“I am grateful to the Holy Father that I was able to clarify it in a heartfelt conversation two days ago,” said Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who was accused in the Vatican trial of the financial scandal surrounding the sale of London’s Sloane Avenue building his defenders Fabio Viglione and Maria Concetta Marzo.
More specifically, the cardinal states in the note: “I am grateful to the Holy Father that two days ago I was able to clarify it in a cordial conversation. The Pope encouraged me unwavering and total dedication, and I am just as grateful to him for confirming my invitation to continue attending the Cardinals’ celebrations”.
A meeting between the Pope and Cardinal Angelo Becciu, which took place last Saturday a few days after recent revelations related to the ongoing Vatican trial, including news of a phone conversation recorded without the Pope’s knowledge, at the cardinal’s home a few days before the start of the trial and the dissemination of conversations between Becciu and his relatives in a chat that also speaks of the Pope and the judges.
