CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Pietro Parolin has encouraged a Vatican tribunal “to prosecute and punish all crimes” involved in the Vatican’s landmark financial-misconduct trial, adding that “the Secretariat of State is also considered an injured party.”
The statement from the Secretary of State, presented to the tribunal as the case nears a close, was the first direct involvement of Cardinal Parolin in the proceedings. The Secretariat of State had not brought a complaint against the ten defendants, although prosecutors said that top officials, including Cardinal Parolin, had been “deceived” by the defendants into approving questionable transactions.
