...Chicago Daily News on Holy Saturday (day before Easter Sunday). 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. They are no Egyptians to deify a pharaoh, no Romans to worship an emperor...

England has only two.** Belgium desires a successor...
Soon afterward, His Holiness married his niece, Louise Ratti, to Marquis Eduardo Persichetti, Secretary to the Nicaraguan legation to the Vatican, onetime Chamberlain of the Cape and Sword under Popes Benedict XV and the present Pius. Marriages officiated by the Pope are very rare. His Holiness presented the bride with four artistic bookcases, each containing 25 volumes, which he had selected himself, pertaining to the duties of a Christian wife and mother. After the nuptials, His Holiness delivered an address, in which he deplored modern laxity in customs and dress. The newly married pair and a few special guests were...
