...Farley should run for President next year, the inevitable whispering about the Pope-in-the-White-House would more likely help than hurt him. This is the outward, political aspect of an inner, social change which Catholicism underwent in the U. S. during the reign of Achille Ratti. The country is still Protestant, but amid the deepening class cleavages of today, the Roman Catholic Church is recognized as a Gibraltar of conservatism, and respect for the constancy of its moral values has revived...

Another monument to the Pope's Alpine enthusiasm: a stone tablet in a little church at Macugnaga, at the foot of Monte Rosa, celebrating the first conquest of its highest...

Previously, Pius XI had received the Primate of Poland, Alexander Cardinal Kakowski, had told him he was proclaiming St. Andre Bobola the Protector of Poland. That land, nominally 75% Catholic, is dear to the Pontiff. Nearly 20 years ago he was its Papal Nuncio Achille Ratti. He and U. S. Minister Hugh Gibson were among the few foreign diplomats who remained in Warsaw when in 1920 the Bolsheviks advanced upon the city.
