Death and clemency in Cardinal Corcia affair at Rome
The Last Assembly of the Congregation deals with Cardinal Corcia's crimes. Three cardinals vote death, three for stripping the purple, and the rest acquit with a mild ruling. The Pope approves the sentence but would ease it, yet crimes are considered too odious for indulgence. The Pontiff prays before a crucifix, tears in his eyes.
