The Register (United Kingdom)

The Pope’s top PR man has declared that the Vatican is in the midst of its own “WikiLeaks” scandal after a flurry of confidential Papal documents were fed to the media by apparently disgruntled cardinals.
The leaks have ranged from documents covering allegedly murky operations at the Vatican bank, to an investigation into a Cardinal’s apparent certainty that the pope will be bumped off by November this year.
