VATICAN CITY
The Australian
POPE Benedict XVI has convened a special meeting of cardinals for advice on how to deal with the Vatican’s leaked documents scandal.
The pope was already scheduled to attend a regular meeting of the heads of Vatican offices on Saturday morning.
The Vatican press office said he added a second meeting later in the day with other cardinals – including Sydney archbishop George Pell – in a bid to try to ”restore a climate of serenity and trust” in the church.
The Vatican said over the coming days he will meet with still more cardinals gathering in Rome for a church feast day on Friday to ”continue the dialogue with the people who share the responsibility of the church’s governance with him”.
