| His Holiness embraces Msgr. Guido Marini with profound affection at WYD 2013 |
Much ink was, and is being spilt over the alleged "strained" (let us call it that) relationship between His Holiness and Msgr. Marini. Here, I present a number of screenshots taken over the past few days of Pope Francis with Msgr. Marini manifesting anything but a "strained" relationship, but rather a deep friendship and affection, as one might see between a Catholic father and his loyal son. Any further commentary would be unnecessary.

I have been for some time an ardent admirer of Msgr. Marini. His expert and reverent direction of the holy liturgies is both beautiful and inspirational. I am happy to see that he and our beloved Pope Francis are happy working together. May this joint endeavor endure for many years to come.
