"The election of John XXIII to the papacy has had varied and reliable interpretations, not always free of objections. Undoubtedly those who believe in the aid of the Holy Spirit, are not surprised by anything, least of all by the age of the man called, and often they rejoice; but even those who hesitate, biased by a reductive vision of the divine reality of the Church, are convinced that that election honored a biblical man."
