The Vatileaks report has been on the Pope’s desk for three weeks according to Vatican Insider’s well-informed sources.
The three ‘detective-Cardinals’, Julian Herranz, Jozef Tomko and Salvatore De Giorgi presented the Pontiff with a hefty dossier containing mostly transcriptions of hearings in question and answer form.
The content, which is being kept top-secret, is said to give an accurate picture of how the Pope’s personal secretariat handled documents and of correspondence addressed to and sent from the Vatican Secretariat of State.
The goal of the three cardinals was to reconstruct the working methods of the Curia recreating the document trail between the Secretariat of State and the Pope’s personal secretariat.
The Pope’s personal secretariat also underwent an in-depth investigation to show clearly how correspondence to the Pope was managed and the ways of accessing the Pope.
Vatican Insider reports the bulky document contains statements from over a hundred thoroughly conducted interviews and is said to be a meticulous piece of work.
Vatican Insider reports the cardinals are in favour of the document being published and said publication would not cause them any difficulties. However the Holy Father, who has the final say, is inclined to delay releasing the results of the parallel investigation, at least until his former butler, Paolo Gabriele’s trial is over.
