By the time he died, less than five years later, he was one of the best-loved men in the world. The son of simple peasants who worked a stony tenant farm in a northern Italian village, the man born Angelo Roncalli and destined for sainthood as Pope John XXIII never forgot his humble beginnings nor lost his innate love of humanity. He was a brother to all men, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, and was revered by men of every faith and philosophy. . . .We see the peasant wit and humor that endeared him to all who met him, the simple faith and goodness that prevailed over adversity and inspired men to come together in search of peace. We come to know Pope John and his towering spirit; through him we see the church growing, sometimes painfully, and we see the world as a slightly less forbidding place.""
