Pope Benedict XVI held a meeting this morning with heads of the various dicasteries of the Roman Curia and will be meeting six other cardinals later this evening.
Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi said reason for the meetings is because the Holy Father wishes to “speed up” the conclusion of the “Vatileaks” scandal and to “restore serenity and trust” in the Curia.
“In regard to the situation created following the dissemination of confidential documents, the Holy Father deepens his reflections in continuous dialogue with the people who share with him the responsibility for the government of the Church,” Fr. Lombardi said in a statement.
He said the meeting this morning with the Heads of the Dicasteries “is usually devoted to issues surrounding the better coordination of the work of the Curia,” but which today is “particularly important and urgent for the effective witness to their harmony of purpose and the spirit which animates it.”
