VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict’s butler remains the only person under investigation for the recent theft of Vatican documents, but he is not being treated as a “scapegoat,” the pontiff’s spokesman said Monday.
“It seems to me definitively clear that the notion of a scapegoat does not reflect reality,” Father Federico Lombardi said.
He again denied reports in the Italian media that some church officials, including cardinals – as well as one or more journalists – are also being treated as suspects in the so-called Vatileaks case.
