Benedict XVI made an honorary citizen of Introd.
Beginning today, Benedict XVI is an honorary citizen of the town of Introd, in the district of Valle d'Aosta, Italy, where in recent years he has spent part of his summer vacation. With this act, the mayor of Introd stated, the local community wishes to express its deep recognition and the genuine bond that has been established with the Popes, thanks first to the presence of John Paul II and now Benedict XVI. For his part, Benedict XVI said that he was pleased with the growth in the faith of the people of the Valley, thanks to the stay of the Popes in recent years. The Christian proclamation is urgent in a society that feeds illusions and false hopes, especially among the younger generations, noted Benedict XVI, but the Lord still calls us to be transformed into the family of the children of God.
