It is something I feel I should not do. When we speak to each other, things will come out. I will say what I think; he will say what he thinks. But I have never, ever, wanted to make a judgment without hearing the person. And the second is, what do I think There are always doors that are not closed. We have to find doors that are at least a little open, in order to go in and speak about things we have in common and go forward. Step by step. Peace is something crafted: it is made daily. So too with friendship between people, mutual knowledge. Esteem is crafted; it is worked on each day. Respect for the other, saying what we think, but with respect, walking together Someone sees things in a certain way: say so, be honest in what each of us thinks." -In flight press conference, from Fatima to Rome, May 13, 2017
