Among Montini's tasks in the U.S., went the Vatican talk, was to reassure the U.S. hierarchy that the recent editorial in L'Osservatore Romano (TIME, May 30), telling Catholics that the church "has the duty and the right" to instruct them on how to vote, did not really apply to the U.S., where Marxism is not an election issue.

He grew up in Mainz, attended the University of Tübingen, where he first began to specialize in biology and physics. But, as he wrote later, "the deeper I went into the study of science, the more I became convinced that there was not the full answer." His parents reluctantly gave him permission to study for the priesthood; he was ordained in 1912, received his doctorate...
