Statement by President Meloni on the first anniversary of the passing of Pope Benedict XVI

Today marks the first anniversary of the passing of Pope Benedict XVI. As we remember one of history’s greats and a giant of reason, faith and the positive synthesis between the two, we continue to draw on his rich spiritual and intellectual legacy. This legacy is also of deep civic value, able to guide all believers and non-believers alike, as it continues to speak to people’s hearts and minds.
