Vatican leaks: Pope denounces "gratuitous" coverage
The Pope has broken his silence on the Vatican leaks scandal, expressing his anger at the way some parts of the media are covering the story.
Pope Benedict XVI said "exaggerated" and "gratuitous" reports were painting a false image of the Holy See.
A series of leaks has revealed allegations of corruption, mismanagement and internal conflicts.

Instead they spend all their time and money in their corrupt little schemes trying to regain the power they once had and covering up the evil that they have been creating since the Vatican was born.
The Vatican is filled with the most un-holy of people.
