Melbourne, May 20 (ANI): The Vatican has denounced a new book of leaked internal documents as 'criminal' and is threatening to file a lawsuit against those responsible for publishing it.
The book sheds light on power struggles inside the Holy See and the inner workings of its embattled bank.
Pope Benedict XVI has already appointed a commission of cardinals to probe into the 'Vatileaks' scandal, which erupted earlier this year, with the publication of leaked memos alleging corruption and mismanagement in Holy See affairs and internal squabbles over its efforts to conform with international anti-money laundering norms.
According to News.com.au, the publication of His Holiness, by Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi, added fuel to the fire, reproducing letters and memos to and from Benedict and his personal secretary, which the Vatican said violated the pope's right to privacy. (ANI)
