The Vatican secretary of state said his prayer for Donald J Trump is that God would grant him wisdom “because that is the main virtue of those who govern according to the Bible.”
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the secretary of state, spoke briefly to reporters 7 November outside Rome’s Pontifical Gregorian University.
Asked about Trump’s victory 5 November and looking toward his second term as president, Cardinal Parolin said, “I think he has to work above all to be president of the whole country and therefore overcome the polarization that has occurred and is very evident.”
As for Trump’s repeated vow to “launch the largest deportation program in American history” and to severely limit all immigration, Cardinal Parolin said the Vatican supports a comprehensive and “wise policy toward migrants so that it does not go to these extremes.”
