Vatican did not protect Italian cardinal from legal charges, Allen notes
CWN - December 06, 2010

(He was accused of financial improprieties in connection with probes of organized crime.) Many people expected the Vatican to intervene, to protect the cardinal and avoid public scandal. Instead, Allen observes, the Vatican left Cardinal Giordano to cope with his own legal problems-- which, eventually, he did.
