Cardinal Zuppi and his words on the new Pope and Bologna

In a time of great expectation for the Catholic Church, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi has made some statements that have captured the attention of the media and the faithful. Intercepted by journalists in via della Conciliazione, Zuppi responded with a smile to a question about the new Pontiff, stating that "in principle the Pope is always good."

This statement, though light, reflects his confidence in the new spiritual leader and the direction the Church might take under his guidance.

Hopes for Bologna

But the Church is not the only thing that occupies the cardinal’s thoughts. With a touch of humor, Zuppi emphasized that before thinking about the new Pope, it is necessary for Bologna to win the championship. “I never hoped,” he declared, highlighting how his passion for football can be intertwined with his ecclesiastical responsibilities. This comment brought smiles to those present, demonstrating that even religious leaders can have a lighter and more human side.

An uncertain but promising future

Regarding the future of the Church, Zuppi said he felt “still in apnea,” an expression that suggests caution and reflection. The Catholic Church is in a period of transition, and the cardinal’s words can be interpreted as a sign of his willingness to observe and understand before taking a position. His attitude reflects the challenges the Church faces, but also the hope for a renewal that can attract new generations of believers.
