Giuseppe Germano Bernardini

Giuseppe Germano Bernardini (27 September 1928 – 3 December 2023) was an Italian prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Izmir.

• The Christian cannot be pessimistic because Christ is Risen and Alive; He is God, as opposed to all other prophets or those calling themselves such. The final victory will be Christ's, but God's times may be long, and often are. He is patient and waits for the conversion of sinners: in the meantime He invites the Church to organize herself and to work to quicken the coming of His Kingdom.
