” ““While reading the pages of Il lievito del Vangelo said this morning mgr. Pietro Parolin, undersecretary for relations with the states at the Secretariat of State, during the presentation of the book written by card. Sodano in the newsroom of the Holy See I recognised those traits of the superior that I learnt to know and appreciate when I worked with him, more and more closely, at the Secretariat of State: his vision, his spirit, his method”. A vision “imbued with sound Christian realism” for which “evil exists in the world” but “it is not the last word”: “That spurred that invincible hope” highlighted mgr. Parolin that supported card. Sodano in his work, as he explained himself in his book. A spirit that caused “all issues to be always treated with pastoral criteria” by taking care of “the salvation of the souls”. A method that was “that of a discreet presence”. “The Holy See has a duty commented mgr. Parolin to follow the efforts of the international community just so that it can act from the inside, ‘as the classical yeast of the woman in the Gospel’, despite all the difficulties and also the oppositions”. “Discretion added mgr. Parolin is God’s method to take action in the history of man and must be therefore the method of His Church”. (to be continued)
