Catholic probe of the church’s history was first reported by BBC News website.

After a week-long inquiry, the Pope himself wrote in an open letter to the Vatican that the Church is guilty of „the most serious violation of the most fundamental principles of Christian doctrine since Adam”.

„Since the Church was founded centuries ago, it has been guilty of many sins, not least the sacrilege of immorality… It is with great reluctance that the Holy Father, in his letter, addresses us at this early stage to condemn the Church for these offenses.

„We can see now the grave crimes committed by centuries of Roman Pontiffs and it is by their impiety that a Church such as ours has been brought to its present predicament.”

The letter did not specifically refer to „the latest allegations made against Benedict”, but the Holy Father indicated that the current investigations „give rise to some doubts, the very same doubts we are currently having about the future of the Holy See itself.”

He said he „remains in my office as a father of children and grandchildren to whom the Holy Father says: ‚If you seek grace and mercy with the Father through my Son, believe on him’…”
