Pope Francis has yet to respond
to a request to pardon for Vatileaks culprit Bishop Lucio
Vallejo Balda, sources said Tuesday.
The Spanish prelate is serving 18 months in a Vatican
prison after being found guilty in July of leaking confidential
Holy See documents to reporters in the so-called Vatileaks 2
scandal.
Francis' predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, pardoned his
former butler Paolo Gabriel after he was found guilty of leaking
confidential material and sentenced to a year and a half in
prison.
