They always spent time together, kept long and good conversations, laughed and thought a lot. Cardinal Christoph Schönborn not only mourns the loss of the late Pope, but for a person he liked, honored and appreciated. His death notice.
In the last few days, since the death of Pope Francis, I have always been asked how he was a person. My answer is always: normal! Normally the first word he was for the people at St. Peter’s Square, on the evening of March 13: “Buonasera!” Good evening! Normally the word with which he said goodbye every Sunday, who had come to St. Peter’s Square for lunch prayer: “Buon Appetito!” Bon Appetit! Why was the normal surprising for many? Probably because in one way or another you expect a pope to be very different, sublime, unapproachable, almost varied.
