His evidence was warning to Roman Catholics that Pope Pius XI was a man, no god. They must not, as the ignorant among them are prone to do in their mystic exaltations during Holy Week, imagine Achille Ambrogio Damiano Ratti other than a onetime boy in Milan, onetime Papal Nuncio to Poland, onetime cardinal, now the 260th successor to St. Peter as head of their Church.
