HOLY SEE PRESS OFFICE DIRECTOR: THIS IS THE MOMENT FOR FULL SOLIDARITY WITH
THE POPE
Vatican City, 31 May 2012 (VIS) - Yesterday, Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J.,
director of the Holy See Press Office, held a meeting with journalist to
answer questions on the publication of reserved Vatican documents, an act for
which the Pope's personal
assistant has been arrested.
Regarding the questions on the pope's possible resignation, a hypothesis
maintained by various media outlets, Fr. Lombardi affirmed that those were
baseless creations of some journalists, which have no foundation in reality.
The Curia has expressed its
solidarity with the pontiff and continues to work in full communion with the
Successor of Peter: "This is precisely the moment in which to demonstrate
esteem and appreciation for the Holy Father and the service he carries out; to
show full solidarity
with him and thus, to demonstrate communion, unity, and coherence with how
this situation is dealt with".
Fr. Lombardi emphasized that it is important that communication regarding this
sorrowful event for the Pope and the Church be inspired by rigorous criteria
for the truth: "It seems to me", he said, "that there is a line of desire for
truth and clarity,
a desire for transparency that, although it will take time, continues forward.
I thus honestly believe that we are trying to handle this new situation: We
are seeking the truth, and trying to objectively understand what may have
happened. First,
however, it is necessary to be sure to have understood it, in respect for
persons and the truth".
Fr. Lombardi explained to the journalists that it will be necessary to wait
for a complete picture of the situation, since the investigations and formal
questioning are still at a preliminary stage. The agencies involved at this
stage are the Vatican
magistrate and a Commission of Cardinals.
The director of the Holy See Press Office also explained that yesterday
morning the single defendant, Paolo Gabriele, met with his lawyers who will
probably request monitored surveillance or house arrest for their client. At
the same time, Fr. Lombardi
denied details published in the media such as that packets of documents
prepared to be sent to specific recipients were found in Gabriele's house. The
material found in the personal assistant's possession is already being studied
and catalogued, Fr.
Lombardi said.

the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, confraternities and sodalities, Eucharistic
