Historical background
VATICAN - GREGORY XVI
(2/02/1831-1/06/1846)
Gregory XVI (1765-1846) was elected after 50 days of conclave. He had been prefect of propaganda before his election. Ultra-conservative, he relied on the Austrians to restore order in his states. He fought against anti-clerical movements in Spain and Portugal and promoted the development of the faith in the United States. He protected the Uniates in Russia.
