Romolo Murri

Romolo Murri (Monte San Pietrangeli, 27 August 1870 – Rome, 12 March 1944) was an Italian politician and ecclesiastic.

Pope Pius X explicitly condemned the movement in 1906 in his encyclical Pieni l'Animo, forbidding all priests from joining it under penalty of suspension a divinis ipso facto.

His movement was once again condemned by Pius X in his encyclical Pascendi Dominici gregis, which equated it to modernism, and was finally excommunicated in 1909.

[5] In 1912, he married in Rome with Ragnhild Lund, daughter of the former president of Lagting (the upper house of the Norwegian Parliament), with whom he had a son.

[5] After the rise of the Fascist regime in Italy, Murri withdrew from active politics and devoted himself to journalism, becoming a contributor for Il Resto del Carlino.
