| Dominated during the
interwar period by a chronically ill but tempestuous Achille Ratti, or
Pius XI, who presided in imperial splendor, the Vatican developed
policies at a snail's pace, framing priorities defined by eternity,
rather than the distractions of the temporal world. He owed his release to the vigorous intervention
of Archbishop Achille Ratti, Apostolic Nuncio in Warsaw and later Pope
Pius XI. As papal envoy to
Warsaw, Achille Ratti, three years before becoming Pope Pius XI,
reported to the Vatican secretary of state that "the most
evil" influence in Poland was the Jews. |
