” “"In the time he spent at Bayard states "La Croix" Jean Gélamur experienced all the changes that occurred within the Church with serene faithfulness to the authorities of Rome and France. He wanted to see the people behind the institutions." Actually, the underlying theme of his life was his concern for man and for the Catholic Church. "We shared the same view of God and the world", stated to the Catholic daily paper card. Roger Etchegaray, who also mentioned "the huge services he provided to the press and ethics", "his intellectual and spiritual integrity, which made him a clear-minded, brave Christian". Gélamur held positions in the International Catholic Union of the Press and in the Papal Commission for Social Communication, and president Mitterrand wanted him to unofficially represent the Catholic families in the National Advisory Ethics Committee. The last position he held was the presidency of the Catholic Hospital "Saint-Joseph" in Paris where as usual he combined social responsibility with Christian commitment. Jean Gélamur’s life has been "the journey of a Christian in the world", concludes the daily paper "La Croix".
