Vatican City, 1 June 2015 (VIS) – In
response to questions from journalists, the director of the Holy See
Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., explained that the
statement made by Mr. Peter Saunders (one of the 17 members of the
Commission for the Protection of Minors) during a television
broadcast was evidently given in an entirely personal way and not on
behalf of the Commission, which is not competent to investigate or to
pronounce specific judgements on individual cases.
Moreover, Cardinal George Pell has
always responded carefully and thoroughly to the accusations and
questions posed by the competent Australian authorities, and his
position has been made known again in recent days by a public
declaration on his part, which must be considered reliable and worthy
of respect and attention.
