Archbishop: “Corrupt Vatican abuse its powers”

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is the apostolic nuncio to the United States. In several letters to the Pope, He accuse the Vatican of corruption.

Vatican officials have dismissed as baseless the accusations of “corruption and abuse of power” made in letters by archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò who is now apostolic nuncio to the United States.

The Vatican statement did not acknowledge several other recently published letters apparently written by Archbishop Viganò. But it seemed to contest certain charges made in one of those letters, dated April 4 2011, and addressed to Pope Benedict.

That letter alleged “corruption” in the granting of contracts to outside vendors. “Jobs were always given to the same companies,” it said, “at a cost that was double that of similar work carried out outside the Vatican.”

In a statement released by the Vatican yesterday, Cardinal-designate Giuseppe Bertello and Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, the current and immediate past presidents of the Governorate of Vatican City State, described as a “cause of great sadness” the recent “unlawful publication” by Italian journalists of two letters addressed to Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state.

My comment:

It can never be unlawful by a journalist, to expose corruption in the Vatican. It is a disgrace, if Italian journalist do not quote from written letters from an Archbishop to the Pope.

Martin Luther addressed his Pope Leo X as ” Your excellence”, believing that the Pope would be able to bring an end to the corrupt practices of Cardinals and Bishops in Germany. Luther got a major shock when he discovered that the Pope demanded that the whistleblower should be arrested, rather than the criminals.

Luther came to the conclusion that the Vatican is corrupt, and called the Pope an antichrist.  Nothing if anything has changed in the corridors of power in the Vatican. Spiritual prostitution will never be bless by the Holy Spirit. Some of the obvious manifestations are corruption, abuse of power and rape of alter boys in their tens of thousands.

 Luke 16:13
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

Some Roman Catholic might listen and repent. They have to ask Jesus for mercy. Only He can saved them from the eternal flames of Hell.
