Criticism of Pope's move extends into the Vatican's inner circle

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna and a personal friend of the Pope, said this in a radio interview: "Obviously a mistake has been made here. Someone who denies the Holocaust, Shoah deniers, cannot be restored to an office in the Church. Here there must be also a certain criticism of the Vatican's staff practice, which obviously did not examine the matter carefully or did not examine sufficiently the case in the information that they had."
