Is the world's holiest bank riddled with corruption?

Many are asking that question today after a senior Vatican accountant was accused of plotting to sneak $26 million in bags of cash into Italy by stashing them away on a private jet, with the help of a former Italian spy.

The accountant, the former spy and an Italian financial broker have all been arrested in a case that highlights the Vatican's continuing challenge to eliminate fraud within the famously secretive Vatican Bank.

Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, who was the head of analytic accounts at the Holy See's property-management agency, has been accused of fraud, corruption and slander. He was the middle-man in a complex plot that involved secretly flying his friends' money from Switzerland to Italy, evading customs and driving to his house in an armored convoy in order to avoid taxes, according to prosecutors.

'Prepare to be shocked,' Milwaukee archbishop warns of priest sex files
Archdiocese to release documents Monday

By Annysa Johnson of the Journal Sentine

In a major turning point in its nearly 3-year-old bankruptcy, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee on Monday is scheduled to make public thousands of pages of documents detailing the sexual abuse of minors by priests going back decades, and what church leaders did — and did not do — in response.

The records will contain parts of 42 priests' personnel files as well as depositions of former Archbishop Timothy Dolan, now cardinal of New York; retired Archbishop Rembert Weakland; retired Bishop Richard Sklba; and now-defrocked priest Daniel Budzynski.

Most of the information, which is being released as part of an agreement in the archdiocese's bankruptcy proceedings, has never been seen publicly.

"Needless to say, there are some terrible things described in many of the documents," Archbishop Jerome Listecki said in his weekly letter to local Catholics in advance of the release. To those deciding to read the files, Listecki advised, "prepare to be shocked."

According to interviews and court records, the documents are expected to include: details about how church officials shuttled abusive priests from one parish or school to the next without divulging their histories; correspondence between the archdiocese and the Vatican, which has the final word on defrocking priests; evidence that the archdiocese under Dolan paid some priests to accept that decision without protest; and graphic accounts of sexual assault of young people.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Susan V. Kelley has acknowledged in court the disturbing nature of some of the documents. Earlier this year, commenting on the case of Franklyn Becker, a priest who molested at least 10 teenage boys beginning in the 1960s, Kelley said: "Every time I have to read his file, I'm just devastated."

Jeffrey Anderson, who represents most of the 575 men and women who filed sex abuse claims in the bankruptcy, argued for the release of the documents and called it a victory for victims and survivors.

"From the outset, what survivors have wanted most is to protect other kids," said Anderson. "And the only way you can do that is to have full disclosure of what has been done in the past."

Listecki, who was not available for this story, worried in his letter how victims would weather the public release of such information. To some, that rang hollow.

"Releasing these documents is not going to hurt us. The damage has been done. We can't suffer any more than we already have," said Charles Linneman of Sugar Grove, Ill.

Linneman was abused by Becker at the age of 14 at St. John's Parish in South Milwaukee and now serves as chairman of the bankruptcy creditors committee.

"I haven't met one survivor who wants those documents to stay sealed," he said.

Archdiocese of Milwaukee files for bankruptcy protection

Archbishop Jerome Listecki said the move was necessary to fairly compensate abuse victims and to continue the "essential ministries" of the church. However, advocates for abuse victims characterized the filing as a ploy to protect the church

Poggi also accused the former Carabinieri of selling consecrated hosts for satanic rites.

When he met the authorities, Poggi reportedly presented documentary and photographic evidence in the company of two senior Vatican clergymen who vouched for his credibility.


One of the clergymen was Monsignor Luca Lorusso, an adviser to the Papal Nuncio to Italy, who is himself a confidante of Pope Francis.

Poggi's list of names included two senior church officials and a religion lecturer.

This must be The Devil at work in The Vatican,
as it was said...by the chief exorcist.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,588762,00.html

So...they also accused of running the operation to supply consecrated hosts
for a satanic ritual, this is not really suprising but something that until now
has had little publicity.

Rome, Italy, Jul 15, 2004 / 12:00 am (CNA).- Fr. Aldo Buonaiuto, director of an "emergency help line" that assists young people wanting to get out of satanic cults, expressed alarm this week at the growth of Satanism, which has created a "market" for consecrated hosts in Italy.

In statements published in the Catholic magazine Famiglia Cristiana, Fr. Buonaiuto explained that "a proliferation of cults exists which practice black masses, with the profanation of consecrated hosts, rape and torture."

"We know of cases of consensual vampirism, and also the assaulting of young people who have been drugged in the course of ritualistic orgies."

And the connections are as follows...

Consecrated hosts in order to desecrate them during satanic rituals

The following is quoted (with permission)

by a former satanic priest:

In Anton LaVey's official biography, ?The Devil's Avenger,? by Burton Wolfe, it is stated that LaVey was consecrated an Orthodox bishop by a Greek Orthodox bishop in exchange for the bishop being made a satanic priest.

?Alex Sanders, the ?King of the Witches,? also sought, and received, Holy Orders and was made a bishop.

?Aleister Crowley was consecrated a bishop in the Old Roman Catholic Church from the succession of Archbishop Joseph Rene Villatte (as was I, a generation or two later). His Orders (as mine) are regarded by the Vatican as being ?valid but illicit.? I have a letter to that effect from Franz Cardinal Seper, who at that time was the head of the Sacred Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith.?

Here are some additional details....sort of connect the dots.

So, we have another smuggling operation busted,
aka known as a crime ring. Money laundering and
crooked crime families all working with officials from
The Vatican. Wow, and some say that conspiracies
such as the P2 have came and went.

Propaganda Due or P2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due

Propaganda Due (Italian pronunciation: [propa??anda ?du?e]), or P2, was a Masonic lodge operating under the jurisdiction of the Grand Orient of Italy from 1945 to 1976 (when its charter was withdrawn), and a pseudo-Masonic or "black" or "covert" lodge operating illegally (in contravention of Italian constitutional laws banning secret lodges, and membership of government officials in secret membership organizations) from 1976 to 1981. During the years that the lodge was headed by Licio Gelli, P2 was implicated in numerous Italian crimes and mysteries, including the collapse of the Vatican-affiliated Banco Ambrosiano, the murders of journalist Mino Pecorelli and banker Roberto Calvi, and corruption cases within the nationwide bribe scandal Tangentopoli. P2 came to light through the investigations into the collapse of Michele Sindona's financial empire.[1]

P2 was sometimes referred to as a "state within a state"[2] or a "shadow government".[3] The lodge had among its members prominent journalists, members of parliament, industrialists, and military leaders—including Silvio Berlusconi, who later became Prime Minister of Italy; the Savoy pretender to the Italian throne Victor Emmanuel; and the heads of all three Italian intelligence services.

When searching Licio Gelli's villa, the police found a document called the "Plan for Democratic Rebirth", which called for a consolidation of the media, suppression of trade unions, and the rewriting of the Italian Constitution.[4]

Outside Italy, P2 was also active in Uruguay, Brazil and in Argentina, with Raúl Alberto Lastiri, Argentina's interim president (between July 13, 1973 to October 12, 1973) during the height of the "Dirty War" among its members. Emilio Massera, who was part of the military junta led by Jorge Rafael Videla from 1976 to 1978, José López Rega, minister of Social Welfare in Perón's government and founder of the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance ("Triple A"), and General Guillermo Suárez Mason were also members.[5]
