Pietro Benedetti, MSC (19 May 1867 – 7 September 1930) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church who was a leader of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and also worked in the diplomatic service of the Holy See in Mexico, Cuba, and Puerto Rico for several years.
[1] Beginning in 1910 he was a member of a commission on revising catechism instruction in response to Pope Pius X's decree Quam singulari admitting children to the Eucharist.
[2] He was provincial (procurator) of his order when, on 21 December 1914, Pope Benedict XV named him Bishop of Ozieri in Sardinia.
On 10 March 1921, Pope Benedict XV appointed him titular archbishop of Tyrus[5] and Apostolic Delegate to Mexico.
[citation needed] In Mexico the Church was contending with the government’s anti-clerical campaign, which posed a challenge for the Holy See's representative.
