There is a "fear" of infiltration
by criminal groups in preparations for the upcoming
extraordinary Holy Year, director of the Rome branch of the
Catholic relief agency Caritas Monsignor Enrico Feroci said
Thursday.
"We can see that there is a lack of ethics, each time a
space opens up someone tries to infiltrate it," Monsignor Feroci
said, probably in reference to a rash of corruption scandals
involving public works and services contracts up and down the
country, including in the capital.
"In Rome people have even speculated on the poor, in the
manner of true profiteers," he added.
However, there is "also another Rome, that of solidarity"
the Caritas director said.
Pope Francis has called a special Jubilee dedicated to
mercy starting December 8 to highlight a central spiritual theme
in his papacy.
However its announcement last week was accompanied by
concerns over preparations as Rome gears up to receiving
millions of pilgrims for the occasion.
