Canberran Catholics have been immediate, but not only the Catholics in praying for Pope
00:05
and gratitude, but just in the last 12 hours I've received very fervent sentiments from
00:11
leaders of the Islam, Jewish and Hindu faiths.
00:16
They've come and said how much they meant to him, how the Pope meant to them, so he
00:21
was a real internationalist in that, not just a Pope for the Catholics, certainly that, but
00:26
for all of us.
00:27
We pray for our Pope, he was such a lovely down-to-earth Pope, and we wish that we can
00:35
get a new Pope as he was, to lead our Catholic community, and we pray for our Pope always,
00:45
he will be always remembered in our minds.
00:50
The Australians would love him because he was very Australian, he was low-key, sense of humour,
00:55
we had a few jokes together, and there was a time for 90 minutes in four or five years
01:02
ago, where all the bishops of Australia, about 35 of us gathered with him, for a good 90 minutes,
01:08
it was just us.
01:09
He said, oh well I've prepared a formal statement, if you want it you can take it on the way out,
01:13
but let's talk.
01:15
And that's exactly what he did, and it is an unforgettable memory for me to be sitting
01:19
down in a small group with the successor of Peter, the 266th Pope, and to be able to talk
01:26
to him and talk to a real parish priest of the world, I suppose that's how we would see it.
