TRE PAPI SANTI

John XXIII, Paul VI and Pope John Paul II, three Holy Popes told thanks to the precious personal experience of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re. "Three Popes great for holiness, who have left an indelible mark on the Church and the world. Three Popes linked to the Second Vatican Council: John XXIII wanted and opened it; Paul VI guided and concluded it; John Paul II, Pope formed by the Council, based his entire pontificate on the Council's teachings. Three Popes different in origin, character, formation and experience, but of exceptional stature. They all shared the same ardor in the work of evangelization and each was able to respond wisely to the needs of their time as leaders of the Church of Christ" (from the Introduction).
