Among the papers in the possession of the Vatican tribunal called to judge Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu and other defendants, with the next hearing scheduled for January 25, there is an explanatory note at the top of which it is written that “during the board meeting of April 6 the Holy Father gave the authorization to make the aforementioned Note public.” Signed: Edgar Peña Parra, substitute secretary of state.

This is what Settimo Cielo does in this post: provide readers with the essential features of this hitherto unpublished document, delivered by Peña Parra to the Vatican tribunal to describe the situation of the Secretariat of State at the time of his taking office as substitute, on October 15 2018, “as well as some aspects of the activity of the Secretariat of State regarding the 60 Sloane Avenue building in London.”

The dossier is 322 pages long, with numerous attachments, but the key pages are the first twenty with the Note of Peña Parra. Which among other things includes information that could create a diplomatic incident with none other than China.

It in fact relates “some news furnished by the archbishop of Vilnius (Lithuania) regarding the vulnerability” of the Vatican computer system. With Peña Parra specifying as follows: “A nephew of the archbishop, an expert on the subject, had evidence of China’s intrusion into our computer system, and we received the proof of this.”
