Summary/Abstract: Pope Benedict XV (1914-1922) is often called a `missionary Pope' on the grounds of his effort to redefine and to offer a new vision of the missionary activity of the Church. The crucial principle of the renewed missionary vision was to deprive it of the political factor. Another novelty introduced by the Pontiff was to introduce the native hierarchy along with the ecclesiastical administration in the missionary countries and to foster the education and the autonomy of the local clergy. The modern, groundbreaking teaching was defined in the encyclical letter Maximum illud promulgated on 30/11/1919.
