CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State of His Holiness, discussed the work of pontifical representatives in an interview.
Asked what qualities he considered essential in a nuncio, Cardinal Parolin listed three: humility, evangelical zeal, and being a “man of reconciliation.”
“We must respond to the Holy Father’s call to be sowers of peace, recognizing that in diplomacy, the other is not primarily an adversary, but a fellow human being with whom we are called to engage,” Cardinal Parolin added.
