violations of the privacy and dignity of the Holy Father - both as an
individual an as the supreme authority of the Church and of Vatican City State
- and will take the steps
necessary to ensure that those responsible for the theft, handling and release
of secret information, and the commercial use of private documentation,
illegitimately acquired and held, answer to justice for their acts. To this
end it will, if necessary,
request international collaboration".
