\n\u201cTo overcome the pandemic we must not only find the cure for the coronavirus, which is important. We must also find a cure for the major human and socioeconomic viruses.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe pope used the mechanism of dreaming, which is a way of thinking open to the possibility of something new the Holy Spirit offers you. It might be a warning. It might be the confirmation of a mission, but it comes unconsciously from an outside source, which is one way God uses to touch the heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere are many parts of the book that to me seem fundamental in terms of the pontificate in which he expresses himself, in a very new and important way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe part when he's in the Constitution Square in Buenos Aires, and to him, the crowd he saw resembled the crowd that followed Jesus.\u201d
\n\u201cIt's a passage that really moves me and explains a lot about him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
