" "Welcoming someone has no expiry date or time limit, as long as you ‘stay on the straight and narrow’. If you are a child, you are a child.

Journalist: Welby was denied a funeral. If a person died by assisted suicide, would you celebrate their funeral? Cardinal Zuppi: Yes. However, I must clarify one point: the Church does not allow euthanasia, but calls for the application of palliative care.

The complexity of the situation requires intelligence, mercy and love in order to understand the events of life.

Mi sono chiesto cosa avrei fatto se fossi stato io al posto del nuovo Papa e ho pensato che avrei fatto come nel film di Nanni Moretti: mi sarei affacciato al balcone, dopo avere visto tanta gente l’avrei richiuso e avrei detto: “Non ce la faccio”». [...] Sapevo del FantaPapa perché ne ho parlato con i miei nipoti, ho avuto uno scambio di stima con loro.
