Pope Benedict XVI has convened a 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.

The Vatican press office said he added a second meeting later in the day with other cardinals in an attempt to try to “restore a climate of serenity and trust” in the Catholic Church.

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”.
