Vatican City, 6 March (AKI) – The Vatican on Wednesday declined to comment on the cancellation Wednesday by US cardinals gathered in Rome of their daily pre-conclave press-conference.

“It’s not up to me to tell the cardinals how they should behave, “said Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi.

“The College of Cardinals is imposing on itself an increasing degree of reserve as they attend pre-conclave meetings,” he added.

Until Wednesday, the US cardinals gathered in Rome for meetings ahead of this month’s papal election had been holding daily media conferences in Rome at the Pontifical North American College located near the Vatican.
