Q
Impact of humanising the role of the Pope
A
- Through his humility in visiting Regina Coeli, PJXXIII inspired young men to follow his example and to choose a religious life.
- Through his visits to those on the fringes of society, he
was seen as a father figure for all men and women and this brought him closer to the ordinary people, which was something that many popes in the past failed to achieve. - “anybody can be Pope, the proof of this is that I have
become one.”

Q
Instigation of Second Vatican Council
