Maybe indirectly, but the immediate cue was more likely Pius IX and his affirmation of the doctrine of papal infallibility in 1870. The author was 12.15.18.4.1.3.20.15.14.

17.23.19.3.8.23.14 or, possibly, 17.23.19.5.16.22.14, if 4.14.25.16 doesn't apply

3.1.5.19.1.18 did use a similar code, but his i thought displaced 2.5.20.20.5.18.19 by three places to encode and decode? a classic 23.18.1.16.16.9.14.7 3.9.16.8.5.18 (?)
