"An inner fatigue has grown in me that has gradually deprived me of the momentum and serenity needed to lead the Church of Lugano. The public aspects, the representation, the financial and administrative management, have become unbearable for me, despite the valuable presence of collaborators to whom my gratitude is due. I tell you this with an open heart: I can no longer imagine being in the position I have tried to hold until now."
