John Paul II Titanic Ship hit not only by American iceberg of priest pedophilia, also Irish iceberg, German iceberg, Austrian...Canadian icebergs....

Our mission is clear why we have our weblogs, it is to convince Americans that John Paul II must not be called a ‘saint’ in American soil and by American lips especially by American children because he failed to protect one American child from his John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army (JPIIPPA) when he was pope for 26 years http://jp2army.blogspot.com/ Our second mission is to build the John Paul II Millstone monument in our city of Boston…and from coast to coast to LA. But now that the JPIIPPA has expanded into Ireland and Europe like a wildfire, our mission has grown larger to convince the whole World not to call John Paul II a “saint” in Ireland…Germany…Netherlands…Austria…Switzerland…Australia…Canada...Mexico.......

What a coincidence or God-incidence that as John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army expands into Ireland & John Paul is elevated as "Venerable"... only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-paul-ii-pedophile-priests-army.html

And a bigger God-incidence which no one in USA or Ireland ever could imagine is John Paul II miraculously cures his German barber of hernia in Rome… as the John Paul II Pedophile Priest Army jolts Germany http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2010/03/john-paul-ii-miraculously-cures-his.html The capability of secrecy by the Vatican and the Opus Dei who ran the 26 years papacy of John Paul II with German Cardinal Ratzinger is incredible.

It is clear that God is taking things in his own hands because we are not the mainstream media like the New York Times. God will do the work for us because we have received threats but we are not afraid. Opus Dei probably thinks that because they control the papacy and the trillion Vatican Bank, tehy can also control us and the media. Geez, money talks, established mainstream media can afford millions of dollars to deceive its readers like NCR does with John Allen Jr. See John Allen the Pied Piper of Benedict XVI toots “Will Ratzinger's past trump Benedict's present?” http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2010/03/john-allen-pied-piper-of-benedict-xvi_25.html


So now the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army is spreading at an alarming rate in Germany, the Netherlands, of course Ireland. But the worst is, the priest pedophilia crime of cover-up is coming home to Benedict XVI himself and his two pathetic and desperate Vaticanistas, American John Allen JR of All Things Catholic of NCR and Italian Sandro Magister of chiessa.espresso are in full swing to try to save Benedict XVI’s head. See ‘Forgiveness’ is a gizmo of perpetual injustice to victims of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. To Vaticanista chiessa.espresso Sandro Magister, Baloney! Sciocchezze! http://jp2army.blogspot.com/2010/03/forgiveness-is-gizmo-of-injustice-to.html

Well, God is on our side, and these main stream media professional writers, especially John Allen of NCR with his 6 digits salary paid by the trillion dollar Vatican Bank will fail because they are trying to save the 5-Star General commander Benedict XVI of the John Paul II Titanic Ship that has been hit not just by one iceberg of American priest pedophilia but now the Irish iceberg, German iceberg, Netherlands iceberg, Austrian iceberg, Canadian icerberg, Mexico iceberg (and still counting) of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.

Go on, Benedict XVI and Opus Dei, hurry and canonize ‘Saint’ John Paul II the Great cold-hearted pope who did not help one child out of the hundreds of thousands of victims of his own JP2 Army. Not even the trillion dollar Vatican Bank can salvage the John Paul II Titanic Ship from sinking!

Perhaps the worst iceberg is now a new American iceberg of an American pedophile priest who sodomized 200 deaf boys and Cardinal Ratzinger was so cold-hearted that he did nothing to stop him see B & B Benedict XVI and Cardinal Bertone in 1998 hid a pedophile priest who abused 200 deaf and blind boys http://jp2army.blogspot.com/2010/03/b-b-benedict-xvi-and-cardinal-bertone.html Cardinal Ratzinger silenced many Jesuits and theologians, but he did not silenced one single pedophile priest because he was a high-powered Cardinal who had no feelings for children, he only had his hatred for the Jesuits in obedience to St. Josemaria Escriva WOLRD DOMINATION AGENDA. That is why he is the 5-Star General of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.

John Paul II miraculously cures his German barber of hernia in Rome… as the John Paul II Pedophile Priest Army jolts Germany

What is worse? Who is worse? An old man with a hernia or an altar boy sodomized by a pedophile priest? The bells of Rome ring hollow again. Last December, John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army expands into Ireland &John Paul is elevated as "Venerable"... only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html. This February, as the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army erupts in Germany, the Netherlands and Australia, John Paul II performs a second miracle making him closer to canonization. Wow! Only in the Catholic Church are criminals miraculous.

First, it was the Polish (nun) he cured of the same Parkinson disease he had. Now, it is his Communist (barber) that he heals of hernia. Let us get this straight. John Paul II is the most traveled Pope and wherever he went, there were hundreds of thousands of people who ate the instant reincarnation of Christ’s flesh from his Magic of the Mass see http://stella0maris.blogspot.com/. But he healed no one, not even one survivor of the 12,000 victims of his John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in the USA. Not counting the tens of thousands in Ireland and other countries in the world? But now that he is dead, he is suddenly healing persons, especially those very close to him?

No child should ever pray to “saint” John Paul II the Great because he never protected any child from pedophile priests when he was pope for 26 years.

Mother Teresa “saw Christ” in the non-Christian Hindus in the streets of Calcutta. John Paul II traveled all over the world, millions of people attended his Mass, but he never “saw Christ” among the thousands of altar boys sodomized by his hidden John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. See John Paul II did not have the charity of Mother Teresa http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

What a great coincidence. Last December, as John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army erupted in Ireland via the Murphy and Ryan Reports, John Paul II was elevated as “Venerable”. Wow, only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified, especially criminal Cardinal Bernard Law see John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army expands into Ireland &John Paul is elevated as "Venerable"... only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html.

Now the timeline is Valentines Day, February 14, 2010. Germany erupts with priest pedophilia and the Pope meets the entire Irish hierarchy in Rome for a special summit on February 14 and 15, 2010, and John Paul II has a second miracle. Are this God’s timing or the Devil’s timing?

First he heals a Polish nun, John Paul II is Polish.

Second, he heals a German Communist barber in Rome. Benedict XVI is German. And Germany erupts with pedophile priests.

The canonization circus of John Paul II will go on. The papal and bishops are holy magicians who perform the instant magic of the Eucharist and miraculous healing of John Paul II keep erupting simultaneously as the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/

John Paul II will be beatified in October on the anniversary of his election to the papacy.

It is up to us Catholics to stop this papal travesty and Catholic sham of John Paul II’s canonization once and for all.

The barber shop miracle

A Communist barber in Rome says praying to John Paul II cured him of a hernia

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article7026804.ece

February 14, 2010
Richard Owen in Rome

"I am not a saint, I am a sinner" says Giovanni Vecchio as he snips at a customer's hair in his barber's shop in a side street of a workaday Rome suburb. "But I have known a saint." He pauses, scissors in mid-air. "In fact, I have cut his hair".

If - or when - the late Pope John Paul II is canonised, it will be in part thanks to Mr Vecchio. Over 30 years ago, when the barber's shop he worked in was near the Vatican, a Polish prelate called Karol Wojtyla wandered in, sat down, and had his hair cut. He became a regular customer.

Mr Vecchio had no idea who "Father Karol" was, still less that he was to become "papabile". "He told me once he was bishop of Krakow, but to me they were all priests. I called them all Father".

But the encounter changed his life: last year, when he was entering hospital in great pain for a hernia operation, he saw a black and white photograph of John Paul II as a young man hanging at the entrance, and "our eyes met". Shortly afterwards, he was discharged. The hernia - and the pain - had miraculously disappeared.

The "barber's miracle" does not form part of the case for beatifiying John Paul - expected in October - for which the miracle most likely to be approved involves a French nun cured of Parkinson's disease after praying to John Paul. Nor can it be considered for the second "medically inexplicable cure" required for canonisation, since that must take place after beatification.

It has, however, been recorded by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints as evidence of the reverence and devotion toward John Paul. "To me the canonisation announcement itself is not important" Mr Vecchio says at his salon, "Gianni's". "For me, as for many others, he is already a saint".

What makes the "miracle" all the more remarkable is that Mr Vecchio, although baptised a Catholic, is a lifelong Communist, who still keeps his membership card in his wallet. His old-fashioned mirror-lined barber's shop however is now filled not only with mementoes of John Paul, including photographs and a pile of biographies, but also other signs of devotion such as images of Mother Teresa of Calcutta amid the family snaps and collections of razors, hairdryers and shaving brushes.

Mr Vecchio, an animated and - ironically - bald man of 61 who keeps fit by jogging, sees no contradiction, even though John Paul was instrumental in bringing down Communism in the Eastern bloc. "When I first saw him I immediately recognised the goodness in his eyes. At their best, I don't really think there's much difference between the Catholic Church and the ideals of Communism."

At the time he met "Father Karol" in the 1970s Mr Vecchio had just returned from ten years working as a barber in Germany. "I realised from his accent he was a foreigner, and I said to him, 'so you're a Gastarbeiter (guest worker) too! We chatted in Italian and German about myself and my wife and two children".

He once showed "Father Karol" a Bible left in his shop by Jehovah's Witnesses. "He took it, opened the first page and explained to me it was not approved as a Catholic Bible because it did not carry the necessary imprimatur on the title page".

In October 1978, Mr Vecchio was on St Peter's Square for the election of a new pontiff. "John Paul made his famous speech from the balcony of the basilica in Italian, saying 'If I make a mistake you must correct me,' and I immediately recognised the voice. I said, 'but I know him! I cut his hair!" I rushed home and told my wife."

That Christmas John Paul blessed the Nativity crib erected near St Peter's by Rome's refuse collectors, an annual ceremony, and Mr Vecchio - who lived nearby - took photographs. He pulls out a small blue album and proudly shows them to me. "He looked up and recognised me, and when I smiled at him, he raised his hand to me. He didn't say, 'that's my barber', but he pointed me out."

They continued to see each other at a distance during John Paul's 27-year pontificate until his death in 2005. "Then a year ago I developed a serious problem in my back. It got worse and worse, and in the end I saw a neurosurgeon who said I had a herniated disc and would have to have an operation."

He decided to go into hospital at the end of July so he could convalesce during August. "I was in great pain," he says, limping across the floor to show how he could hardly walk. The day before the operation "the surgeon came to see the patients. He looked at my notes and made me press my left knee against his arm as hard as I could, and looked at me with some surprise. He said I would have to have more tests."

After the new tests "the nurse came along and told me that they were sending me home. A woman doctor put up the two test results against the glass, and showed me that there was nothing there. She said to me "I don't believe in miracles, but something has happened". I thanked her, stood up and went home. Ten days later I went down to my home village in Apulia for the holidays, 650 kilometres in the car there and back without a single problem".

After the holiday, "something woke me up at four in the morning. I sat down at the computer, and found the Internet page about the beatification of John Paul II. I'm a barber, I'm not very good at writing, or computers, but I wrote down my experiences the way I've told them to you, and sent it off."

A month later he had a call from Vatican Radio to say his testimony was "convincing" and "reliable". He has since featured on Italian television and in Italian magazines after Pope Benedict XVI, who has put John Paul on the fast-track to sainthood, recognised his predecessor's "heroic virtues", a step before beatification.

Could his remarkable recovery not just be coincidence? Coincidences do happen, he replies, 'but no, all this has happened through John Paul's intercession. I am not religious, but I believe in him". Last November, after watching a documentary about John Paul's election, he resolved to find a photograph of the occasion to add to the mementoes in his shop.

"I went downstairs the next morning, walked out of the door, and there on the pavement, rolled up as if someone had just thrown it away, was a small devotional image of John Paul II as he appeared on the balcony that day in 1978. I found another one just the same on New Year's Eve, and another on a fridge magnet someone had thrown away. Now explain that."

Why Pope John Paul II should not be canonized

August 14, 2009
By Eric Giunta
http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/giunta/090814

Once again, the Catholic world has been rocked by yet more allegations of sexual impropriety by Legionnaires of Christ founder, the late Fr. Marcial Maciel. It seems the now-disgraced founder-cum-pervert fathered more children than previously suspected; the latest claimants to his paternity purport to have evidence that the late Pope John Paul II knew of Maciel's sexual dalliances, and turned a blind eye to them. (If true, it would confirm the prior journalistic scholarship of author Jason Berry.)

The allegations highlight what for all too many Catholics is the elephant-in-the-room when discussing the ills which beset the modern Church: the extent to which the late Pope John Paul II was an enabler of these perversions, from sexual and liturgical abuse to theological dissent and the scandal of Catholic politicians who support the most immoral of social policies with the tacit or express blessings of their Church.

One does not need to deny or disparage the personal sanctity, thoughtful conservatism, or religious orthodoxy of the late Pontiff in order to acknowledge that his Pontificate, by all accounts, was a glorious failure. Yes, he aided in the fall of Eastern European Communism, but the Pope of Rome is not primarily a mover and shaker of state politics, but a Christian pastor whose mission it is to save souls, convert the lost, and govern his church in such a way that it resembles, as best as possible, the city on a hill, the light of the world whose radiance cannot be hid under a bushel-basket.

In terms of raw statistics, the Catholic Church shrank under the late Pope. Catholics comprised 18 percent of the world's population in 1978, the year Karol Wojtyla assumed the Chair of St Peter. At his death Catholics comprised 17 percent.

It'd be foolish, of course, to let such numbers stand alone as leading Catholic indicators, but in terms of the quality of world Catholicism the evidence, while not as quantifiable, is no less apparent or tangible. If one is looking for the fruits of the Wojtylian pontificate, several studies of the modern church paint a representative picture: Goodbye, Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church, Sacrilege: Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church, Amchurch Comes Out: The U.S. Bishops, Pedophile Scandals and the Homosexual Agenda, The Rite of Sodomy: Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church, Our Fathers: The Secret Life of the Catholic Church in an Age of Scandal, Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II, and the pioneering work of Dr. Richard Sipe and Roman Catholic Faithful. These sources approach their subject matter from very varied ideological backgrounds, but they all paint a very bleak, but well-documented, picture of the prior pontificate.

Though Catholics and others are loathe to admit it of an otherwise beloved Pope, John Paul II oversaw a church which deteriorated in both its inner and outer life. His callous indifference toward the victims of priestly sexual abuse in refusing to meet personally with a single one of them, and his stubborn refusal to compel the resignation from office of any of the bishops who aided, abetted, and covered-up the abuse, are testamentary to his utter failure: not as a Catholic or a theologian, but as a Pope.

And this is precisely why he should not be canonized. For in the Catholic (and popular) understanding, canonization is not simply a technical decree indicating one's everlasting abode in Paradise; it is, in addition, the Church's solemn endorsement of a Christian's heroic virtue. The question the Catholic Church must ask herself is: Was John Paul II a model of "heroic" papal virtue?

Contrary to leftist media reportage, the late Pope was not an authoritarian despot, bent on enforcing Catholic orthodoxy on an unwilling church. Quite the contrary: theological liberals and dissenters flourished in all of the Church's structures, from lay politics and Catholic universities, to the ranks of priests and bishops. Not a single pro-abortion Catholic politician has been excommunicated from the church; only a handful of openly heretical priests were asked to stop teaching theology, but were otherwise permitted to exercise their priestly ministry unhindered. The Church in Austria openly dissents from orthodox Catholicism with papal impunity. Fr. Richard McBrien, Sr. Joan Chittiser, Roger Cardinal Mahoney of Los Angeles, Hans Kung, Charles Curran, Notre Dame University, dissenters galore: the overwhelming majority of prominent far-leftist, theologically modernist Catholic organizations, speakers, and theologians are Catholics in good standing with their church, and are frequently given an official platform at church-sponsored institutions and events. To give just two more examples, several Catholic parishes and universities flaunt themselves as "gay-friendly" in a directory published by the Conference of Catholic Lesbians. These speakers and institutions are in just as good standing with the Church as so-called "orthodox" Catholic pundits and writers.

After John Paul II, the Catholic Church is virtually indistinguishable from the Anglican Communion. Everyone has their seat at the table, liberal and conservative, high church and low. The "official" teaching of the Church may lean toward religious conservatism, but this is just one option out of many which a loyal Catholic may avail himself of and remain in good standing with his Church.

The late Pope's governance of his church was laissez-faire, he personally adhering to conservative Catholic orthodoxy but not wishing to impose such on Catholic clergy or institutions. Ironically, the Papacy has been rather critical of governments who take such approaches to their economies; should it be the model for a church which regards itself as the one true religion?

The canonization of Pope John Paul II is an issue which concerns not only Catholics, but all traditionalist conservatives. For better or for worse (depending on one's religious outlook), the Catholic Church is the largest religious institution on the planet, and historically regarded as a fairly conservative one. The Washington Times recently named Pope Benedict the de facto leader of world conservatism. Just as conservatives do not wish to see their foundational principles redefined by the nomination and election of conservatives-in-name-only, so the canonization of the late Pope would represent (among other things) his church's influential imprimatur on a model of Christian pastorship that has eroded the foundational conservative principles of one of the world's oldest and most venerable conservative institutions.

As noted earlier, the Papacy is the third-rail of orthodox Catholic discourse. The respect Catholics have for the Papal institution renders the living or recent claimants of that seat virtually impervious to criticism, as if such critique automatically rendered one implacably uncharitable or schismatic. When civil society regains its conservative bearings, history will not be kind to what any unbiased observer must regard as the gross pastoral negligence of the 21st century's first Pope; if Catholics want to come out of the present cultural quagmire with their intellectual integrity intact, they must fearlessly shed the light of truth on that Pontiff's pastorship, and be sure to end up on the right side of history's verdict.

John Paul II does not deserve to be called a « saint » by American lips and in American soil because he was the leader of the worst crime against Catholic children in the 20th century.

Zenit.org should shut down – it’s operated by the Legion of Christ whose founder, Fr. Marcial Maciel is member of John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army

Zenit.org “the World seen from Rome” is one of the “holiest” website of Catholicism. http://www.zenit.org/ Its style of writing about the Holy Father and his daily pompous activities at the Vatican can sometimes transport the reader into Catholic ecstasy. After subscribing for a couple of months to its daily news when it first started, there was “something wrong” that we couldn’t pin point, somehow, their holiness was slimy and always escaped us. But now it is clearer. Zenit is founded, not on rock, but on shifting sand. Their founder Fr. Marcial Maciel is the most prominent member of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. In this first week of March, two Mexican men spoke on Mexican radio that « Father Maciel Is Our Father And He Molested Us ». See article below.


The book “Vow of Silence” and the website, ReGAIN, http://www.regainnetwork.org/ have helped enlighten us about the truth of who Fr. Marcial Maciel, the founder of the Legion of Christ which operate Zenit. ReGAIN is the unique website that exposes the evils of the Legion of Christ.

Zenit’s dictum is “The World seen from Rome”. John Allen Jr’s former column was “The Word from Rome” (when he lived in Rome, now he lives in New York and it is “All things Catholic” in NCR) – Do you notice the 2 nice partners of Rome and partners for Rome? Zenit and Opus Dei are partners in propagating the papacy because they control the media for the Pope. Opus Dei now controls the Vatican Radio and the soon to be Vatican Television. Zenit’s journalists are members of the Legion of Christ and also Opus Dei, and John Allen Jr. is the Vaticanista of Opus Dei (title of the “official” books of Opus Dei)

ReGAIN continues to reveal the evils of Fr. Marcial Maciel just as ODAN is the unique website that exposes the evils of Opus Dei see www.ODAN.org and http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-allen-defender-of-vatican.html. Our weblogs exposes the evils of John Paul II and why he must njavascript:void(0)ot be called a “saint” especially in America and Catholic countries, and we also expose the evils of Benedict XVI and the Opus Dei who controlled the 26 years papacy of John Paul II and condoned and covered-up the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army see http://jp2army.blogspot.com/.

Zenit should shut down because it is founded on the “sand of sins” of its founder Fr. Marcial Maciel who was a serial pedophile priest. News about his pedophile abuses continue to grow. This first week of March, a Mexican woman claims she has 2 kids with him. During a radio interview Wednesday, Lara Gutierrez charged that Maciel, who died in 2008 at age 87, sexually abused one of his two sons with her as well as a son she had from a previous relationship. The sons, now adults named Jose Raul and Omar, said the abuse went on for years. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jUvagNBIbUW667fgWWx3Vhx6JHfAD9E7FSHG1 . John Paul II personally travelled with him and praised him profusely in public. Fr. Marcial Maciel was the foremost members of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. http://jp2army.blogspot.com/

Excerpts from Vatican investigates Legionaries of Christ

Maciel, who died last year at 87, was the greatest fundraiser of the modern church. He courted rich supporters in building dozens of elite prep schools and several seminaries and universities, backed by a 60,000-member lay group called Regnum Christi (Kingdom of Christ). The Legion and RC distribute promotional videos in which Pope John Paul II appears with Maciel, celebrating the movement’s resurgent orthodoxy.

Harvard Law professor Mary Ann Glendon, the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican under the last President Bush, scoffed at the abuse allegations Maciel faced before his punishment. So did William Donahue of the Catholic League.

Father Maciel Is Our Father, Say Two Mexican Men, And He Molested Us

MEXICO
ABC News
By JASON BERRY
MEXICO CITY March 5, 2010

Excerpts
Father Marcial Maciel, founder of the powerful Catholic religious order the Legion of Christ, was banned from active ministry by Pope Benedict in 2006 after testimony from more than 20 men that he molested them when they were teens.

Now Maciel's reputation has been further tarnished by accusations made Wednesday by two Mexican men who say they are his sons, and that Maciel sexually abused them when they were young.

The allegations come as Vatican investigators, already looking into charges that Maciel misused funds and fathered up to six children, are about to deliver their findings to Pope Benedict.

After founding the Legion of Christ in Mexico in 1941, Maciel built a vast network of schools, colleges, seminaries and lucrative real estate holdings. At its peak the Legion had an annual budget of $650 million, more than 650 priests and 60,000 followers in an affiliated lay group also founded by Maciel, Regnum Christi. Its pockets were so deep that Mexicans sometimes called the order the "Millionarios de Cristo."

Pope John Paul II championed the Legion for its unswerving orthodoxy (and Maciel's fundraising prowess), and in 1994 called Maciel "an efficacious guide to youth." The Legion sold videocasettes with stirring images of Maciel with John Paul at a papal audience, the Pope nodding approvingly and smiling at Maciel as Legion followers cheered.

More abuse allegations against Legionaries' founder surface in Mexico

MEXICO
U.S. Catholic
By David Agren, Catholic News Service

MEXICO CITY (CNS) -- Many in Mexico -- and beyond -- know Father Marcial Maciel as the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, an influential Catholic order famed for its elite schools and well-heeled followers.

Blanca Estela Lara Gutierrez came to know him in Tijuana by the alias "Raul Rivas," who, she said, "wanted to have a family" and, at various times, masqueraded as either a private detective or a CIA agent.

Her three sons, Jose Raul, Omar and Cristian, came to know Father Maciel as "Dad."
On March 3, the family went public with unflattering details of their life with Father Maciel. Lara told Mexico City radio host Carmen Aristegui of MVS Radio that she and Father Maciel were a couple for some 25 years and raised three sons -- one of whom, Cristian, was not his biological child.

Vaticano Spa (Vatican Ltd): John Paul II was the CEO of the trillion dollar Vatican Bank’s murky financial dealings

Immediately after John Paul II’s death, Benedict XVI, as the newly elected pope, removed the 5-year waiting period for a proper investigation of sainthood into the life of John Paul II. Last December, he elevated John Paul II as “Venerable” meaning he lived a life of heroic virtues. It was exactly the same time that the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army erupted in Ireland. See http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2010/01/biggest-vatican-stories-of-decade-john.html

In 2005, at the same time that Benedict XVI was hastily paving John Paul II’s speedy canonization, 7 of Europe’s most prominent theologians sent him a special letter proving John Paul II’s disqualifications for sainthood. These theologians were silenced see first article in our weblogs http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html.

John Paul II’s mishandling of the Vatican Bank was one of those reasons why he does not qualify to be a saint.

A investigative book has surfaced as a bestseller in Italy, Vatican Spa or Vatican Limited, and it cites John Paul II’s role in the corrupt Vatican Bank..

We post both articles for your perusal.

Benedict XVI is in a hurry to canonize John Paul II because it is a political strategy to revive the political clout of the papacy and the Vatican. It is up to us Catholics to prevent this from happening. We can see now, in hindsight, that John Paul II did not have the charity of Mother Teresa. He never “saw Christ” in anyone of the victims of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army which he led for over 26 years, the longest papacy (next to the martyr St. Peter). Mother Teresa “saw Christ” among the dying non-Christian Hindus of Calcutta. John Paul II traveled all over the world and he did not “see Christ”, not even once, among the Catholic children who were survivors pedophile priests.

Comments from “The Vatican's Dirty Secrets: Bribery, Money Laundering and Mafia Connections”

---About the sanity of those who worship the pope dude as an infallible demigod. He parades around in a getup that's so expensive it would make Armani's best seem like something out of the Goodwill thrift store. The outrageous opulence of the churches themselves speaks of almost unlimited wealth. Then there's that palace at the Vatican. It makes the White House look like a tarpaper shack in comparison. I have to wonder how much better off the mostly dirt-poor subjects of this ongoing scam would be if the wealth of the church was evenly divided among them.

---Since the "birth" of "organized religion" it has been used to calm the masses and rip them off! These are the same people that heralded the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, and hide the priests from justice!

And yet they wonder why they are loosing credibility?!?!?! HELLO!

---It wouldn't be surprising when you consider the amount of collection plates needed to generate money to properly maintain that palatial estate in Rome.

Vatican's conspiracy of silence

ITALY
Guardian (United Kingdom)
Roberto Mancini guardian.co.uk, Sunday 28 February 2010

Vaticano Spa (Vatican Ltd) a book about the murky financial dealings of the Catholic church (The subtitle reads: "from a secret archive – the truth about the church's financial and political scandals") has been a runaway success in Italy. Written by journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi and published by the Milan independent publisher Chiarelettere last year, more than 200,000 copies have been sold.

What's all the more astonishing is that this success has been in spite of being ignored by almost all the Italian media, with the exception of a single television programme on La 7, hosted by Gad Lerner.

Why the conspiracy of silence surrounding an Italian bestseller? Why aren't television, newspapers and magazines celebrating the success of a colleague? After all, Nuzzi has written for the Berlusconi family-owned weekly Panorama and now is a journalist for the daily Libero, considered to be the prime minister's house journal.

The explanation, according to Nuzzi, whom I asked for a comment for this article, lies in the subject matter:

"We thought that Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II), as he had promised, would have sorted out the Vatican finances after the scandal of Cardinal Marcinkus and the IOR (the pope's bank).

"But during the 80s and 90s, the whole system of shady deals and bribes was inherited by Marcinkus's successors and became increasingly dishonest and cynical. The pope knew about it, but did nothing to remove the heads of this power network.

"The book, Vaticano Spa, steps inside the sacred palaces and uncovers secrets thanks to the huge archive bequeathed by monsignor Renato Dardozzi, who was summoned to join the 'perestroika' working on the Holy See's finances. My inquiry, which has the merit of not being anti-clerical, was considered the best selling non-fiction title in Italy for 2009 by the American Nielsen ratings.

"But, owing to some form of self-censorship, the television networks have ignored it, possibly because the church still inspires unconditional obsequiousness and fearful reverence. A lost opportunity because this is the first time that the most reserved documents from the pope's bank have been made available."

Aside from the desire not to offend the church, there are underlying political reasons that explain the reluctance of Berlusconi's private and the state-controlled public television channels to publicise this model of journalistic inquiry.

To summarise. For 20 years, until 2007, the CEI (the permanent Episcopal Conference of Italian Bishops) was ruled by cardinal Camillo Ruini, the vicar-general of the diocese of Rome. In Ruini's view, the church should be a pro-Berlusconi political party and he sought out and created ties both with the Northern League with its pantomime paganism and with the so-called "pious atheists" – ie, some of Berlusconi's most fervent supporters in the press. The most influential among these are Giuliano Ferrara, the founder and editor of Il Foglio (which belongs to Veronica Lario, the soon-to-be-divorced Mrs Berlusconi) and Vittorio Feltri, the editor-in-chief of Il Giornale (which belongs to Berlusconi's brother).

Ruini's successor, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, believed his predecessor was too openly favourable towards centre-right extremists. Furthermore, Berlusconi's involvement in endless sex scandals and his unbridled lifestyle had become a source of embarrassment to the church. As a result, Bertone encouraged Avvenire, the CEI's daily paper to distance itself from Berlusconi's hedonism, scandals and pending legal problems.

Alarmed that the church was considering an alliance with a future PDL (Berlusconi's party) but excluding Berlusconi himself, the "pious atheists" – the prime minister's National Guards – rode to the rescue.

Vittorio Feltri wrote a front page editorial in his newspaper demanding (and obtaining) the resignation of the editor of l'Avvenire, Dino Boffo. Boffo was accused of hypocrisy for daring to criticise Berlusconi's lifestyle while he himself had been involved in a case of homosexual harassment. The accusation proved false, but Feltri raised the stakes by insinuating he had been informed of the forged document against Boffo by a Vatican source. The mysterious informer was apparently someone in the entourage of Giovanni Maria Vian, the very powerful editor-in-chief of the Vatican daily paper, l'Osservatore Romano.

Against such a background, Nuzzi's outstanding investigation and its astonishing revelations (such as secret accounts registered to charities for research into leukaemia but used to protect high-profile clients) have become a pawn in the gang war in the Curia which Berlusconi's most fanatical supporters have every interest in exacerbating.

Meanwhile the church's unlawful activities, as revealed by the book, seem neither to bother nor to scandalise many people in Italy, perhaps because since the days of Luther, Italian cynics know that the church is an organ of power and that it has little to do with religious sentiment.

How the Vatican sold its soul

A new book by the journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi lays bare a history of political bribes being paid through the Vatican's central bank

The Vatican appears to have an enduring vocation for Italian political and financial scandal. Secrecy and intrigue were the order of the day when American archbishop Paul Marcinkus held sway in the Bastion of Nicholas V, the medieval tower housing the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR), the Vatican's central bank.

The requirements of a clandestine global struggle against atheist communism may explain the choice of business partners such as Michele Sindona and Roberto Calvi, whose mafia links and ruinous bankruptcies brought lasting discredit on the Catholic church three decades ago.

The Vatican hoped that a goodwill payment of $240m to the creditors of Calvi's Banco Ambrosiano's would salve its conscience and erase the memory of Marcinkus's inept and dishonest banking practices. We were led to believe that a new broom, wielded by the lay banker Angelo Caloia, had since swept the premises of the IOR.

The process of reform has been slower and more painful than previously thought, however, to judge by a new book, Vaticano Spa ("Vatican Ltd"), by the journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi. According to Nuzzi, despite the best efforts of Caloia, a cavalier attitude to financial ethics appears to have continued well into the 1990s, with huge political bribes being laundered through the IOR and funds donated for charitable purposes or to pay for masses for the souls of the dead being casually misappropriated by the bank's administrators.

Nuzzi's allegations are based on internal IOR documents, more than 4,000 in all, that were smuggled out of the Vatican by a disgruntled employee. This unique violation of IOR confidentiality was made possible by an unlikely whistleblower, Monsignor Renato Dardozzi. An electronic engineer who held a top job at the state telecommunications company, Dardozzi discovered his vocation late in life and was ordained a priest at the age of 52.

He worked in the IOR under Marcinkus, participated in the joint Vatican/Italian commission that examined the IOR's role in the Ambrosiano saga, and witnessed Caloia's uphill struggle against the personnel and practices of the Marcinkus era.

Monsignor Donato De Bonis, who served as secretary general under Marcinkus, continued to work under the new regime.

In 1987, according to Nuzzi, De Bonis set up the Cardinal Francis Spellman Foundation, with its own account at the IOR. Signatories on the account included De Bonis himself. During its first six years of operation the account received some 50bn lire (£22m) and paid out 43bn.

The choice of the staunchly anti-communist Spellman as "patron" of the fund is interesting. The well-connected cardinal of New York earned the sobriquet "money-bags" for his fund-raising skills and earmarked significant sums for Italy's Christian Democrat party during the cold war years.

The Spellman fund seems to have been administered by De Bonis with promiscuous generosity. A variety of convents and clerics were to benefit, with payments ranging from the modest 1m lire paid to five mother superiors, to the $50,000 sent to the auxiliary bishop of Skopje-Prizen, for the Albanian-speaking faithful, and the $1m delivered to Cardinal Lucas Moreira Neves, the archbishop of Sao Salvador de Bahia in Brazil.

There were also payments of a more personal nature: 100m lire for one of the lawyers of Giulio Andreotti, the veteran Christian Democrat politician, $134,000 for a conference on Cicero in New York sponsored by the former prime minister, and even a 60m lire payment to Severino Citaristi, a former treasurer of the Christian Democrat party convicted on corruption charges.

Part of the massive Enimont bribe, paid to politicians to secure their approval for a reorganisation of the chemicals sector, was also bounced through the Spellman fund, according to Nuzzi. But Caloia and Dardozzi chose discretion over transparency when questioned about it by prosecutors from Milan. "Despite the full collaboration promised and publicised in the press, they limit themselves to referring only what can no longer be concealed," Nuzzi writes.

It is interesting to note that Dardozzi's motive for turning whistleblower was not unalloyed disapproval of the IOR's unethical conduct. His decision to smuggle his secret archive out of the Vatican was motivated, at least in part, by anger at the institute's refusal to pay him a commission on the sale of a valuable real estate property near Florence. The unusual monsignor wanted to leave the money to his adoptive daughter, whose health condition required expensive hospital treatment.

Whatever the reason, Dardozzi's archive offers an unprecedented glimpse of the inner workings of one of the world's most secretive and unaccountable financial institutions. The idea that a noble end – winning the cold war or funding one's favourite charity – justifies almost any means, still seems to endure at the pope's bank in the Nicholas V Tower.

Vatican gets huge donations from struggling Irish businessmen (but not towards Pope’s trip to Britain)

VATICAN CITY
National Secular Society (United Kingdom)

Irish builders and bankers who have reigned over a catastrophic virtual collapse in the country’s economy donated nearly €9m to the Vatican last year. Among those named as donors were property developers whose loans have been taken over by the state-run National Assets Management Agency (NAMA). Property developers Derek Quinlan, Treasury Holdings' Johnny Ronan, Ballymore Properties' Sean Mulryan and Paddy McKillen, one of the so called "Anglo 10" all made significant donations.

The Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums published recently reveals that these troubled property developers provided ‘financial support’ for the restoration of the historic Pauline Chapel in the Vatican Museum.

Fellow donors included former Anglo Irish bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick and the controversial former boss of Irish Nationwide Michael Fingleton. Other donors included Digicel owner Denis O’Brien and William Bollinger, the Irish co-founder of the €3bn Egerton Capital Hedge Fund.
