ROME — Responding to an NCR question, the Vatican spokesperson today said he hopes tomorrow’s meeting between leaders of the largest organization of women religious in the United States and Vatican officials will lead to “reciprocal understanding.”
Jesuit Fr. Federico Lombardi spoke during a daily news briefing, which was largely devoted to the latest developments in the on-going “Vati-leaks” scandal, which at the moment are focused on the recently deposed president of the Vatican Bank, Italian layman Ettore Gotti Tedeschi.
Asked by NCR to comment on the Vatican’s hopes for tomorrow’s meeting involving two officials of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, along with Vatican officials and Archbishop James Sartain of Seattle, tapped by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to oversee a Vatican-mandated process of reform, Lombardi said he couldn’t add much, but that the hope is always for mutual understanding.
