Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Christianism and Catholicism or a wider ReligionTopic, focused on the personality of Uruguayan Cardinal Daniel Sturla and also on the one of the Pope Francis, Jorge Maria Bergolio from Argentina, as he was the Popewhich created Daniel Fernando Sturla Berhouet, the Cardinal of Santa Galla, while being the Archbishop of Montevideo, and having been previously Bishop of Phelbes in Egypt. This adding to Popes, Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops, or a Wider Catholic TitlesTopics to this release.

Then, these two Personalitiesrelates this issue with other Congregationsand Personalitiesfrom the Catholic Church. Fom the Cardinal Daniel Sturla, the Salesians of Don Bosco, or the Salesian Society, officially named the Society of Saint Francis de Sales, a Roman Catholic Religious Institute founded in the late nineteenth centuryby Saint John Boscoin order to help the young and poor children through charity in the Industrial Revolution, and with this Society the Personalities of Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco, popularly known as Don Bosco, and François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva. Then, from Pope Francis, The Society of Jesus, a male Religious Congregation of the Catholic Church, founded by Ignatius of Loyolain 1540, whose members are called Jesuits, and the personality of Saint Francis of Assisi, or San Francesco d'Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, but nicknamed Francesco.

Then, looking more at the desing of the Issue, although the focus of it is clearly in the Personalitiesof Cardinal Daniel Sturla andPope Francis, a lot of other topics arises.

From the Stamp, only the Typical Costumesof both Popesand CardinalsCatholic Titlesappears, with the addition of the minor ones Hats, and Glasses too.

However, it is in both Blocksthat many of very popular Topics are shown. First, in the background it is seen the Projectfrom Gian Lorenzo Bernini, an Italian Artist and a prominent Architect, for the construction of the St. Peter's Square, or Piazza San Pietro, a massive Plazalocated directly in front of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City, the Papal enclave inside Rome. Then, over this Project, besides the stamps, also the Coat of Arms of Cardinal Daniel Sturla is put in both Blocks, and also makes up most of the Postmarkfor the First Day Cancelation.

The Coat of Armsof Cardinal Daniel Sturla, besides adding Coat of Arms Topic, it also includes many other Topics because of the Items of which is composed. This topics are: Lighthouses, and Navigational Aids, as it inculdes the Hill of Montevideo with his traditional Lighthouse on his Fortress. Then, also Birds, in particular the Hornero, a brown bird with rather short tails and fairly long bills, that are known for building mud nests that resemble old wood-fired ovens, and that particulary gives his name, as the Spanish word "hornero" comes from "horno" that means "oven". And finally the Cross in the left side refers to the one erected for the First visit to Uruguayin 1987 of the former Pope Saint John Paul II, born Karol Józef Wojtyła.
