Quotes 

• Lenny Belardo : Pius XIII appears and so do his beautiful blue-eyes... and this soft, round mouth. A dazzling image, so dazzling it blinds people. In other words, a powerful, an evocative image, not unlike that of Christ. But Pius XIII doesn't merely dazzle, he offers reassurance as well. With a magnificent speech, full of quotations in Latin, it tells them that they, the faithful, must not be afraid. And how could they be afraid, with a Pope as handsome and reassuring as Christ?

• Italian Prime Minister : But in that case why... Why haven't you appeared in public yet?

  Lenny Belardo : Because there's still no need.

• Italian Prime Minister : Are you asleep, Holy Father?

  Lenny Belardo : No, Mr. Prime Minister. I'm praying for you.

  Italian Prime Minister : That's very thoughtful of you. And thanks very much for giving me this audience after just nine months.

  Lenny Belardo : I didn't think you'd be running the country this long. I said to myself: "Why bother?"
