Answering journalists questions about press reports on the situation of the former Archbishop of Poznan, Archbishop Juliusz Paetz, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Father F. Lombardi stated that it is unfounded in this case speak of "rehabilitation", given that the issue dealt with in correspondence with Rome exclusively regarded authorisation whether to allow him or not, preside at public celebrations following an invitation made by a parish priest, without the necessary authorization from the Ordinary bishop.

The criteria and restrictions established in 2002 and thus far observed, are not subject to change.

As officially confirmed yesterday by the spokesman for the archdiocese of Poznan, the possibility that the Archbishop of Poznan, Stanislaw Gadecki, presented, or even thought of presenting his resignation from the diocese, is totally unfounded.
