Pope Leo met yesterday Sebastian Tynkkynen, a Finnish member of the European Parliament. Tynkkynen tells about the meeting among other things:
A Swiss Guard came to welcome us and took our group to the Sala Clementina room. The large doors opened and the Pope entered the room at exactly 9:00 in the morning. A deep silence fell in the room and the Pope walked to his seat. (...)
After the Pope’s greeting, we each had a short conversation with him alone. I didn’t expect this, but I thought the Pope would only take a few questions from our entire delegation. I can admit that I was a little nervous. I will never forget that moment. And I still wonder how this was possible. And also that the Pope spent a whole hour with us.
