00:18Now the Italian church needs to be rebuilt. This is her words. What do you make of this?

00:25Well, I wouldn't dare say or suggest how the Italian church should change or evolve or, you know, be rebuilt.

00:38This is none of my business and I don't have the authority to say that.

00:43Certainly Pope Francis has been a game changer. This is true.

00:46And he changed deeply also, somehow in a revolutionary way also, some columns of the church.

00:58For good, for the best or not, for good or bad, this has to be left to history to decide and a judgment will come in time.

01:09But certainly he's been a game changer. And again, each Pope with his strong personality has been a game changer.

01:17Let's think of John Paul II, but even of Benedict XVI.

01:22So I would say that with a new Pope coming on the verge of history, we'll see again another church.
