Vatican City – Catholic cardinals on Monday pressed for more information about the “Vatileaks” scandal at the start of a series of Vatican meetings to prepare for a conclave to elect a new pope after Benedict XVI’s sudden resignation.
“If we’re going to make a good decision, I’m sure we’ll have to have some information on that,” South African Cardinal Wilfrid Napier told reporters on the sidelines of the meetings.
Asked whether there would have to be a reform of the Roman Curia, the central government of the Catholic Church, Napier said: “That naturally is going to come into the picture as well.”
French Cardinal Philippe Barbarin said: “We want to know what’s going on inside the Vatican, which has been a bit knocked about in recent years.”
