From Catholic News Agency-The papacies of John XXIII and John Paul II are connected in their dedication to God and to lives of priestly service, a cardinal who worked with both of the pontiffs stressed.
“The two Popes are linked above all by the fact that they were Popes, and Saint Popes, and this is connected with the deepness of their ministry, of a life totally dedicated to their priestly service,” said Cardinal Paul Poupard, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Culture.
Cardinal Poupard worked at the Secretariat of State beginning in 1959, the second year of John XXIII’s papacy.
In 1980, John Paul II appointed him head of the Secretariat for Non-Believers, and he was president of the Pontifical Council for Culture from 1988 to 2007.
In an April 15 interview with CNA, the cardinal stressed the deep spirituality of both Popes.
