Additional quotes by Giovanni Battista Re

Auspico che questa sera tornando a Roma trovi già la fumata bianca. Sono particolarmente lieto di essere qui all'inizio del Conclave perché lo Spirito Santo abbia a soffiare forte e sia così eletto il Papa di cui ha bisogno la Chiesa di oggi e il mondo di oggi.
