President of the Vatican Governorate<\/strong>
We came to greet him, he is fine. He looks like a 96-year-old. You can tell, he barely speaks, but he acknowledges because he made me director of telecommunications when he was Pope. And I told him: \u201cHoly Father, I was Cardinal Pironio\u2019s secretary\u201d and he said \u201cyes\u201d. So, he acknowledges, he acknowledges. But anyway, it was just a greeting. And then he gave us the blessing with Pope Francis, both of us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
