So was his landing in Rome in March 1982 when John Paul II called him to exercise as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal of Munich only then took his new home his two thousand books and piano . His apartment was a few meters from the Vatican, in the Borgo Pio, and all were second-hand furniture. At that time it was not uncommon to meet him first thing in the morning in the middle of the Plaza de San Pedro, because every day he walked into his office with clerical collar black dress and with the typical trappings of Cardinal.
We wish the current Pope.
