Thefollowingstoryisbasedonthefirst interviewevergiventoanewsserviceby CountGiuseppeDallaTorre,editorofthe VaticanCitydaily,L'OsservatoreRomano, duringfivepontificates.

ThatthenewPopemaybeexpectedtohavea decisivevoiceinthesolutionoftheseproblems,Count dallaTorresaid,ispartiallyindicatedbythegrowing prestigeofthepapacyasshownbyworldreactionto thedeathofPiusXIIandtheelectionofhissuccessor. TheCountsaid:

"Therearemanysignswhichmakeitevidentthat theRomanpontificatehasreachedexceptionalprestige.Armingtheseaboveall,werethecondolences expressedafterthedeathofPiusXIIandthewelcomeoftheelectionofJohnXXIII."

CountDallaTorretracedthehistoryofthisgrowingprestigethroughthefourpontificateswhichprecededthatofPopeJohnXXIII.
