Vatican Secrets: After Pope Benedict Resignation Bombshell, Talk Of Head Injury, Retirement Residence, Pacemaker

VATICAN CITY -- For an institution devoted to eternal
light, the Vatican has shown itself to be a master
of smokescreens since Pope Benedict XVI's shock
resignation announcement.
On Thursday, the Vatican spokesman acknowledged
that Benedict hit his head and bled profusely while
visiting Mexico in March. Two days earlier the same
man acknowledged that Benedict has had a pacemaker
for years, and underwent a secret operation to
replace its battery three months ago.
And as the Catholic world reeled from shock over
the abdication, it soon became clear that
Benedict's post-papacy lodgings have been under
construction since at least the fall. That in turn
put holes in the Holy See's early claims that
Benedict kept his decision to himself until he
revealed it.
Vatican secrecy is legendary and can have tragic
consequences – as the world learned through the
church sex abuse scandal in which bishops quietly
moved abusive priests without reporting their
crimes.
And the secrecy is institutionalized from such
weighty matters to the most trivial aspects of
Vatican life.
"You have to understand that actually every Vatican
employee and official takes an oath of secrecy
when they assume their job," said John Thavis,
author of "The Vatican Diaries," an investigation
into the workings of the Holy See. "And this isn't
something that is taken lightly. They swear to keep
secret any office matters and anything pertaining
to the pope."
One of the most famous cases of Vatican secrecy
was the Holy See's efforts to cover up the fact
that Pope John Paul I's dead body was discovered
by a nun. The eventual revelation helped fuel
conspiracy theories over the death of the pope who
ruled for only 33 days in 1978.
The Vatican is so obsessed with secrecy that the
first and only official confirmation that John
Paul II had Parkinson's disease was in his death
certificate.
The Vatican justifies itself by arguing that its
officials are holders of the divine truth,
unaccountable to worldly laws. In particular, the
pope's word is the final say on any issue –
infallible on some doctrinal matters. But groups
representing sex abuse victims, and other
Catholics angered by the scandal, have been
demanding modern standards of accountability and
calling for reforms.
The Vatican brushed aside criticism for keeping
quiet about the pope's December pacemaker
procedure, on grounds it was "routine." One
Vatican official said making the operation public
would simply have led to a big and unnecessary
commotion about the pope's health. "You can
imagine the satellite dishes in St. Peter's
square," said the official, who spoke on condition
of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak
to the media.
The front-man for the church's dance of
concealment and disclosure: Vatican spokesman The
Rev. Federico Lombardi. In his briefings, Lombardi
has been forced into the uncomfortable situation
of keeping silent on aspects of the pope's health
and future, only to backpedal when confronted with
reports in Italian newspapers.
In the latest disclosure, Turin's La Stampa
newspaper reported Thursday that Benedict hit his
head on a sink and bled profusely when he got up
in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar
bedroom in Leon, Mexico. The report said papal
blood stained Benedict's hair, his pillow and the
floor.
Lombardi confirmed the incident but denied it
played any role in the pope's resignation. Still,
suspicions are bound to be whetted, since the
Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano reported
this week that Benedict had taken the decision to
resign after the Mexico-Cuba trip, which was
physically exhausting for the 85-year-old pope.
Then there's the question of how many people knew
of Benedict's decision to retire.
On the day of the announcement the Vatican cast it
as a bolt from the blue, saying almost nobody knew
but Benedict himself. Soon, however, prominent
clergymen – one not even Catholic – began
changing the tone and saying they were not
surprised.
"Knowing the pope well, there was something in the
air that this decision of the pope was possible,"
said Archbishop Piero Marini, master of papal
ceremonies under Pope John Paul II. "So it was not
a shock."
