Paul VI was Pope of firsts, a Pope of dialogue, cardinal says

Pope Paul VI is depicted in a stained-glass window at St. Anthony of Padua Church in East Northport, N.Y. The pope will be beatified Oct. 19, the final day of the extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the family.

VATICAN CITY - Retired Italian Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, who comes from the same diocese as Pope Paul VI did and worked for him in the Vatican Secretariat of State, described the late pope as a man rich in spirituality, a thinker and a pastor "very sensitive to the challenges of the modern world."
