His gracious kindness and open friendliness during his visit won for him a place in the hearts of every true American. He traveled from coast to coast heralded by thousands of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Soon to Rome, he was elected Pope. after his triumphant return During his younger days, our Holy Father was one of the most valuable men in the Papal Embassy.
