Vatican accuses disgraced Polish prelate of misleading the pope

According to Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, head of the church's Congregation for Bishops, the Vatican had no knowledge of the allegations at the time of his December 6 appointment.
'When Monsignor Wielgus was nominated (archbishop of Warsaw) we knew nothing of his collaboration with the secret service,' Battista Re told Italian daily Corriere della Sera.

Are we really supposed to believe this?

Sounds to me like Cardinal Re isn't long for his job, since he didn't do due diligence here. Presumably, there was documentation on Weilgus' collaboration. Sounds like the Polish Bishops' Conference wasn't much help, either.

2. There are a lot of people out there who just didn't do their jobs...
