Q: And you? Are you ever afraid of making a mistake in your work?

A: “I quit being afraid when I said to myself: ‘If one day I make a gigantic error that is printed in block lettering in all the newspapers of the world, what is going to happen to the Church?’”

Q: What was your answer?

A: “That nothing would happen. The Church isn’t hurt by a man’s mistake. Do you know what I feel like in my work?”

Q: What?

A: “Like an envelope with a message inside it. It needs to be attractive and the handwriting must be good, but it is only a container. Woe to anyone who confuses it with its contents.”

the rest…

I read this interview earlier and while I have always admired the man, the way he revitalized the Vatican media offices and how he has handled such a high profile pope as JPII, I was impressed all over again with him. A most multi talented and remarkable person it seems to me.
