In his autobiography, the Pope details this moment with great honesty, saying: “During the seminar I experienced a small love. It was inevitable, it is part of being human. In a wedding, I saw a girl who made me impressed. ” This experience led him to doubt his vocation for several days, when his devotion was affected.
The impact of love on your life
In addition to this experience, the Pope also recalls his first love, Amalia Damonte, with whom he shared significant moments of his childhood. In a fun letter, he promised: “If I do not marry you, I will make chaplain.” These anecdotes illustrate how love has been a constant in his life, despite the fact that his religious vocation prevailed.
