ReviewTHE EASE WITH which Pope Francis appeared to the world at the start of his papacy is something relatively new, and is shaping the Church from within. The friendship that the Pope shows for the Christian people--which is ultimately a desire to walk together--is the same friendship that he shows to those who have chosen to follow Christ in the priesthood and who need daily to be renewed by returning to the source of their mission. In the following interviews it will be no surprise to hear people, including some who hold high office in the Church, share the amazing effect of their personal encounters with Francis. They feel themselves welcomed by a look, by Francis's look, so full of affection and mercy, sentiments that give rise to our sense of human dignity. Pietro Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State
