April 25, 2020 The collection of solidarity requested by the Pope to cardinals and bishops of the Roman Curia to help critical issues in the coronavirus emergency has already given "good results". The Pope's almsman, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, is satisfied. It was a choral response. '' I did not imagine this generosity. The Pope is happy. Those who paid have responded wholeheartedly, those who have not yet done so must mature, '' said the Pope's charitable arm in an interview with Adnkronos, which most clearly highlights who among cardinals and bishops has also given '' a double salary '' or even '' one '' rather than the number of those who have not yet been generous.

Pursue the straight path
'' Even the disciples ran away when they saw Jesus condemned but then they took the right path again, '' says Cardinal Krajevski resorting to an effective symbolism. '' The majority paid - he reiterates -. Of course, there are those who paid more, but it would not be fair to give figures, we must not strip ourselves of everything and it would not be fair. The symbol was the donation. I didn't think so well. ''

A good harvest
The Pope's Elemosiniere signals the great impetus of the canons of the various basilicas: '' In 60 thousand they paid, they were very generous. It was a touching thing. We don't talk about numbers, but it's a good harvest. ''

The only one to betray was Judas
And who did not give anything? '' There is only the litany of the saints, not the lost '', the reply of the Almsman who means that "he hurts himself" to focus on the few negative examples ignoring the generosity of the majority. '' In the college of the 12 apostles the only one to betray was Judas, but if we stop him we will not go on. The other eleven brought the gospel worldwide. This is what must be done without ever closing the doors to hope. ''
