The Pope will meet with the three-man commission of inquiry into the Vatileaks affair at the beginning of next week. The Pope will thank them for the work they have done for the good of the Church and could remove the pontifical secrecy status from their report so that cardinals can examine it during the Conclave.
The investigation report prepared by the three “wise men” (the over-eighy-year-old cardinals Julian Herranz, Jozef Tomko e Salvatore De Giorgi) is proof that that filth Joseph Ratzinger talked about in his famous Goof Friday speech in 2005, does indeed exist. Filth which the Pope was not able to fully get rid of and which is even present within the Roman Curia, as demonstrated by the theft of Benedict XVI’s confidential letters from the papal apartment.
Speaking to Radio 24, Herranz said: “The Pope is the only person we have reported to on this question. Of course there was talk of this being the reason for the Pope’s resignation but I believe we must respect people’s individual conscience. An individual’s conscience is a sacred part of every man; decisions are made deep within one’s conscience and as such they should be respected.”
