The venerable Marshal Pietro Badoglio has long been identified as the King's man, rather than a Fascist...
...Pope Pius XI exclaimed: "Whoever strikes at the Catholic Action associations strikes at the Pope, and whoever strikes at the Pope dies."

After the War, he and a certain Mussolini were known as two of the several "Fathers of Fascism." Of the five Secretaries-General which the Party has had (1923-38), Farinacci was the second (1924-26). He was kicked out after getting mixed up in the Cremona bank scandals, resumed editorship in Cremona of his newspaper Il Regime Fascista (The Fascist Regime...
