Vatican denies it would accept priests’ children
The Vatican denied it would be considering measures so that the children of the priests could take the surname of their father and inherit their personal assets and considered the informations on this matter “without foundation”.
The spokesman of the Holy See, Federido Lombardi, went out to deny versions published yesterday by the Italian newspaper La Stampa and spread by world media.
Turin based newspaper La Stampa, published that “In the last weeks the Brazilian cardinal Claudio Hummes, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, promoted a series of meetings to study the problem.
“For the priests in concubinage and especially for their children, the Vatican thinks of guaranteeing the social rights to the woman and to the children, a sort of civil contract that does not exclude inheritance. Also the surname of the priest – dad would be passed to the children”.
