In his new book, the Spanish writer recounts his trip to Ulan Batorsk with the pontiff in 2023. As a convinced atheist, he discovered the 'radicality' of religious people who 'help people without proselytism'. “They embody the pontiff's missionary and poverty Church,” he said yesterday in Rome when meeting with the press. In the novel narrated the meetings with Fr. Ernesto Viscardi and Sr. Ana Waturu.
