Monsignor Ronald Knox - Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford and Protonotary Apostolic to His Holiness Pope Pius XII, Compiled From the Original Sources #223034

How do I come to be writing it? The reader may ask. In 1950 Ronald asked if he might appoint me in his will as his sole literary executor. There was not much more than fifteen years between us; the clergy are notoriously longer lived than the laity; I did not think it likely my services would be needed. But he put my name down and left it there. One of my duties was to appoint his official biographer.
