Acta Apostolicae Sedis - Commentarium Officiale
The brief ministry of His Holiness John Pani I as Pope was brightly
illümined by apostolic simplicity. We grieve with the Church of Rome
at the loss of her gentle pastor whose humility and compassion touched
the hearts of many in all Christian Communions. We are at one with
you in your sorrow and at one in prayer for the repose and blessed
memory of Pope John Paul.
