Pope Francis has thrown
himself back into his work enthusiastically after returning to
Rome following a trip to Latin America and appears "fresh and
lively", Vatican protocol officer Guillermo Karcher said on
Tuesday.
"This morning I saw the pope at 8:20 and he was already
working," Karcher told the TV2000 channel.
"He was all fresh and lively, as if he hadn't just crossed
the ocean. The pope was enthusiastic and happy with his trip to
Latin America," said Karcher, an Argentinian protocol officer
and close associate of Francis.
He said Francis' message on his trip now needed to be
absorbed by the Latin American people, who Karcher said shared
the Church's family values.
"In Latin America you can't say that the family does not
exist. Today there are still many families there that live the
values that we maybe don't see any more in other places. It's a
Christian family that believes," he said.
Francis wrapped up his tour of Latin America on Sunday,
flying back to Rome after visiting Ecuador, Bolivia and
Paraguay.
