Vatican City, 8 November 2015 (VIS) –
After the Angelus prayer, the Holy Father addressed some words to
those present on the events of recent days in the Vatican:
“I know that many of you are
concerned by the news that has circulated in recent days regarding
reserved documents of the Holy See that have been stolen and
published. Therefore, I would like to say to you, first and foremost,
that stealing those documents is a crime. It is a deplorable and
unhelpful act. I myself had asked for that study to be undertaken; my
collaborators and I were very familiar with the documents and
measures had been taken that had started to bear fruit, including
some that were visible”.
