“I said, ‘Did you watch the movie Conclave so you know how to behave?’” John recalled in an interview with NBC Chicago. “And, he had just finished watching the movie Conclave. So, he knew how to behave.”
“I wanted to take his mind off of it,” he added. “You know, laugh about something because this is now an awesome responsibility.”
And all jokes aside, John expressed that he has full faith that his brother will honor his new responsibilities while implementing “middle of the road” policies.
“The best way I could describe him right now is that he will be following in Francis’ footsteps,” he told the New York Times. “They were very good friends. They knew each other before he was pope, before my brother even was bishop.”
