" "Seeing so many people in St. Peter's Square waiting for the announcement was truly moving. There was anticipation, so much joy, so much desire. I had a lump in my throat. I wondered what I would have done if I had been in the new Pope's place, and I thought I would have done as in the film by Nanni Moretti: I would have stepped out onto the balcony, and after seeing so many people, I would have closed it and said, “I can't do it”. [...] I knew about FantaPapa because I talked about it with my grandchildren, and we exchanged words of esteem.

Zuppi difende le benedizioni delle coppie omosessuali: “Compito della Chiesa interessarsi di tutti” (in Italian; January 22, 2024)
La sintonia è profonda. Il Papa riesce ad arrivare a tantissime persone, tocca il cuore, riscalda, fa sentire amati, fa sentire la Chiesa vicina alla gente, una Chiesa che ti ascolta, che si appassiona al tuo problema. Il Papa ha una grande visione pastorale e annuncia nella lingua e con le categorie di oggi le verità di sempre. Oltre tutto ci aiuta a capire che il sociale e lo spirituale sono intimamente uniti. E guai a dividerli.
Those who come from afar seem like enemies, but only because no one has ever spoken to them. Don't believe those who tell you not to talk to them: you just have to find the right way to talk to them. ... Sometimes it seems that selfishness is convenient, but it only hurts us. Love is always convenient, love always wins. We must learn to do works of mercy, not works of selfishness.
