Powers of Pedro – Vatican News

Andrea Tornelli

In the intense hours preceding at the beginning of the star, I was held to choose the new successor of the Messenger Peter, it is worth remembering a decisive aspect of the bishop of Rome, especially by the people of God: Parents. Millions of people, at the time of the unexpected announcement of the death of Francisco, felt the father’s orphans.

Upon his return from his journey to India in December 1964, Paul VI was reflected in the father’s experience in a dialogue with his friend, philosopher Jean -Ghetton. Upon arrival, the street was received by the street by more than a million people belonging to all religions. An unforgettable embrace.

Pablo VI toured the entire painful path between the crowd, which was crowded to the top of the ancient alleys of the Holy City. Sometimes it seemed to end by the crowd. His face has always been calm and smiling as he raised his hands to bless.

Father Julio Bevillaca, a personal friend of young people, revealed this afternoon to a group of journalists who gathered in front of the Apostolic delegation in Jerusalem, many years ago before Giovanni Batista Montini recently offered him: “I dream of the Pope who lives free from Bob from a court of Trotokol in the center only.” Therefore, Bevilacqua concluded that “I am convinced that today, although the crowd was overwhelmed, he was happier than it was when he descended to San Pedro in the gesture chair …”.
