Our St. Paul Multimedia Center, Rome, chose precisely this moment in which the College of Cardinals is gathering in Vatican City to hold its conclave to elect a new Pope as a favorable time for launching the new release of FSP Publications, Italy, Vatican II and Communications.
The author, Fr. Dario Edoardo Viganò, a university professor and cinematography expert, was recently appointed by Benedict XVI as the new director of the Vatican TV Center. Present at the book launch was noted journalist and TV personality, Rosario Carello, who hosts the weekly religious program, In His Image, broadcast by RAI-1.
Carello, a Pauline Cooperator, conducted a lively interview with Fr. Viganò, exploring the author’s reinterpretation of the Church-society relationship sketched out in his book. The meeting between these two media professionals was dense with prophetic elements not only for the FSPs but also for the many people who attended the book launch.
Fr. Viganò summed up the exchange of ideas with the statement, “What remains to be done? Probably to re-think ourselves within the framework of the movement of the Spirit that characterized Vatican II and learn to listen to him open-mindedly.”
