The arrests of Spanish priest Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda and laywoman Francesca Chaouqui came over the weekend, but Vatican officials only reported the occurrence Monday. Chaouqui was shortly after released after she agreed to cooperate with investigators, Reuters said.

“The Evidence Bible” is now available and includes, besides the King James version, dozens of articles expanding answers to questions such as why is there suffering, explanations about what Muslims believe and scientific facts written millennia before man discovered them.

The arrests come as two Italian authors are just about to release separate books about past scandals of the Vatican.

It’s not clear what documents the two were accused of leaking.
