Vatican
City, 20 February 2013
(VIS) – The director of the Holy See Press Office, Fr. Federico
Lombardi, S.J., responding to journalists' questions, commented that
the Holy Father is considering the publication of a Motu Proprio in
the coming days, obviously before the beginning of the Sede Vacante,
to clarify a few particular points regarding the Apostolic
Constitution on the conclave that have arisen over the last years.
"I
don't know if he will deem it necessary or appropriate," he
added, "to elucidate the question of the opening date of the
conclave. We will have to see if and when a document is published. It
seems to me, for example, the clarification of some details in order
to be in complete agreement with another document regarding the
conclave, that is, the Ordo Rituum Conclavis. In any case, the
question depends on the Pope's judgement and if this document comes
about it will be made known through the proper channels."
