VATICAN CITY — The father of the pope’s personal assistant, who is under arrest in connection with the so-called “VatiLeaks” scandal, described his son as an honest, faithful Catholic and said he hoped his son’s “sacrifice” would help the church rid itself of corruption.
Paolo Gabriele, the pope’s personal assistant, is a person of “absolute honesty … great generosity and moral integrity,” who is deeply devoted to the church and the pope, Andrea Gabriele said in a letter sent to the Italian television station Tgcom 24.
