"The Church can and must be, living in this way, a sign of hope in Italian society," he said. "People talk and write about the Church, the Church in Italy, its future, its difficulties, its problems", such as the "diminished relevance and consistency of the Church", he added. "For some it is evidence of wrong choices, for others the effect of choices not made, for other still the anguished observation of choices to be made"
