Among the documents that have gotten out of the Vatican are two that are an embarrassment to the “UN of Trastevere” and the superior general of the Society of Jesus. To the advantage of two cardinals: the American George and the Dutch Eijk

VATICAN CITY, June 7, 2012 – The disappearance of confidential documents from the Vatican continues without pause. And no one can predict how long it will continue.

The quantity of missing documents is certainly significant, and seems to concern almost exclusively the papers kept in the Apostolic Palace, the heart of the Roman curia, the building overlooking Saint Peter’s Square that is the residence of Benedict XVI and his personal secretary, Georg Gänswein, in which the secretariat of state has its offices and in which secretary of state Tarcisio Bertone has his residence and office.

As of today, in fact, almost none of the documents published in various waves seems to have been stolen directly from other dicasteries or offices of the Holy See. Almost always, the papers addressed to these offices have been served up to the public only after they have passed through the Apostolic Palace.
