The world has stopped turning. The world has stopped turning.
For days now something has been happening
that we haven't seen for a long time.
News and social networks, the front page of newspapers
are not focusing on evil anymore,
but on good.
Not on war and terrorism, but on love.
And all of this thanks to Pius the 13th's heartbreaking love letters.
The world has stopped turning.
To talk about love.
How are you?
Who, me?
I'm always in a good mood.
I've always associated good mood with stupidity.
And not without reason, Your Holiness.
However you can't imagine the amount of energy that comes
from good mood and stupidity.
What did you want to tell me?
I wanted to update you on a survey in the magazine
"Catholic Universe" that I've been publishing for eight years.
What is it about?
We asked a question to a mixed group of people:
if they'd like to attend a sermon of the Pope face to face.
- How many? - 99% of all Catholics.
And would this change things?
No, Your Holiness. It wouldn't change things.
A Pope doesn't change people.
Well, then you're confirming that there is no good reason
for me to appear in public.
No, actually yes, there is a reason.
And what would that be?
If you appear in public,
it would help these people to be in a good mood.
- I'm not a comedian. - That doesn't matter.
It's the show of being there that helps people to be in a good mood.
That's not my duty.
Yes. Yes, it is.
Your Holiness...
You've changed a lot since you began your papacy.
Affliction changes us, Aguirre.
But good mood doesn't.
You already knew I had fallen in love with that woman, didn't you?
Of course you knew it.
I'm an open book to you.
And here we are again at the same age-old question:
who ever said that a man can't love God and a woman at the same time?
That's bullshit.
There's one thing I've never understood about you:
whether you're a Lazio fan like your father
or whether you root for Napoli like I do.
You're unclear on this point.
What?
You want to know what became of Tonino Pettola?
Look, well... Tonino Pettola... what happened is that...
Jesus, what an unseemly thing!
I didn't want to, but the Pope...
Basically, Tonino Pe...
Oh God, I was about to tell you!
No, my friend. You'll have to forgive me. But I...
I can't tell anyone what became of Tonino Pettola.
Forgive me, but I can't even tell you, and you're my best friend.
There are certain secrets so important
that only one person should know them.
Don't resent me for this. I love you like the son I never had.
But I can never reveal to you what became of Tonino Pettola.
Merry Christmas, Girolamo.
