“Msgr Lebeaupin wasn’t only a loyal servant to the Holy See and to the successor of St Peter, but also a humble and true disciple of Christ. His unshakable faith, joviality and authentic humaneness shall be greatly missed”, stated Card. Hollerich, while offering condolences to the family and friends of the former Apostolic Nuncio to the European Union.
