Boston Cardinal Seán O’Malley, a key advisor to Pope Francis, was featured in a lengthy interview on the U.S. television program 60 Minutes Sunday night.
The interview covered a wide range of topics: from O’Malley’s relationship with the pope, to his feelings about the Vatican’s investigations of U.S. women religious, to his thoughts on the possibility of women’s ordination to the priesthood.
One revelation? O’Malley and the pope regularly communicate via fax.
“Usually … we fax,” O’Malley told CBS’ Norah O’Donnell. That method, he said, is “very quick and efficient.”
That prompted O’Donnell to respond: “Most people think texting is quicker than faxing.”
