The homily caused controversy and different interpretations. It was described as "gelid" by Il Fatto Quotidiano, [18] while the Corriere della Sera described it as "a perfect portrait, devoid of any hypocrisy", saying that it was deeply appreciated by Berlusconi's family, [19] and Il Foglio called it "a great homily".
