Vatican clergy and employees will be issued with an identity card complete with a microchip-tracking device in sweeping new security measures designed to prevent a repeat of the Vatileaks Scandal


Much tighter controls have already been introduced for anyone seeking access or photocopies of the Holy See's archives, dossiers and documents.


Slovenian priest, Mitja Leskovar, an anti-espionage expert nicknamed 'Monsignor 007', is in charge of implementing the new security procedures with the identity cards expected to be introduced from January 1.


As a Catholic, I find it somewhat disappointing that the Vatican staffs every move will now be monitored - the level of trust within her walls appears to be diminishing rapidly - what are they hiding? The implementation of this new control measure has the hallmarks of a larger agenda.........

Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi told The Daily Telegraph these kind of security measures had been talked about within the Vatican for years but declined to comment on any details and said he did not know the precise timing of the measures.


It will be interesting to determine who, other than Monsignor 007, has control of and access to the chips' information and exactly what measures will be put in place to monitor the card holders.

Thousands of clerical and lay staff working inside the walls of the Vatican from the Apostolic Palace to the Secretariat of State will be affected by the tighter scrutiny that will also enable their superiors to monitor when they clock in and out.


Once this new Microchipped ID card with its tracking technology (as God know what else) has the blessing of the Holy See, it opens up a whole new level of public acceptance of this degree of monitoring.

Chips exist in my Passport and in my credit-cards but not in my Drivers Licence (yet). What information do these chips contain and who really has access to them?

After all, if the Pope OK's it - its gotta be good right! RIGHT!

These just up on YT, interesting opinions surround this news already...............

I agree and acknowledge that the Vatican is sitting on sensitive information / documentation. Vatileaks is relatively recent and the institution has survived for a very long time without the need to be this intrusive in peoples lives - it is a shame that it has come to this.

What's the problem, again?


Not so much a problem as a 'concern" I personally have.

Would the information gathered be able to be used against an innocent party? I think that placing this information into the hands of a few people may lead to corruption. Could false information be planted within the chip?

Dear Sublimecraft,

I agree completely. I don't know how it could be done, but the people in the Vatican are just that, people. They're all subject to temptation and some will fall to it. I can only hope that they put in enough safeguards to protect the innocent, but some years down the road, I'm pretty sure something like what you've envisioned will take place.

It may sound pessimistic, but there will always be some corruption everywhere.

With respect,
