The Vatican press conference to introduce Dignitas Infinita was that rare thing in the history of Vatican press conferences – it was interesting.
Not thanks to the document itself, which was a hodge-podge of things-we-already-knew, but because it was the first press conference given by Cardinal Victor Fernandez, known as Tucho, the new head of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith.
Fernandez is perhaps Pope Francis’ closest collaborator and long-time friend who has had a hand in writing many of the Pope’s documents. This was Vatican journalists first chance to see him in action.
