Hence, he chooses a simple and small transportation mean. It seems to me that it is very wonderful. Maybe it is not here but in the US there is a huge caravan of vehicles with security officers, large and huge powerful armored vehicles, and a small car follows. People say, “Here is the Pope’s car,” – said Father Federico Lombardi.
