(GENEVA = Yonhap News) Correspondent Anhui = Pope Francis has sent a telegram of condolences to his daughter Irina, who is bereaved on the news of the passing of former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
In a telegram sent to Irina on the 31st of last month (local time), the Pope said, “My father and I, who are in a moment of spiritual pain, are close,” according to Archyde.com and others.
“My father is a respected politician,” he said.
Former President Gorbachev, who passed away on the 30th of last month at the age of 91, met with then Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in December 1989.
At this time, the former Soviet Union abandoned the obsession with communist ideology and formally established diplomatic relations with the Vatican.
