“Certainly,” the Pontiff continued, “those who work in the Holy See and in the Vatican City State do so with fidelity and honesty, but the lure of corruption is so dangerous that we must be vigilant.”
For the Holy Father, this must be addressed “firmly and at the same time mercifully,” since “scandals serve more to fill the pages of newspapers than to deeply correct behavior.”
Finally, he invited them to help those responsible for the administration of the assets of the Holy See “to create safeguards” that can prevent “the very insidiousness of corruption” from materializing.
