| Abstract: | It was a period when it was extremely difficult to govern. The Grand Master of the Knights of St. John could hardly think of a way in which he could gain the respect of the members of the Order themselves. The Diocese of Malta was groaning for her Bishop's insufficient care. The natives of the island had lost their confidence in the Apostolic Ministers. In that precarious situation, the Roman Pontiff Innocent X (1644-1655) chose for Malta a new Inquisitor and Apostolic Delegate in the person of Anthony Pignatelli. |
