Overview

Formerly, one had to kiss Papal slippers and to talk to the Pope was possible only through the master of ceremony. Nowadays, everyone can shake Papal hands. Popes came down from king's thrones, litters, were emerging from the clouds of incense, in order finally to become someone very close and valued to us. In this episode we are trying to describe the big change that was done in the last hundred years during which the figure of the Holy Father became for million of faithful, as close as their own local person.
