year = {2005},
note = {In his long diplomatic service of the Holy See around the world the
author experienced Pope John Paul II. as Pontifex Massmediaticus.
Never before was a pope more in the media glare than John Paul, never
did a pope use the media as effectively to convey his message. For his
success the following characteritics were imperative: his sociable and
warm manners, his multilinguality, his comforting gestures and his
interest in cultural diversity. Last but not least, he also had one
important communicative idiosyncracy: to follow the logic and
modalities of the bible which are not exactly those of the massmedia.},
