00:01The view is rather beautiful.
00:03The view is amazing. Yes, it's true.
00:07In fact, when people come here, I say,
00:09well, you have looked out of the window, have you?
00:12And then they sort of take their breath away,
00:15that you could be so close to the facade of St. Peter's.
00:20This is where I might read the paper.
00:22You see, read the papers and sit down here
00:24and listen to a bit of music.
00:29Do you want me to put a bit on?
00:32Yes.
00:33OK. I don't remember what was in here.
00:40That's ABBA, you see. We had a bit of ABBA last night.
00:57This is the Vatican, as it's never been seen before.
01:06From the lives of the highest ranking officials,
01:11to the men and women working every day
01:13to keep this unique city-state running.
01:17This is how it becomes a work that is done every day,
01:20in routine.
01:22It's an inspection of every object
01:24that could hide an ordinate.
01:31I'm just going to check I've got all the music
01:33that I actually need for this evening,
01:35because that would be a disaster if I left that at home.
01:37For over a year, we've been filming the inner workings
01:41of the Vatican.
01:45Oh, boy, I'm a fashion model now.
01:47Perfect!
01:47Perfect!
01:49In its attempts to reform,
01:52the Catholic Church has faced
01:53some of its biggest challenges for a generation.
01:58The Church is always in need of reform.
02:02When you do that,
02:03it also involves implicitly or explicitly criticism.
02:09In this episode,
02:11the Vatican prepares to stage
02:12the most sacred moment of the year
02:14for the world's 1.3 billion Catholics.
02:19Easter.
02:41It's 6am.
02:44As a new year dawns in Vatican City,
02:47the sediari, or chair-bearers,
02:50are arriving for work.
02:55Until 1978,
02:56it was the sediari's duty
02:58to carry the Pope
02:59on his ceremonial throne.
03:08Now their duties are very different,
03:10as they prepare to welcome the public
03:12to walk into this tiny nation-state.
03:15Giovagnoli,
03:16we've said,
03:18and Eusebio.
03:19Yes.
03:20Dante,
03:21the first door
03:21of the special department,
03:23on the left.
03:26Sanzolini,
03:265-grana,
03:27and Rienzo,
03:29as usual,
03:30to the wounded.
03:32The Vescovi of Filippo,
03:33which would have to be
03:35four or five Vescovi.
03:36We pray for our Holy Father,
03:39Papa Francesco.
03:40The Lord,
03:41save your life,
03:43make you happy on earth,
03:44and don't let you fall
03:46in the hands of his enemies.
03:50Every Wednesday,
03:52the sediari are on hand
03:53as the Pope greets pilgrims
03:55during his weekly general audience.
03:58on the left,
04:14and on the left.
04:15Our warm hand,
04:16it's been a sick disease.
04:18It's been put out now.
04:19It's been presented now.
04:20I don't know.
04:25But it's been shaken.
04:26from Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Brazil.
04:31And we have an audience with the Pope,
04:33because Pope is Argentinian,
04:35and we consider him as one of us.
04:47We are from Pisa, Tuscany,
04:50and this is our third day of honeymoon.
04:52We just got married.
05:21We made the Pope! Oh, my God!
05:21Oh, my God!
05:24We made the Pope! Oh, my God!
05:26Oh, my God!
05:32Pope Francis believes in the church
05:33no longer like a fortress,
05:37condemning and telling the world what to do,
05:39but a church in dialogue, in service in the world.
05:42He really believes bishops should be
05:46people close to the poor
05:48who are not sort of lording it over others.
05:52He is the first Latin American pope.
05:55We shouldn't underestimate that.
05:58There was a bottom-up movement in Latin America
06:00using theology to transform people's lives
06:03and political structures.
06:04And Pope Francis comes from that tradition.
06:08He's not a liberal.
06:10He's not a conservative.
06:12He's a radical.
06:19Pope Francis believes in practicing what he preaches,
06:23so that's why he decided to not live in the Apostolic Palace,
06:26but in the Casa Santa Marta,
06:27so he could be amongst people,
06:29so he could show to the world
06:30that a pope is not a prince but a pastor.
06:37For centuries,
06:39popes have lived in the Apostolic Palace.
06:44Today it's still home to a few high-ranking Vatican officials.
06:50At the moment we have a little problem with seagulls
06:52because the sisters have fed the seagulls
06:55and now the seagulls keep coming back,
06:57so we have to shoo the seagulls off the windows.
07:01Originally from Liverpool,
07:03Archbishop Paul Gallagher is the Holy See's
07:06secretary for relations with states,
07:08effectively the pope's foreign minister.
07:13The Holy Father decided that it would be a good idea
07:16that the three superiors of the secretary to state
07:20lived in the palace together.
07:23The only disadvantage is it's very close to the office.
07:27So what is original,
07:29we certainly know that the floor is original
07:31from the time of Pope Julius,
07:34and the ceiling is original
07:36because that's his coat of arms.
07:38His name was Giuliano della Rovere,
07:40that was his coat of arms.
07:43I slept here for a couple of weeks when my mum came to visit
07:47a few years ago,
07:48and it's a very pleasant place to sleep.
07:51But Liverpool's still home.
07:53Liverpool is still where I go,
07:55and probably Liverpool is the place where I'll go
07:58when nobody wants to employ me here anymore.
08:03I come from a modest family,
08:06and what my father always described as an ordinary family.
08:10Shall I say upper-working-class people.
08:14Oh, I've done that wrong.
08:17One of my great fears is we're forgetting to turn the electricity off
08:31of the people.
08:32At the end of the day,
08:33a parish priest is concerned with the good of his people.
08:35A diplomat is concerned with promoting the common good,
08:39seeking to improve relations between nations.
08:44So it's all very people-centred.
08:49January is a busy time for the Vatican Foreign Office,
08:52as they prepare to welcome ambassadors from around the world.
08:58We talk to the ambassadors, meet with the officials.
09:02This morning we've had a delegation from the United States.
09:05We had a visit from the President of the Central African Republic.
09:09There's somebody coming from Kosovo later in the morning.
09:14Working in an office here.
09:17Fisca.
09:19Bonsoir.
09:20Apart from the fact that people are dressed a bit differently,
09:24it's in many ways like working in office anywhere.
09:27The Vatican is one of the world's oldest diplomatic institutions.
09:33We're going to the entrance to the Secretariat of State
09:36along the Third Lodger,
09:37which is these famous and beautiful maps of the known world
09:43as it was in the beginning of the 17th century.
09:47And here down in the corner are the British Isles,
09:51in all their glory.
09:54Whenever we have English visitors coming from home,
09:57you take them over and they're always amazed.
09:59I think small places, Derby, Hull, York,
10:04lots and lots of amazing places.
10:07And somebody told me recently that in this corner here,
10:09this sort of Swansea appears twice for some reason.
10:12Somebody made a mistake.
10:23This is a side of the Basilica that nobody ever sees.
10:27At the back of it.
10:29It's just been cleaned, so it's absolutely bright white,
10:32and in the morning it's blinding.
10:43The Easter Vigil, which is the Saturday,
10:48it's a very big service.
10:51In fact, it's possibly the biggest service of the year.
10:54I sing on my own in front of the Pope,
10:57in front of all the curia, in front of the choir,
11:00in front of the thousands of people in the Basilica,
11:02and millions of people watching live worldwide.
11:09When I started, I was the first ever English singer in this choir.
11:13It's the Cappella Musicale Pontificia.
11:16We're known as the Sistina, but it's the papal musical chapel.
11:20We're the personal choir of the Pope.
11:23The Sistine Chapel is our home,
11:24but we don't sing for the Sistine Chapel,
11:26we sing for the Pope.
11:28And therefore, we are all extended members of the papal family.
11:40Now, we're going to read,
11:42immediately,
11:43the first celebration we have done,
11:45which is the 2.1.
11:47And then,
11:53we'll see you again.
12:02I went to Trinity College Dublin and I studied music there and at that point I
12:09realized that I wanted to pursue singing and then I was looking for work and I
12:17came to Italy and I investigated the opera houses and it was while I was in
12:23Rome that it was suggested to me that I go and meet Maestro Palombella at the
12:43Sistine Chapel Maestro Palombella is an extraordinary man he will insist on
12:47having the exact sound that he wants and he will work until he gets it and that
12:53can be a hard process
13:31do you think that if you are Catholic you are a better singer I don't think the
13:41fact of being a say a Catholic singer makes you a better singer obviously you
13:46have to understand what this music is about to to give it the kind of
13:50expression that it requires in less than three months mark will take part in one
13:58of the most important performances of his life as he sings solo during the Easter
14:04celebrations in st. Peter's Basilica
14:14the Vatican the Vatican is not only the headquarters of a global religion
14:22it's also a self-governing city-state a nation within a nation
14:29now we're leaving Italy and we are entering Vatican city-state here
14:39there's the post office just over there there's a supermarket over there there's a
14:44pharmacy this is a shortcut actually because only the employees who work at the
14:52opposite place can enter here every day 2,600 people come to work inside the
15:00Vatican I guess it will be a busy day there's a lot to do a lot is happening all
15:09over the world and so there's a lot to do to do I'm working in the section for the
15:19relations with states which deals with what a Minister of Foreign Affairs would do
15:28basically actually the Pope is receiving right now on the second floor or the right
15:35floor I work on the last floor it's called the there is something very special about working here
15:53there is also a simplicity and in a very fraternal atmosphere of course you have
16:03some protocols you have some ways to do things to greet people to greet a monsignor
16:11you have the the Swiss guards who are there who greet also the person who are
16:16coming there is a particular culture here which is not properly Italian I would
16:22say because this is something very international and you have here people
16:26from all over the world
16:36every January the Secretariat of State invites representatives of all nations for
16:43the Pope's annual state of the world address we try to stay abreast of what's
16:49happening in the world and to help the Holy Father gain an in-depth knowledge of
16:54certain situations Middle East the war in Syria Iraq so those are the things that
17:01are sort of on our daily agenda our work in diplomatic activity is not a question of great successes it's
17:14more very often a drop of water going onto a stone and eroding it and hopefully in
17:20time there will be improvements or success
17:48Outside the palace live another group of the Pope's invited guests.
17:54Homeless Italians and migrants, catered for by the nuns of Santissima Adolorata.
18:25I think it's part of the Pope Francis agenda and the Pope Francis approach that if you're
18:31going to talk about a church for the poor, of the poor, then you need to start where you
18:38live and you need to live that out with credibility.
18:42If you're going to be a Pope who takes the name of St. Francis of Assisi, the great saint
18:48of poverty, humility and peace, you better make sure that you live that with integrity,
18:54otherwise you're going to be found out pretty quickly.
18:59They are different for our Muslim friends, so they can have a bagel with their religion.
19:09So, the red one contains the bread and the bread and the bread and the bread.
19:17Let's say that among our friends, there is also someone who is walking on the table for
19:21to eat the bread.
19:23Let's say that the other day I'm walking on the table.
19:27Now I'm going to start.
19:29Now I'll call you.
19:30Welcome to our place.
19:34In the name of the Father, the Father, the Father and the Holy Spirit.
19:38Amen.
19:39From the volunteers of the Suarez, good food and good evening.
19:43Please.
19:44Good evening.
19:46Good evening.
19:46Good evening.
19:47Good evening.
19:48Good evening.
19:49Good evening.
19:51Good evening.
19:51Good evening.
19:52Good evening.
19:53Good evening.
19:58sovente vittime del traffico di essere umani oggi si parla molto di migranti e migrazioni
20:07talvolta solo per suscitare paure ancestrali non bisogna dimenticare che le migrazioni sono sempre
20:19resistite nella tradizione giudeo-cristiana la storia della salvezza è essenzialmente storia
20:27di migrazione grazie
20:46sometimes obviously politics can be a cynical activity
20:59we do it from a slightly different point of view in that we do believe that we're trying
21:04to do god's work as an expression of our faith and of our commitment to christian values
21:10not just a pursuit of national interest or promoting the economic prosperity of a country
21:18which is obviously what governments and politicians are obliged to do
21:28the catholic faith binds all those who work in the vatican
21:36everyone from the pope to the caretakers see their day-to-day duties as a vocation in
21:42the service of god at the heart of that faith is st peter's basilica
22:04the san pietrini are a team of skilled craftsmen who are responsible for the upkeep of this
22:10the most important church in the catholic world
22:33these men see themselves as the heirs to the craftsmen who built saint peter's
22:40school
22:41there is never a confidence
22:42it is like a work that is done every day
22:45there is a school
22:48there is a school
22:49it is like a real and own school
22:51it is like a real school
22:55it is beautiful to find these new generations
22:58we have almost 50 years
23:00actually
23:01yes
23:01thanks
23:01we would be happy
23:05every day
23:06there is a lot of work
23:07we serve our various works
23:11ourselves
23:12in size
23:12each
23:14all
23:15sides
23:22of all the jobs the san pietrini do to get some peter's basilica ready for easter
23:29Today's is the most demanding and prized.
23:57They must clean the Baldacchino, the huge ornamental canopy above the altar.
24:47When I first joined the choir, Maestro Palombella asked me to sing the Credo, and it starts
24:57which means, I believe in one God. Not we believe in one God, I believe in one God.
25:07More people have heard me sing that than anyone else, because I've been singing it
25:15at every Papal Mass for three years, and it's broadcast live across the world.
25:24But I get back home and I think, everyone has heard me sing that. Is it true?
25:33I don't know. And sometimes I feel like a fraud.
25:39I've just declared the beginning of the Nicene Creed in front of the Pope.
25:45Surely I should be sure of what I'm saying.
25:51Sometimes I know what it means when I sing that, and sometimes I don't.
26:16The Vatican Gardeners also have a key role to play in the Easter preparations.
26:25All right, we're doing a tour to see if everything is in place.
26:34So we're doing a control of the trees, because there may be some branch that has broken,
26:40or there may be some trees that are in difficulty.
26:50We've prepared some olive branches to make the St. Pietro's St. Pietro's St. Pietro's St.
26:55So we're selecting a couple of measurements
26:58and to make a little more practical work
27:01to create these buildings.
27:08Well, Easter Week, of course, is particularly busy,
27:11because you've got to keep the office running as normal,
27:13and the world doesn't stop because it's just Easter,
27:16and we're, after all, dealing with relations between states,
27:19and we're dealing with politics and diplomacy.
27:21And on top of that, we have, then, the ceremonies of Easter Week.
27:27The ceremonies will begin with Palm Sunday.
27:31Now we're taking the flowers to add up to the basilica of St. Pietro's St.
27:38Now we're taking these flowers to add up to the basilica of St. Pietro's St.
27:41And we're taking these flowers, just this group,
27:42because, unlike the other, these flowers,
27:48do less yellow.
28:00These are the dispositions for the Domenica delle Palme.
28:04Okay.
28:05These are all the requests of access,
28:07the types of tickets that will be used.
28:10Okay.
28:11The refettura of the Pontificia.
28:12The list of participants, okay?
28:14Okay, we're here.
28:16The Vatican police force expect 80,000 visitors
28:19to arrive for the Easter celebrations.
28:23And they've learned to prepare for the worst.
28:27A terrible quiet fell on the thousands
28:29who were gathered at St. Peter's Square at the Vatican today.
28:3210,000 or more had come to receive the blessing of Pope John Paul.
28:36Instead, amongst the cheering and the peal of bells
28:39announcing the arrival of the Pope, they heard gunfire.
28:42Pope John Paul II had been shot.
28:49In a period when terrorism, especially international,
28:54was growing up and growing up,
28:58and it's not possible that the Pope could be a target,
29:03like the Vatican.
29:05So this, I take the tickets.
29:09With Marco, he takes care of...
29:11Also this, come on.
29:13With Marco, he takes care of the colonization.
29:18This is a map that represents the center of Rome
29:22with the various extraterritorial areas,
29:24because this contrasting to the red color
29:26is the perimeter of the state.
29:34Under the Vatican State,
29:36there is a network of tunnels and passageways.
30:04One, to leave freedom to the pontifices,
30:07and two, to transmit security
30:08to those who will come visit the Vatican.
30:13The Vatican has an extension of 44 hectares,
30:17so, well or well, we have the same perimeter.
30:22So we will go around
30:23to 20-25 km of tunnels that are across the Vatican.
30:30We have to ensure that we have to pass a nice serene day,
30:35to be able to return home with something beautiful.
30:40I think that is also our mission.
30:42What he wants is Pope Francis.
30:44God, the Catholic Christian Church is a resource for the resurrection
30:48of the Vatican.
30:48www.ppasco.org
30:48The Church of Jesus is a church and a church and a church of all Eve.
30:50Yes, you can, yes.
30:55Please, please.
30:56The Church of Jesus is a church.
30:56Good night.
30:56We are offering this angelus
30:59to prepare them all to the Passover,
31:02but already close to them.
31:03A twelve o'clock bell stops work
31:06in every office in the Vatican
31:08for the Angelus midday prayer.
31:11Many times are in the middle-ofs
31:11of faith and service.
31:18Today, in the Department of Communication, the new media team perform an essential task,
31:25conveying the Pope's message to the world.
31:29What I found is that when you share a Twitter post from, at Pontifex, on Facebook, it actually
31:37goes quite well.
31:38People comment on it, they share it, and it's shared around quite a bit.
31:42but whenever we share Instagram posts on Facebook,
31:47even though they're owned by the same company,
31:50they don't get out there as much.
32:12Sometimes we just laugh because there are people who are referring to the Pope,
32:20I pray for you, do not be asked tomorrow.
32:25Because it's interesting that there are many followers who say they're not believers.
32:31In fact, there's someone who once said,
32:34Why am I following you? I don't even believe in God.
32:38For Easter, Palm Sunday, our main goal is to follow the activities of the Pope.
32:44So we're going to follow, obviously, his main events,
32:48share our journalistic productions and articles on the different Masses and liturgies,
32:54and also videos.
33:00Well, now they're doing the tests, so tomorrow it's going to be all free.
33:04Well, we're going to verify that with the help of your colleagues,
33:08we're going to verify that here the journalists don't position anything.
33:16The Facebook channel on Instagram is a kind of,
33:21we could call it a family album, a photographic album,
33:24that accompanies the most significant moments of his work day by day.
33:32For us, the photos with the biggest feedback
33:37are exactly the ones where the Pope does the Pope,
33:41the Pastore.
33:43If I give an example, one would say,
33:47well, a photo where the Pope does the Pope play a ball, fantastic.
33:51No, it's a lot less like that a photo where the Pope does the Pope pray.
34:15The beauty is, we're getting the photos and the photo galleries out there much faster,
34:19and people, I mean, from what we see from the traffic,
34:20really like photos.
34:22I like photos, you know.
34:25There was nothing, nothing dangerous.
34:28Nothing under control, everything under control.
34:31You're perfect.
34:45The Palm Sunday celebration will take place in St. Peter's Square, where the San Pietrini
34:51are hanging ceremonial tapestries in front of the Basilica.
34:54Oh, give me the cord, give me the cord!
34:58They are attached to San Michele Arcangelo and to San Giuseppe.
35:02For the ceremony we start from Sunday 25 with the palms and then they will come back up until Santa
35:08Pasqua.
35:08We will come back on Wednesday and Wednesday.
35:11Are you always involved?
35:12Always, this is just one of the two weeks super involved.
35:16Thank you, thank you.
35:18Get out now.
35:22Get out now, go!
35:23Come continue!
35:24Continue, continue, continue.
35:26Tira tu, tira tu, tira tu.
35:30Te la fai nel cermento a tirarlo del qua?
35:34Bene.
35:36È il suo.
35:38Va bene, va bene.
35:44Quindi la forma più o meno che si presenta in tutte le...
35:49in tutti questi puffi, chiamamolo puffi, sono più o meno uguali.
35:52Si crea più o meno una forma tipo a cupola.
35:56Ci vuole un po' di tempo perché bisogna seguire un po' lo schema, diciamo, della votatura
36:01e poi alla fine deve uscirne, non dico preciso, ma quasi.
36:06Allora, sto votando, sto togliendo il superfluo, come Michelangelo quando...
36:12Ma è Michelangelo dei giardini?
36:15Diciamo un po' di sì.
36:22E' un po' di sì, che si è scenduto.
36:42Ci sono state, un po' di sì.
36:43Alcuna è spazzita, ma è una condanna.
36:44Ci sono state, un po' di sì.
36:45E' un po' di sì.
36:46E' un po' di sì.
36:49Ma è un po' di sì.
36:50Un po' di sì.
36:51È un po' di sì.
36:52Life goes on in the privacy of the Apostolic Palace.
36:59Here you have the door of the Sistine Chapel.
37:01You can hear people visiting the Sistine Chapel right now.
37:10Tourists have access to the Sistine Chapel,
37:13but they don't have access to this room nor to this other room,
37:17from the Sala Ducale, nor to the Chapel La Paulina.
37:23I like coming here to pray at the Chapel Paulina.
37:28And it's a place that witnessed so many different things.
37:32It's a place where many different folks came to pray too.
37:45Work and prayer.
37:46We need it. We really need it.
37:52It's all part of the same vocation.
37:56That strive to unite action and contemplation.
38:13Although he lives only metres from St Peter's Basilica,
38:17Archbishop Gallagher prays mostly in his chapel at home.
38:22So it's a small, modernised chapel.
38:29Being in this chapel means that I, every day,
38:34do the same thing that I have been doing for the last 45, even 50 years.
38:42Mass, mass, prayer, silence.
38:47Ultimately, you have to be anchored in that.
38:57It's like a breeze for us.
39:00It's like a breeze for the soul.
39:02So that's why prayer life is indispensable for us.
39:14I feel that the church is most present when there are just a small group of very ordinary Catholics celebrating
39:23a mass.
39:24Because, to me, that is as much the church as Easter Sunday, the Urbi at Orbi in St Peter's Square.
39:36For your life, action, work, go all together.
39:40There.
40:11It's a church of faith and Catholic faith.
40:14Of course, for a Christian,
40:17being part of this world
40:19is almost a achievement of its own objectives.
40:22It's something fantastic.
40:29It's an inspection to any object
40:32that could hide an ordinate,
40:36to control the doors if they are open.
40:41Anything that could lead to safety...
40:52At this moment,
40:54the inspection is finished under the columns,
40:56under the ground.
40:57We have taken possession of the street.
40:59We will take the last indications
41:01and then we will send our staff
41:04on the Piazza San Pietro
41:07to the border with Italy.
41:09In a similar ceremony,
41:11we are going to use around 70-80 units.
41:43Good morning.
41:44Good morning.
41:45Good morning.
41:46So, welcome to the first service outside
41:48that we do in the Vatican.
41:50It's a massive service.
41:52It will be thousands of people in the piazza.
41:55It will be absolutely freezing cold,
41:57but it's not too bad a day today.
41:59In the past,
42:00it's been pouring with rain
42:02and winding
42:03and everyone's having their umbrellas,
42:05but actually today is a beautiful day,
42:06so it should be absolutely glorious outside.
42:09Yes, enjoy.
42:10Let's give it now.
42:26After finishing touches by the gardeners,
42:29the square is ready.
42:50Behind the scenes,
42:51in a room above the basilica,
42:52a group of people are preparing for a crucial job.
43:00Palm Sunday is a particularly high point
43:03in the church's liturgical life
43:07because it's the opening to the most holy week
43:12in all of the Christian year.
43:15So when I come into the booth,
43:18I have all of that going on in my mind.
43:26These are the interpreters,
43:28who will simultaneously translate
43:30Pope Francis's Palm Sunday address
43:32to millions of Catholics throughout the world.
43:37Our work as interpreters,
43:39I like to compare it to a musician.
43:42I'm interpreting someone else's music.
43:48Interpreting Pope Francis is at times difficult
43:51because Italian is his second language.
43:53So I have found that I've had to stop myself short at times
43:55because he's mistaken one word in Italian for another,
43:59just if I do at times.
44:01All of us who have Italian as a second language understand that.
44:05However, he speaks Italian slowly.
44:07He's a very, the only way I can put it, he's very hands-on.
44:11And so he's speaking directly to people, heart to heart.
44:16And so his cadence is a bit slower.
44:20And at those moments, we're getting to know the person behind the office.
44:24Yes.
44:25Yes.
44:26Yes.
44:37Yes.
44:39Yes.
44:41Yes.
44:42Yes.
44:43Some points.
44:46Yes.
44:49Yes.
44:51Yes.
45:03There's always a focus from the media when it comes to Easter.
45:08It's a time when the Vatican is on public display.
45:15The papacy is all about symbols, and it's about decoding those symbols.
45:25So it's an important moment to watch carefully in terms of what the Pope is saying, what he's
45:32doing, and you have to try and give a sense of the entirety of this show, as it were.
45:43Jesus enters in Jerusalem, the omnipotent of the earth, and you tell us about these rami.
45:52Almighty ever-living God, sanctify these branches with your blessing, that we who follow Christ
45:59the King in exaltation may reach the eternal Jerusalem through him.
46:07Amen.
46:08And here we see the vestments which were given to our Holy Father by Pakistani refugees.
46:16This man was the Son of God in the presider's chair, and we will continue with the liturgy
46:28of Palm Sunday, the passion of our Lord.
46:36These images, and others like them, are broadcast to 1.3 billion Catholics around the world.
46:45Where Pope Francis takes center stage, in the Catholic world's biggest theatre of faith.
47:05Pope Francis meets the pilgrims in St. Peter's Square.
47:06As the ceremony comes to an end, Pope Francis meets the pilgrims in St. Peter's Square.
47:30Pope Francis meets the pilgrims in St. Peter's Square.
47:47Pope Francis and the pilgrims in St. Peter's Square.
48:25inside the Vatican the early hours of the 2nd of October 1971 are amongst the
48:32most important moments of my life I decided to be a priest the diocese accept
48:40me and they sent me to Rome which was a bit of a surprise a different world a
48:45different culture language traditions and whatever happened to me after that my
48:51life would never have been that would never be the same again and I knew that
48:54that's when your Christian faith begins to mature it becomes less of a an idea
48:59but something that is a lived reality in your life with which you have to also
49:03struggle loneliness is obviously there are moments when as we all have when it
49:12would be nice to have somebody to talk to about something and that the person is
49:17not on tap at that moment but I think that happens to everybody
49:37the Pope is coming to Regina Chaley prison to wash the feet of inmates a very personal Easter ritual
49:47he's accompanied by Archbishop Angelo Beccio
49:51a question that I asked him while he was in the car and she had always had a passion for
49:58the
49:58murderers because I personally have just said that I never felt
50:05taken from this environment to visit the hospitals, the sick, the sick, the poveress but with the
50:11murderers I always felt a little reticente
50:23he told me that he had always told me that he had a young priest, he continued to go to
50:30the
50:30hospital and Archbishop and Archbishop in Buenos Aires he told me in the morning
50:36I celebrated with cardinali, vescovi and sacerdotes but in the evening I go to a
50:42hospital, he went to the hospital.
50:51We were both out here and in the���re has no house we had all two
50:56Woah, when we left there we did not go to the hospital
51:05We were brothers who are 12 and then I was on the third place we kept running the shop
51:12I was close to me a Colombian working worker.
51:16I told him that he was the Pope.
51:23He said yes, do you see that the Pope is facing us?
51:27Yes, but we didn't have the Pope or he didn't have the Pope or the Pope.
51:30He said yes, he was there.
51:33I was still there and not believed him.
51:51I was at work and I told him that he was joking.
51:57He said no, I was almost dead.
52:02I was still there for a month.
52:06I had some envy.
52:08I saw that I was Muslim.
52:11Maybe someone else would say yes, yes, yes.
52:22The most impact me is my emotions.
52:28I see the reaction of the incarcerated.
52:32I don't know what they have done, but they have done something bad.
52:37They have done something bad.
52:39So those feet that are going to hurt,
52:42now they are kissed by the Pope.
52:46The most known man of the earth.
52:48Also, I am with her our loved ones,
53:09and it will hurt people because they are formed.
53:14I think it's not necessary.
53:18for Pope Francis and millions of people around the world.
53:48No, no, vabbè, è normale, non ti preoccupare, non ti sei nemmeno riscaldato.
53:55Supermontestabont...stabant...stabant...stabant...acque.
54:03Supermontestabont...supermontestabant...acque.
54:05Bravissimo. Poi il...
54:11Tanto per fortuna non lo devi cantare di mattina.
54:13Eh, treno va!
54:16Non è Puccini.
54:18Purtroppo.
54:26If you ask me if I believe in God, my reply is, I don't understand the question.
54:34What do you mean by God?
54:37The way the Catholic Church is...
54:40I mean, these are massive questions.
54:42I'm a baritone, what do I know?
54:44Well, I...what do I know when I tell you what I know?
54:47I know that when I...when I am immersed in this music,
54:53I feel in touch with something.
54:57Qui simul meum contri stare.
55:04Contri stare tur, contrestariti.
55:07Contri stare tur.
55:32After all the darkness of the East
55:37the week and the suffering of Christ.
55:41Saturday is the big Easter vigil and actually Saturday night is more important than Sunday
55:48morning.
55:51It starts in total darkness and then one candle is lit.
56:00From that candle another candle is lit.
56:04And then the candles are lit all the way through the basilica.
56:09And then suddenly there is this massive outpouring of noise and light and that is the moment that
56:25marks the resurrection and Jesus has risen.
56:51I am inside the Vatican.
56:57And I am singing for the Pope and I am singing some of the most beautiful music.
57:02And at those points I glimpse something of the transcendent.
57:31Fratelli e sorelle, non è qui, è risorto.
57:36E ti aspetta in Galilea, ti invita a tornare al tempo e al luogo del primo amore per dirte,
57:46non avere paura.
57:50Seguimi.
58:08Fare le riforme a Roma è come pulire la sfince di Egitto con uno spazzolino da denti.
58:23It's very clear to be a cardinal, to be out in the front line, being ready to give your
58:28life.
58:33And you can see that next Friday, same time, nine o'clock.
58:37Filmmaker Comma Riley meets people across Scotland who passionately believe that the earth is
58:42flat.
58:43That's on BBC iPlayer.
58:45And time for a quick experiment.
58:46Are left-handed or right-handed people a bit quicker?
58:50We'll find out.
58:51New QI follows next.
58:52New QI follows next.
