\n<\/strong>We just came to say hello. He's fine. You can see that he's like a 96-year-old person. He hardly speaks. But he recognizes people because he made me director of telecommunications when he was Pope. And I told him: 'Holy Father, I was Cardinal Pironio's secretary' and he said 'yes.' So, he recognizes people; he recognizes. But well, it was just a little greeting. And then, he gave us a blessing with Pope Francis.<\/em><\/p>\n
