Santo Domingo.- President Danilo Medina said Sunday that he “spoke about everything” with Pope Francis, who received him in a private meeting at the Vatican.

“We spoke about many things. We spoke about everything,” he said when asked if he discussed with the Pontiff the pedophilia cases linked to catholic prelates in the country, specifically former Vatican envoy, bishop Jozef Wesolowski.

Medina’s statement again reveals his now habitual stance of shying away from controversial topics and cases of government corruption.
