May 18, 2012. (Romereports.com) The leak of confidential Vatican documents continues, as dozens of letters and closed reports to the Pope appeared in a book that was released in Italy. There is nothing especially revealing the content except, the origin and date: they are recent documents and come from the Vatican's Secretariat of State.
The documents discuss the well publicized parties of former Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the testimony of the former secretary to
Marcial Maciel, how Angela Merkel was upset when an excommunication was
lifted on a Lefebrian bishop, the Pope's bank account, a secret briefing
for a meeting with the President of Italy, as well as the cease-fire of
the Spanish terrorist group ETA.
These new documents will give more clues to Cardinal Julián Herranz and
his commission that is currently investigating the Vatican leak of
classified documents.
The Secretary of State is also conducting his own investigation into the
leaks as well as the Vatican prosecutor who is working on a criminal
investigation.
