Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Pope With Diplomats. DESCRIPTION: Giovanni Batista Montini, Pope Paul VI, is the 262nd Pope to occupy the Throne of St Peter. These pictures were taken at his enthronement as Archbishop of Milan in 1954. After serving in the Vatican Secretariat, Montini, who was ordained in 1920, went to Poland in 1923 (his only assignment outside Italy). Rejoining it in 1937, he served in positions of increasing importance until 1954, when he virtually ran the Vatican during Pope Pius’ illness. When Pope John was elected, Montini was the first Cardinal he created. Before Pope John’s fatal illness, Montini was at a Press Party in Milan.
