Earlier this week, Stephen K. Bannon spoke with Edward Pentin, from the National Catholic Register, at the Pontifica Universita in Rome, during events leading up to the canonization of Pope John Paul II and John XXIII.
Pentin remembers Pope John Paul II as incredibly warm and affectionate, traits that endeared him to people worldwide, and particularly in Italy.
Pentin says Pope Francis exudes the same warmth as John Paul II, and describes the atmosphere around Vatican City leading up to the canonization.
