Statue of St. Peter in Rome
Holy Writ tells us that all things were created by God with number, weight, and measure. In effect, we see that nature, movement, and mass are proportional in all bodies.
An immense, most rich and beautiful organization, the Catholic Church is personified, par excellance, in the person of the Pope.

But, at the same time, it is touching that the Catholic Church is also personified by a humble village priest. This personification is more proportional to the people of the country, on par with their souls, and neither intimidates nor constrains them. In these village priests exists a kind of small edition of the Priesthood of Our Lord, more proportional to that people which is also small.

Proportion can be contemplated even in relation to beverages. Alongside the most refined wines, there exist good popular beverages, made precisely for the lesser people.
