Long Ccireer in Diplomatic Corps Continued from Page One became Patriarch of Venice when .l)e was five years older than I am, was granted enough time to establish himself as an active pastor and write six books..." A distinguished scholar who speaks flawless French, the Supreme Pontiff rapidly won the respect and affection of the people of Venice. He is always willing to speak or to receive anyone "because I must think," he says, "that whoever calls on me might also be coming to confess his sins." Priest 54 Years Venetian priests, comparing him to his austere predecessor the late Cardinal Adodato Gio vanni Piazza, jokingly call him "the calm after the storm." This new ruler of the Holy Roman, Catholic Church was born Nov. 25, 1881, at Sotto il Monte in the Diocese of Ber gamo. At the age of 11 he began ' his theological studies at the College Cerasola in Rome where he received a laureate in theol ogy in 1904. He was ordained Aug. 10, 1904, in the Church of Santa Maria in Monte Santo by , Bishop CeppetelIi, Vice-regent of tl1e Seminary. From 1905 until 1914 he was private secretary to Bishop Rad in i-Tedeschi of Bergamo. In ad· dition he was professor of church history, apologetics, and later patrology at his alma mater, the Bergamo seminary. During World War I, he was a first sergeant with the Medical Department and after a year he became chaplain at military hospitals. In addition he helped to provide spiritual comforts to the Civil Defense Corps. After the war he organized the first "Student's House" in Italy at Bergamo. This institu tion provided free assistance to the children of the middle class attending public schools. He also was instrumental in the establishment of the first school of religion at the Ber gamo Teacher's Colleg~, of the cultural conferences in the Uni versity of Bergamo, and of the foundation of the first circle of, young women in the city and diocese. In 1920, he gave a main ad dress at the Eucharistic Con gress at Bergamo, speaking on "The Eucharist and the Ma donna". The following year he was called to the Sacred Congrega tion for Propagation of the faith, . where he was president of the headquarter's council. He
centralized the regional centers of the Congregation. A new Constitution of the National Council of the Congregation was another of his accomplishments
while there. During this time he did considerable traveling, visit- ' ing important centers of the congregation in Italy, France, Belgium, and Holland. He was named Apostolic Vis itor to Bulgaria in 1925. On March 19 of that year he was consecrated Archbishop of Are opolis. He continued as Apostolic Visitor to Bulgaria until 1930 when he was named Apostolic Delegate to that country. Nuncio to France In 1935 the new Pope was transferred to the Archbishopric of Mesembria and was 'named Apostolic Delegate to Turkey and Greece. He was also ap pointed Apostolic Administrator of the Latin VicAriate Apostolic .of Constantinople. He remained there during the years of World War II. Near the end of World War II, in December 1944, the then Archbishop was na'med Papal Nuncio to France. During the immediate post-war yea r s , Archbishop Roncalli's abilities as a diplomat won him the re spect of the most diverse politi cal parties and the nation as a whole. After he was named a Cardinal, he received his red biretta from French President Vincent Auriol, continuing a tradition of four centuries. His writings include two his torical studies about the Ber gamo Seminary--one on its es tablishment, and the second on the Apostolic Visitation by St. Charles Borromeo. He has also written monographs on Cesare Cardinal Baronio and Bishop Radini-Tedeschi. His titular church is St. Prisca's.
