   COMMUNIQUE CONCERNING DOCUMENTS PUBLISHED BY WIKILEAKS   
      
   VATICAN CITY, 11 DEC 2010 (VIS) - The Holy See Press Office today released the   
   following communique on the subject of U.S. State Department documents   
   published by the website Wikileaks.   
      
   "Without venturing to evaluate the extreme seriousness of publishing such a   
   large amount of secret and confidential material, and its possible   
   consequences, the Holy See Press Office observes that part of the documents   
   published recently by Wikileaks concerns reports sent to the U.S. State   
   Department by the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See.   
      
   "Naturally these reports reflect the perceptions and opinions of the people who   
   wrote them and cannot be considered as expressions of the Holy See itself, nor   
   as exact quotations of the words of its officials. Their reliability must,   
   then, be evaluated carefully and with great prudence, bearing this circumstance   
   in mind".
