Pope Francis presides over Mass during the Night for the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, December 24, 2022. Probably the single most commonly asked question in casual conversation, in grocery store lines and post offices, in telephone calls and messages on WhatsApp, and pretty much everywhere else humans interact, is some version of the following: “So, how was your Christmas?”

Yet De Donatis also insisted that Rupnik deserves the benefit of the doubt, declaring that “we ministers of Christ can’t be less committed to the due process of law, and less charitable, than a secular state, automatically transforming an accusation into a crime.” Since the beginning of the war, Francis has aspired to play the role of peace-maker, and Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin, his top diplomat, has publicly and repeatedly volunteered the Vatican’s mediation services. A recent apology to Moscow after Francis raised hackles by linking two ethnic minorities allied with Russia, the Chechens and Buryats, to war crimes, was intended to keep that possibility alive.

The Pope’s warning about “people hungry for power and money” who end up “consuming” their neighbours drew wide play in the global media, especially in light of ongoing images of destruction in Ukraine.Likewise, the Pope’s lament about a “famine of peace” in his Christmas Day Urbi et Orbi address, delivered before a crowd in St Peter’s Square estimated at 70,000 people, led news broadcasts that day all around the world.

Distraught by grief over the death of his wife, Cofano turned to his parish priest, Fr Donato Liuzzi. In addition to offering his own consolation, Liuzzi also quietly informed Fr Fabio Salerno, a private secretary of Pope Francis, of what had happened, knowing that sometimes Francis likes to reach out directly to people suffering tragedy.

“I don’t remember the exact words, but I was stupefied by the fact that he thought of me and found the time to call,” he said of Pope Francis. “I swear, it seemed like talking to somebody who’s close to me, a friend. It was almost like a confession.”
