‘Pepe’ di Paola: I said (to Bergoglio): “Boss - because I always call him like that - you can see that the Holy Spirit is assisting you in a special way because you managed to communicate with the whole world through gestures”.

“When I told Bergoglio about the devotion to Gauchito Gil, he told me: go ahead,” confesses father di Paola , who assures that “the one who prays in front of the Gaucho's image is a Catholic”.
