The Secretary of State has called for an in-depth inquiry into all Holy See entities, with no exception. The criminal investigation is to be carried out by the Promoter of Justice of the Vatican Tribunal, while a separate administrative investigation will be carried out by the Secretariat of State itself. The Pope put an ad hoc commission in charge of shedding light on the affair. This was announced by the deputy Secretary of State, Mgr. Angelo Becciu, in an interview with Giovanni Maria Vian, director of the Vatican daily broadsheet L’Osservatore Romano.
The archbishop condemned the “disloyalty” and “cowardice” of those who leaked the documents and took advantage of their “privileged position” to publish documents “whose privacy they had an obligation to respect.”
