In last week I was at the presentation interesting books: Compagnia di viaggio. Intervista al volo con Giovanni Paolo II by Angela Ambrogetti. This papal record "interviews on the fly", that famous press conference on board the 104 foreign pilgrimages of John Paul II. Angela came to audio (stored in the archives of the Vatican Radio), I rewrite them, affixed by a small comment. And in this way was a fascinating book about the Pope, who was not afraid of the media. More: talking with reporters he felt like a fish in water.

M eksykanin Jorge Sandoval, more than 30 years The Roman correspondent of the newspaper El Sol de Mexico, uncovers the scenes of the first such meeting of journalists with John Paul II. That was in January '79, on its way to Mexico. At some point in the cabin, where were the journalists, came one of the Holy See press office. He was clearly excited. One journalist asked: - what happened? - The Holy Father wants to come here - he replied. Journalists, of course, they rejoiced, although they were confident that the entire meeting will be limited to the fact that the pope would come, greet them, and come back to you. But John Paul II as soon as appeared, he began to examine each individually. He talked to literally everyone. He asked, he answered, he gave interviews. Jorge says today that the Pope asked him about who he is, for whom I work and what is the issue of his newspaper. When I heard the title of the newspaper, said: "Ah," Sun of Mexico ", what a beautiful title. Over Mexico, the sun should always shine. "

P uring the presentation of a book someone rightly pointed out that the interviews on the plane, "John Paul II reveal more than the previously prepared speech ". Press conferences captured the pope in his spontaneity. He showed his transparency, that he did not play, did not assume the mask: and publicly and privately was the same.

P apieskie interviews in an airplane show how John Paul II understood the role of the mass media. For journalists who remember the beginning of his pontificate, his approach was a great novelty. Sandoval: "You could say that before him the door to information, the Vatican were closed. Many of the journalists' questions met with answers like: do not know, then you can not say. For this reason, the Holy See was neither important nor interesting source of information. If someone has already dealt with it, it was based more on speculation than information. John Paul II is changed. Appointed spokesman Navarro Valls journalist. He trusted him, that he gave him - in the communications field - the green light. And suddenly, there is nothing to talk about and write. " John Paul II opened the doors of communication of the Church, and it opened so wide that - according to Sandoval - although today has changed a lot, no one ventured to the door close.
