For those ten years were lived
in close relation and develop
ment with the intelligent, sensi
tive and aristocratic Bishop of
Bergamo, Count Giacomo Maria
Radini Tedeschi.
SECRETARY TO A LEADER
Often after his election, Pope
John spoke of those years and
of his long departed friend and
guide. In almost every speech
touching on Bergamo, the Pope
paid tribute to the man whom
he served as secretary for ten
years.
Providence ordained that the
noble Radini Tedeschi should
choose as his most intimate as
sistant the 23-year-old peasant
boy from Sotto il Monte. In do
ing so Providence struck hard
at Father Roncalli’s ambition
to be a parish priest. He was to
wait almost 50 years before he
could exercise the ministry as a
pastor of souls.
Don Angelo moved into the
mainstream of national and in
ternational life the day he mov
ed into the Bishop’s house in
Bergamo. The Bishop had been
an official of the Vatican Sec
retariat of State for 15 years.
He had been a quasi “Ambas- •
sador” in Italy, active in all
forms of social progress and
aware of political changes.
Father Roncalli learned the
practical application of Chris
tian principles to national and
world affairs at the Bishop’s
side. His alert mind followed
his superior’; activities and de
cisions. Thus the last touches to
the formaton of the farmer’s
son were applied.
Before entering Bergamo,
Bishop Radini Tedeschi visited
the tomb of St. Charles Borro-

meo, the great figure of the
counter-reformation, at Milan.
A few days later he and his sec
retary traveled to Lourdes to
visit the shrine of Our Lady of
the Immaculate Conception.
Then they traveled on to Ars,
France, to pray at the shrine of
the then Blessed, now St. John
Mary Vianney, the Cure of Ars,
patron of parish priests.
The first months in Bergamo
were spent in a general survey
of the diocese. On December 8,
1905, the Bishop began his pas
toral visits. On Pentecost, 1909,
he completed them, visiting all
352 parishes in his diocese, ac
companied by his secretary.
PARALLELS
Of these years most of the
information available comes
from the biography which Don
Angelo wrote of his superior af
ter Bishop Radini Tedeschi
died. It not only tells about the
Bishop but it points the way of
the future pope.
Among Radini Tedeschi’s first
projects was the restoration of
the crypts of the bishops of
Bergamo. Roncalli was to do the
same thing in Venice when he
became Patriarch of the City of
the Laeoons.
One finds parallel after naral-
lel in the actions , of the Bishop
of Bergamo and in the actions
of the later Venetian Patriarch,
Cardinal .Roncalli. Reading of
the Bishop’s concern for mod
ernizing seminary life, for in
structing his clergy for the in
troduction of cure liturgy, and
for devotion to the saints, it is
as though one were reading
about the concerns and activi
ties of Cardinal Roncalli more
than 40 years later.
Don Angelo traveled a great
deal more than most Italian dio
cese priests of his time. Five
times he accomnanied the Bish
op to Lourdes. With the Bishop,
who was President of the Ital
ian Pilerimares Association,
young Father Roncalli journey
ed to France, Switzerland,
Snain. the Holy Land, Germany
and Austria.

Don Roncalli as he appeared in 1905 when he was secretary to
Bishop Radini Tedeschi.
ology in Rome and very active
in Catholic social activities, cer
tainly influenced his young sec
retary, whose biography reports
in detail the Bishop’s views
and actions on social problems.
One of the Bishop’s decisions
indicates how advanced he was
for the first years of the 20th
century. The factory workers at
Ranica, near Bergamo, in 1909
went on strike to gain the right
to organize unions.
Despite criticism and com
plaints the Bishop sympathized
with the strikers and actively
supported them. After the 50-
day strike ended, Pone Pius X
sent him a letter saying, “We
cannot disapprove what you
have thought prudent to do
since vou were fully acquaint
ed with the place, the persons
involved and the circumstanc
es.”
And it was Radini Tedeschi
who pointed out to Roncalli
that “prudence does not consist
in doing nothing. It means to
act and act well.”
POPULAR TEACHER
The young secretary was not
confined to the chancery of
fice. At the age of 23, he was
also professor of Patristics,
Church History and Anolegetics
at the Bergamo Seminary.

Former students of his say he
was well liked, particularly be
cause his lectures were given
with enthusiasm, conviction and
spiked with colorful anecdotes.
Msgr. Giuseppe Angiolini, a
former student and today Spi
ritual Director of the Bergamo
Seminary recalls that “Don
Roncalli’s class and his conver
sation were always attractive
and exciting and (students)
waited for his appearance with
pleasurable expectation.”
The secretary and his Bishop
shared a devotion to St. Charles
Borromeo. The saint unexpect
edly provided the young priest
with a task that would take him
50 years to complete. It also in
troduced him to another priest
who like Angelo Roncalli was
also to be a pope.
It all began when Don Angelo
happened to find a series of
documents relating to St.
Charles’ pastoral visits to Ber
gamo in the 16th century. The
documents were located in the
archives of the Archbishop of
Milan.
“What a pleasant surprise for
me,” the future pope wrote, “I
found here detailed documents,
most interesting documents,
about the life of the Church in
the Bergamo diocese in its most
characteristic period when ev
eryone was working for the re
newal of religious life.”
It was 1906 and Father Ron
calli was only 26 but, despite
his youth, he decided he would
edit and publish the forgotten
papers. He overlooked the fact
that there were 39 volumes of
parchment and that the project
could take a full-time scholar
a lifetime.
It was natural that he should
consult the prefect of the Am-
brosiana Library in Milan, a
scholarly priest named Achille
Ratti, later Pius XI. The meet
ing between the two was typ
ical of them both.
Roncalli, with the boldness of
youth, yet with natural respect
for the great scholar who was
also older than he, presented
his idea of making a critical
edition of the materal.
Ratti, the wide and experi
enced man, did nothing to kill
Roncalli’s enthusiasm but called
his attention to the vastness of
the project.
Roncalli himself tells how
Msgr. Ratti went through the
parchment volumes and recom
mended that the busy secretary
concentrate on volumes six and
seven which seemed to have the
greatest material relating to
Bergamo.
He suggested that the two
volumes should be the basis for
a general outline of the work.
Photostats of the documents
were made under Ratti’s per
sonal supervision.
Over the years five volumes
were published. The fifth and
final one was issued after he
became Pope. At the time of its
publication, it carried only the
name of the Patriarch of Venice
and not that of the Pope. His
instructions were to say only
that it was “written by the
same Roncalli who wrote the
other four.”
As Roncalli came to know
Msgr. Ratti through his scho
larly interests, so too he came
into contact with other leaders
of the Church, of Italy and of
Europe through his Bishop.
Prior to going to Bergamo,
Radini Tedeschi had resigned
as a director of a Catholic so
cial, economic and political or
ganization called Opera dei
Congressi because certain hot-
