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- WILLIAMS METAL CRAFTS Ornamental Iron, Residential Commercial, Industrial, Rail ings, Columns, Burglar Guards 2004 Moreland Ave., S.

Official Boy Scout Trading Post 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.

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.

Capitol Si. Washington 2. D. C. STerling 3-2264 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- (Continued on Page 3)
