I already knew him personally from the time of the Council because during their stay in Rome the Argentine and Polish bishops had had meetings together in Via delle Botteghe Oscure, at the Poles’ church. I remember that once, during the preparatory meetings for a synod, we had to go to the Vatican for an audience.
Personalmente lo conocía desde los años del Concilio, porque durante la estancia en Roma los obispos argentinos y los polacos mantuvimos algunas reuniones en la calle de Botteghe Oscure, en la iglesia de los polacos. Recuerdo que una vez, durante las reuniones preparatorias de un sínodo, teníamos que ir a una audiencia en el Vaticano.
