egli ne fu il più tenace diffusore
Italian to English
Art/Literary
In pochi anni, da quando fu esposta alla venerazione, l’immagine di Maria Ausiliatrice, che don Bosco aveva fatto dipingere a Tommaso Lorenzone per la nuova chiesa di Valdocco, venne definita dalla gente "la Madonna di don Bosco". Questo non perché fosse stata una sua creazione, ma perché certo egli ne fu il più tenace diffusore, fino a renderla di larga popolarità.

it was he who most ardently strove to make Her known
I understand 'ne' in your quote to mean Maria Ausiliatrice. Bosco was a promotor of the cult of Mary.

Paola - I would say that "diehard" does not imply a particular mindset, rather it is a qualifier of degree... you could have a diehard radical, a diehard communist, a diehard modernist....
