THE POPE GRANTS PARDON TO PAOLO GABRIELE
Vatican City, 22 December 2012 (VIS) - Given below is the communiqué
released this morning by the Secretariat of State:
"This morning the Holy Father Benedict XVI visited Paolo Gabriele in prison in
order to confirm his forgiveness and communicate in person his decision to
grant Mr Gabriele's request for pardon, thereby remitting the sentence passed
against the latter.
This constitutes a paternal gesture towards a person with whom the Pope shared
a relationship of daily familiarity for many years.
"Mr Gabriele was subsequently released from prison and has returned home.
Since he cannot resume his previous occupation or continue to live in Vatican
City, the Holy See, trusting in his sincere repentance, wishes to offer him
the possibility of
returning to a serene family life".
