PART V
MISSIONARY IN ROME
Pope Benedict XV summoned
40-year-old Father Angelo Ron-
calli to Rome in 1921. Thirty-six
years later his brother Cardinals
elected him to succeed Pope Pius
XII.
The 36-year round trip to
Rome and back fittingly began
with the education of the future
pope in one of the Church’s
greatest fields—the missions.
Father Roncalli’s job was to
help co-ordinate the activities
of the Congregation for the
Propagation of the Faith. The

problem of co-ordination was
not an easy one. None of the
three subsidiary mission organ
izations which contributed heav
ily to the financial support of
mission work were located in
Rome.
NEW APPROACH
TO MISSIONS
The Society for the Propaga
tion of the Faith had its head
quarters in Lyons, France. That
of the Society of the Holy In
fancy was located in Fribourg,
Switzerland. And the Society of
St. Peter the Apostle for the na
tive clergy was administered
from Paris.
For many years the popes
were content to have these or
ganizations remain outside of
Rome. But after World War I it
became clear that it was not de
sirable in some cases to have one
country closely identified with
the operation of missions in Asia
and Africa. It was seen that with
the rapid developments of mod
ern times a new approach was
needed to meet the demands of
missionary work.
Benedict XV had this in mind
when he called Angelo Roncalli
to Rome to study the possibility
of co-ordinating these various
associations. The Pope knew of
Roncalli’s outstanding organiza
tional abilities and sound spirit
ual, political and intellectual
qualities. . He had known inti
mately Bishop Radini Tedeschi
and through him knew what
kind of a priest and man the
Bishop’s young secretary was.
Three years prior to Roncalli’s
appointment, the Pope had se
lected another close friend of
Bishop Radini Tedeschi, Achille
Ratti, for a crucial task. Ratti
had been sent to Poland as a
papal representative to investi
gate the chance for a new ap
proach toward Russia which was
in throes of revolution.
Benedict XV died a few
months after he called Roncalli
to Rome. The new Pope who
emerged from the conclave was
Achille Ratti, whom Benedict
had made Cardinal less than a
year before.
Pius XI was a scholar, a man
of quick action. He had met Fa
ther Roncalli years before when
as a very young priest the future
Pope John XXIII had embarked
on the ambitious project of writ
ing and editing the pastoral
travels of St. Charles Borromeo
in Roncalli’s native diocese of
Bergamo.
Ratti asked Father Roncalli to
remain in his post at the Propa
gation Congregation. He named
him a Prothonotary Apostolic
which gave him the rank and
title of Monsignor.
Pius XI also appointed Ron
calli a member of the board of
the Society for the Propagation
of the Faith, the governing body
of which was still in France, and
also president of the Italian na
tional branch of the same asso
ciation.
Roncalli’s task was to make
further studies and suggestions
on the co-ordination of all the
subsidiary agencies of the Con
gregation of the Propagation of
the Faith, a study which was
already well-advanced.
Father Roncalli helped pre
pare the new statutes of the
association and acquainted him
self with the thoughts of the
Pope on the missions in general,
on building up the native clergy,
and on the legitimate aspirations
for independence in the spirit
of the universality of the
Church.
ROVING ADVISER
On May 3, 1922, Pope Pius XI
decreed that the headquarters of
the Society be transferred to
Rome and he provided a new
constitution for the society.
From then on it was to be
known as the Pontifical Society
for the Propagation of the Faith.
Father Roncalli remained a
member of the supreme council
and president of the Italian na
tional branch. He also received
an additional delicate task. This
was to help form new national
branches.
Between 1922 and 1924 he
traveled often to various Euro
pean capitals, giving advice and
explaining the new statutes,
helping the national organiza
tions to overcome difficulties.
These trips took him to Paris,
Brussels, Munich, Amsterdam,
Vienna and elsewhere. It was
important that everyone con
cerned should properly under
stand the reasons behind the re
organization and that the trans
fer to Rome did not aim at un
necessary centralization.
Angelo Roncalli was one of
the people whom the Pope knew
well. Pius XI knew his capacity
for work and so he did with Ron
calli what he did with others of
similar stature: he gave him
more work.
In 1924 the Pope announced
that 1925 would be a Holy Year.
Among other projects the Pope
decided to set up a missionary
exhibition, the first of its kind.
He chose Msgr. Roncalli for the
job, naming him to the central
committee of the Holy Year.
The missionary exhibit was so
dear to the heart of the Pope
that he mentioned it to the Car
dinals in a speech as early as
May, 1923. It was to show the
daily work of the missionaries
and the life of their people in
Africa, Australia, Latin Ameri
ca and the Far East.
It needed more than ordinary
organizational talent to contact
all missionary centers, co
ordinate the work and select and
set up the displays, charts, pic
tures.
Msgr. Roncalli worked with a
legion of enthusiastic dedicated
priests. He himself dealt with
the press, Italian and inter
national and with Catholic and
non-Catholic scholars.
The exhibition was, in addi
tion to its religious interest, of
great importance to ethnologists
and anthropologists. Out of it
grew the present Ethnological
Missionary Museum housed in
the Lateran Palace, considered
one of the best visual exhibits
of peoples’ ways of life gathered
in one place.
The Pope was satisfied with
the exhibition and he praised
the experts, the scholars, the
missionaries and, of course, Ron
calli.
A TEACHER AGAIN
Besides his organizational
work, his traveling and his other
duties, Msgr. Roncalli went back
to teaching. Beginning in 1923
he became a professor of Patris
tics (the Fathers of the Church)
at the Roman Seminary where
he had been a student 20 years
earlier.
He had taught a similar course
at the Seminary in Bergamo. It
required him to keep constantly
in mind the first 12 centuries of
Christianity, especially the first
six centuries when the unity of
the Church both east and west
was unbroken.
This professorship was of
great value to him in his later
assignments. His knowledge of
the works of the Fathers of the
Church was to be bound up with
his assignments in Bulgaria,
Turkey and Greece in his con
tacts with the Orthodox and the
non-Latin Rite Catholics of those
nations.
It also gave him the chance
to formulate definite views on
the question of reunion with the
dissident churches of the East.
Thirty years later he was to
announce his plan to convoke
an ecumenical council to explore
the possibilities of union.
Busy as he might be with his
three or four jobs, Msgr. Ron
calli never gave up his priestly
vocation for the care of souls
For Angelo Roncalli the priestly
duty was part of his nature.
Even in Rome, in spite of his
busy days, he always had suf
ficient time to do pastoral work,
