Any news from Rome?<\/p>\n
Nothing important, but P.L. has sent me Msgr. R.’s photo.<\/i><\/p>\n
Oh, I’d like to see it.<\/p>\n
But I don’t think it’s a recent photo.<\/i><\/p>\n
(Mother looks) … He’s had to struggle with powerful instincts. Sensuality and …
\n
Very intelligent indeed!
\n
Interesting.
\n
A strange man: he is amoral. That is to say, he may do extreme good or extreme evil just as easily. And a brilliant intelligence indeed. A politician of the first order…. You understand, he is good because that’s good policy; but if the policy were to be bad, he would be bad.
\n
I wonder if they have many like that among the cardinals?…
\n
Sensation and thought.
\n
Sentiments: none – what one considers should be, that’s all.
\n
Interesting, very interesting.
\n
When will he come?<\/p>\n
It’s not yet decided. Maybe in August…. But P.L. on the one<\/i><\/p>\n
hand
\n and J. on the other told me he’s a man who has a strange<\/i><\/p>\n
power over women.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Oh!<\/p>\n
You know that he has a huge fortune, which was given him for<\/i><\/p>\n
charity, and it was women who gave him that money. And J.<\/i><\/p>\n
told me he has a power of attraction over women which is<\/i><\/p>\n
quite strange. But P.L. told me that he is "constantly ill, con<\/i><\/p>\n
stantly getting blows…." He must have some vital opening, a<\/i><\/p>\n
weakness, and he gets blows.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Yes, he is the sort of man who IN THE PAST (now it’s no longer like that), who in the past used to disgust me the most. I am not
surprised…. He has something oily.<\/p>\n But P.L. told me that at the same time, something in him feels<\/i><\/p>\n he’s Yes, that’s above the mind. It’s about the only type of man whom I used to find intolerable. We’ll see. (Mother goes into<\/i> a long I’ve been in close contact with all these people. We’ll see.<\/p>\n And what about you? Are you now all right?<\/i><\/p>\n Oh, I had a fever, for two days it was nasty. A big battle. We’ll see later (Mother is clearly not inclined to tell what’s going on).<\/i> Page 217<\/font><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 31, 1968 Any news from Rome?
