Details

Pius XI, born Ambrogio Damiano Achille Ratti (Desio, Lombardy, May 31, 1857 - Rome, February 10, 1939), was Pope of the Catholic Church from February 6, 1922 until his death. His entire pontificate was between World War I and World War II. During this period, Pius XI was confronted with the emergence of fascist and communist regimes that were not only considered a threat to world peace, but also severely affected the position of the Church. In several of his 31 encyclicals - 30 of which were published - he would argue against these changes.
