Vatican
City, 26 March 2013
(VIS) – “Francesco – Elezione di un Papa che viene dalla fine
del mondo” (Francis: Election of a Pope from the Ends of the Earth)
is the title of the documentary from Vatican Television, made in
collaboration with the Officina della Comunicazione (OC) and the
Italian newspaper, Il Corriere della Sera. The DVD will be
distributed as a supplement to the Friday, 2 April edition of the
newspaper.
The
documentary registers the events following Pope Benedict XVI's
renunciation of the papacy, the days of the Sede Vacante, and the
conclave that brought the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio
as the new Pope. Through images and previously unpublished interviews
with four cardinals—Cardinal Angelo Comastri, archpriest of the
Basilica of St. Peter; Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, archbishop
of Tegucigalpa, Honduras; Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of
the Pontifical Council for Culture; and Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean
of the College of Cardinals—it reconstructs the most important
stages of this period, culminating in the meeting of the two pontiffs
this past Saturday, 23 March, in Castel Gandolfo.
The
DVD supplement will cost 10.90 euro. Put together in record time, it
was presented this morning in the Press Office of the Holy See by
Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, president of the Pontifical Council
for Social Communications; Msgr. Dario Edoardo Vigano, director of
Vatican Television; and Dr. Ferruccio De Bortoli, editor of Il
Corriere della Sera.
