After joining the Vatican’s secretariat of state in 1922, he became one of Pope Pius XII’s closest collaborators, instrumental in the Vatican’s efforts to save Roman Jews from Nazi persecution during World War II. In 1954 he became archbishop of Milan. During the conclave of June 1963, Montini was elected to succeed the popular John XXIII and took the name Paul, seen as an indication that his papacy would be missionary and outward looking. He was the first pope to travel outside Italy, making nine trips, including the Middle East, United States, India, and the Philippines, where in 1970 he survived an assassination attempt. He died unexpectedly while at the papal summer residence near Rome on Aug. 6, 1978.
