I. In 2001, Del Ponte had worked a genocide investigation against four Rwandans, two of them Catholic priests, one living under a false name in Italy and the other hiding under an alias in Switzerland. After appealing to the Vatican for help in persuading the priest in Italy to turn himself in, she later discovered that “church officials sent him into hiding.” “I was,” she wrote in her book, Madame Prosecutor, “to put it mildly, furious.”7

II. Just before John Paul’s death there were rumors that he was considering banker Roberto Mazzotta, president of Caripio, a Milan-based bank and charitable foundation, as Caloia’s replacement. Mazzotta was a respected member of the white finance movement, of which Caloia had been a founder.

III. Lombardi is the same press spokesman who ignored more than a dozen requests from the author for comments and interviews inside the Vatican, as late as 2014.
