Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said on Monday that the Pope was unlikely to intervene in the trial of his former butler Paolo Gabriele. The Vatican ordered the butler to stand trial for leaking documents alleging corruption in the Holy See, revealing the involvement of a second Vatican employee and details of secret nocturnal meetings with a reporter. [Federico Lombardi, Vatican Spokesman]: “The Pope has obviously received a copy of the document. The Pope has the power to intervene at any time if he wishes to, but if he continues in the way he has acted up to now, he has not intervened and we can assume that the trial will go ahead. Three things were found, one is a cheque payable to the Pope, one is a gold nugget – I wouldn't know how else to define it – and the third thing is a 16th century book.” A complex 35-page document on a scandal which has rocked the Holy See since butler Gabriele was arrested last May showed that the butler saw himself as an “infiltrator” of the Holy Spirit who wanted to clean up the Roman Catholic Church. [Saviero Gaeta, Vatican Journalist]: “…he felt that by committing these actions he felt like he was acting as an instrument of the Holy Spirit in its efforts to heal the life of today's Catholic Church.” said Vatican journalist Saviero Gaeta. Computer expert Claudio Sciarpelletti says the indictment could lead to the most spectacular trial in the Vatican in 40 years. For more news and videos visit ☛ english.ntdtv.com Follow us on …
