The machine of justice is hard at work in the Holy See to dispel all doubts surrounding the Vatileaks scandal. “Justice needs to be done with humility and truthfulness,” said the Vatican Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone, during the opening of the Judicial Year, celebrated in the Vatican City. Present at the inaugural ceremony were a number of figures who played key roles in last autumn’s trials against the Pope’s former butler, Paolo Gabriele and Vatican IT technician, Claudio Sciarpelletti (both of whom were recently pardoned by the Pope): President Giuseppe dalla Torre, associate judges Marano and Pellettier, investigating judge Piero Antonio Bonnet and lawyers Cristina Arrù (who defended Paolo Gabriele) and Gianluca Benedetti (Sciarpelletti’s lawyer).
During the ceremony, the Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone, urged faithful to “desist from self-promotion”. He criticised people’s desire to “show off” and suggested faithful should deflate their ego and allow their love for Jesus to grow in them and in others.
