 VATICAN CITY (AP) - The College of Cardinals decided Saturday to halt interviews with the media as they begin preparations for their conclave to elect a new pope, the Vatican said.
Until now, cardinals have been giving interviews and the clampdown is believed unprecedented.
The cardinals consider their restraint to be an act of responsibility as they prepare for the conclave that begins April 18, said Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls.
