The new fashion in Rome is to ask the Pope for an autograph

For a few weeks, many people have asked the Pope to sign photographs, blessings or books for them during the general audience. And he accepts.  

This priest is one of those who made it. The Pope signed the doctoral thesis that he had just presented, after six years studying in Rome.

P. JOBY JOSE
“It is a special moment for two reasons. I have been doing my doctorate in Rome for six years and yesterday I defended my thesis. They called me “summa cum laude”. Today I have shown the text to the Pope and he has signed my thesis. It gave me a lot of joy ”.

Now the priest Joby José will return to India with this memory of his stay in Rome: the signature of the Pope. 

Domenico Lazzarotto also got the Pope to sign the novel that he himself just published. It is titled “If you have faith.” It is the story of how a priest reconciled and held people together after World War II.  

DOMENICO LAZZAROTTO
“He has put his signature on me. It is the most important signature they have given me in my life. He also blessed me, and that is good even for one like me who is not a very believer. But this meeting has transformed me humanly, and also spiritually ”.

Domenico Lazzarotto had traveled from Venice just to see Pope Francis. And he says it was worth it.

DOMENICO LAZZAROTTO
“This Pope captivates me beyond the spiritual sense. He is a personality that has led me to personally rediscover a bit of faith ”.

His book now includes a full page with the iconic signature of Pope Francis – sure to catch the eye of many of your readers.
