VATICAN CITY

(Vatican Radio) The Vatican’s Secretary of State said the “Vatileaks” case has caused a “heavy atmosphere,” and called some press reports on the case “very emotional, if not hysterical.”
“I do not believe these polemics can create a tranquil atmosphere,” Cardinal Pietro Parolin told Vatican Radio.
“Indeed, it creates a heavy atmosphere,” he said. “If we look at press, we see unreasonable attacks with little meaning, that are ill-conceived and very emotional, if not hysterical.”
However, Cardinal Parolin said “God can write straight with crooked lines,” and said although the leaking of Vatican documents is “an attack on the Church,” the situation can be “turned to the good” if welcomed with a “spirit of conversion.”
