Rome Reports interviews the Australian cardinal, who recently published the journal he kept in prison.
Some of the questions were:
Why did you write “Prison Journal,” your new book?
What did you feel when the jury said you were guilty?
Were you able to forgive the people that led you to imprisonment?
Cardinal Maurice Piat, Bishop of Port-Louis in Mauritius since 1993, turns 80.
For the first time, a cardinal will stand trial before a Vatican tribunal of laypersons.
The College of Cardinals falls to 219 members.
