As Amnesty International in Ireland releases its report in more than 400 pages of documentation, that the Vatican clergy's abuse of children “included acts that amounted to torture and inhuman and degrading treatment”, Benedict XVI announced in his pompous state visit in Germany 'the building of a Catholic network and the "Mission Metropolis" project due to organise a unifying religious date in 12 large European cities in 2012'. Benedict XVI is really out-of-touch with regards to his Crimes against Humanity during the last quarter of the 20th Century when he reigned as the mighty Cardinal Joseph Ratzigner. He can go on wearing the Emperor's clothes with his papal mitre and white papal robes, but he is definitely a criminal as seen in the eyes of Amnesty International and in the eyes of victims, the tens of thousands of children sexually abused in epic proportions by the JP2 Army named aptly after John Paul II who had 27 years, together with Cardinal Ratzinger, who said and did nothing to stop the Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions of the 20th century. Because of Amnesty International's pursuant of the Vatican and Benedict XVI as committing Crimes against Humanity, we will now likewise call the JP2 Army as the Vatican Army and the B16 Army of Pedophile Priests , see our related blogs here http://jp2army.blogspot.com/, http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/
The "Mission Metropolis" may sound impressive except that Benedict XVI is running out of mask every time he speaks before the world that he is really sounding like the little boy who cried Wolf, Wolf, three times that nobody believed him in the end. This time Benedict XVI used Hitler as his mask when he spoke before the German Parliament, because by speaking how bad Hitler and the Nazis were, Benedict "appeared" to be like a the good guy, read our related article here http://popecrimes.blogspot.com/2011/09/benedict-xvi-uses-hitler-to-divert.html All legal means are being used by the victims abused by pedophile priests to nail the coffin on Benedict XVI to be guilty as charged because he was really the partner of John Paul II as they both together reigned for over a quarter of a century at the Vatican and they both absolutely nothing to stop the JP2 Army of Pedophile Priests .
The pontiff's four-day state visit to his original homeland of Germany proves that he is really out-of-touch with the reality as he continue to cover-up the Vicious Vatican Cycle of Crimes which the Irish Prime Minister aptly described: the Cloyne Report excavates the dysfunction, disconnection, elitism....the narcissism .......that dominate the culture of the Vatican to this day. The rape and torture of children were downplayed or ‘managed’ to uphold instead, the primacy of the institution, its power, standing and ‘reputation’. Far from listening to evidence of humiliation and betrayal with St Benedict’s “ear of the heart”......the Vatican’s reaction was to parse and analyse it with the gimlet eye of a canon lawyer.’.
The eyes of religion and secularism are of opposing ends. The Vatican and its allies are portraying Benedict XVI as a Holy Father while the secular insitution of Amnesty International and the victims of the Vatican Army of Pedophile Priests see him as a criminal, read our related article

From CCR - Major Human Rights Report Affirms That Sexual Abuse by the Clergy is “Torture, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment”
Center for Constitutional Rights
Posted by Ccr on September 26, 2011
CCR Welcomes Amnesty International Report in Wake of Sept. 13 International Criminal Court Filing Against the Pope and Top Vatican Officials, Seeking Accountability for Clergy Sexual Abuse
NEW YORK, September 26, 2011 – In response to the release of a major human rights report on clerical sexual abuse, released today by Amnesty International in Ireland, CCR issued the following statement from Pamela Spees, Senior Staff Attorney:
Amnesty International Ireland’s release today of a major human rights report on clergy sexual abuse marks another important step in the journey towards holding Vatican officials accountable for the systematic and widespread concealing of rape and child sex crimes throughout the world.
Indeed, as the Amnesty report makes clear in more than 400 pages of documentation, the abuse of children “included acts that amounted to torture and inhuman and degrading treatment.”
The Amnesty International report, titled In Plain Sight: Responding to the Ferns, Ryan, Murphy and Cloyne Reports, includes a summary of four previous investigations into abuse by clergy in Ireland, which were also summarized and discussed in CCR’s September 13th complaint to the International Criminal Court.
According to Colm O’Gorman, Executive Director of Amnesty International Ireland, “The abuse of tens of thousands of Irish children is perhaps the greatest human rights failure in the history of the state. Much of the abuse described in the Ryan Report meets the legal definition of torture under international human rights law.”
The report makes clear what happens when governmental authorities cede their responsibility to respect, protect and fulfill the rights of vulnerable children and adults to a church that can’t be trusted with it, or with their children.
On behalf of CCR, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, and all survivors of clergy sexual abuse, we welcome this further validation of those whose lives were devastated and betrayed by those they trusted most.
In the coming months, CCR will continue to gather information and evidence of additional crimes of rape and sexual violence and associated cover ups by the Catholic Church. We continue to urge all members of the clergy, church officials, and anyone else with information about sexual violence against children to come forward. The 22,000 pages of evidence presented in the ICC filing is only a small fraction of the evidence already available. Far more must exist given the nature and magnitude of these crimes and the reach of the church. Hundreds of current and former Vatican employees have information about sexual assaults against children. Silence is complicity. It's time for church employees at every level to search their consciences and share their knowledge of these crimes and cover ups.

Can the pope recapture Europe?
EUROPE
The Guardian (United Kingdom)
Massimo Franco
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 27 September 2011
On 21 September 2010, Benedict XVI officially declared that the west needed a "new evangelisation" . This was news in itself. It was viewed as an admission of the weakness of the Catholic church, and not a temporary one; and the acknowledgement that today's Catholicism represents a minority in western countries, and a shrinking one. But in a more general perspective, this was a major "geo-religious" step for the pontiff.
The pope is convinced of the strategic relation between Christianity and Europe as its natural geographic and cultural ground for proselytism. And he wants this relation to be reasserted and improved. When, in June 2010, he announced his plans for a new ministry to revive religion, no details were given of its structure, content and goals. There was no secret: the Vatican knew it had to deal urgently with that problem, but hadn't yet figured out how to accomplish this mission. Benedict XVI just felt something very radical had to be done.
It has to fight against the slippery enemy of what the Vatican perceives as "the supremacy of the fragments": a cultural approach which tends to isolate and disperse western societies, and by consequence also Catholics: a sort of "grassroots relativism". The first task Fisichella has given to himself and his ministry has been to recall that "do-it-yourself Catholicism" is not a solution to the crisis of the faith. On the contrary, it represents a major danger. It is viewed as the wrong answer to confronting modern times and to adapting to them. The Catholic recipe is to follow the pope's teachings and those of the bishops' conferences; and to reunite a Catholic "army" disoriented and eroded by secularism, painfully hit by sex abuse scandals and the competition both from evangelical Christianity and Islam.
But how? The controversy that greeted Benedict XVI on his visit to Germany is another danger sign. The visit was preceded by a book on the de-Christianization of Germany: Gesellschaft ohne Gott, (A Society Without God)by sociologist Andreas Puttman. "The religious implosion will have epochal dimensions in the long run", he writes.
Furthermore, the Vatican daily Osservatore Romano remarked on 20 September that there are currently more practising Muslims than Catholics in France. Geopolitics and religion don't seem to walk arm-in-arm in Europe. The Vatican's assumption that without Catholicism the west is destined to decline is not as widely shared as might appear.
A further source of misunderstanding is the disconnection between the Vatican and a number of European governments on the handling of sex abuse scandals. The building of a Catholic network and the "Mission Metropolis" project due to organise a unifying religious date in 12 large European cities in 2012, seems aimed at showing that the strength is still there: forces must just be recollected and reoriented. "Identity" is the key word. But which identity? Today's Europe seems the motherland not of a united Catholicism, but of Catholics belonging to different national tribes. This may be a great opportunity, or a persistent handicap.

COMMENTS
The Vatican's problems are entirely of its own making, and are particularly associated with the tenure of Benedict XVI. An organization which purports to provide moral leadership to a global community numbering in hundreds of millions has shown itself interested in anything but, instead devoting its efforts to covering up the crimes of its own hierarchy. The sexual abuse of children in Ireland (and other countries) and the ongoing refusal to take responsibility or assist legal authorities in the pursuit of justice against the perpetrators of such crimes is a symbol of this combined hubris and arrogance.
The Vatican's declining influence is entirely down to its promotion of its own interests over that of ordinary Catholics who have become increasingly disgusted and despairing over its actions.
---
Apart from helping Nazzi war criminals escape justice after 1945 by smuggling them to South America with Vatican passports, providing money laundering services to the Italian Mafia in the 1970s and 80s, and disrupting Irish investigations into the rape and torture of children in the 90s and naughties, what exactly have been the practical consequences of the Vatican having convinced Mussolini to make it a sovereign state?

Benedict used Hitler as mask in German Parliament. Nazis and Vatican are a “band of robbers”
Updated September 26, 2011
Benedict in his first and last speech to the German Parliament used Hitler as his mask and and the Nazi Regime as his shield to divert world attention away from his own Crimes against Humanity at The Hague. And he had lots of help from his cooperators in high places, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Christian Wulff and their associates, read our related article Hague Is Asked to Investigate Vatican Over Child Abuse.

The Rule of Benedict XVI and the Vicious Vatican Circle of Crime
If every criminal on Earth used the same blame-game strategy of the Rule of Benedict XVI and the same Vicious Vatican Circle of Crime in the Sacrament of Confession, all court houses including The Hague and all jails would be completely empty -- criminals and despots like Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi would simply say like Benedict XVI, “The Devil made me do it”…then they’d follow the Vicious Vatican Circle of Crime in the Sacrament of Confession by talking to a sinful priest in a booth where their crimes are instantly forgiven and forgotten by the (GAY or pedophile) priest, and their penance would be the usual quickie recitation of a Hail Mary or Glory Be and then they’d go scot-free, free to roam again in the Vicious Vatican Circle of Crime to commit more evil like the JP2 Army, the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, read our blog http://jp2army.blogspot.com/

Benedict XVI the Pope pathological liar is half a century late
In his typical nature as the Pope pathological liar who lives out-of-touch with reality in his ivory tower at the Vatican Palace, Benedict XVI hid one important detail and he did not tell to the German Parliament the historical record of the Vatican and Pope Pius XII -- that they never spoke up against Hitler or the Nazis Regime during the entire Jewish Holocaust. Consequently, the German Parliament are kept in the dark that Benedict XVI angers Jewish groups for declaring “Venerable” Pius XII who did nothing during Holocaust… like John Paul II did nothing for clergy abuse http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/12/benedict-xvi-angers-jewish-groups-for.html

What Benedict XVI also hid from the German Parliament was the fact that Hitler was a Catholic and he and the Nazis were heavily supported by the Vatican Cardinals as seen in photos and videos here , see more videos here http://popecrimes.blogspot.com/2011/09/hague-is-asked-to-investigate-vatican.html

Benedict XVI preached against the Nazis`injustice but the fact is John Paul II is the Pope of Injustice of the 20th & 21st Century and Fr. Marcial Maciel should be excommunicated posthumously http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2010/10/john-paul-ii-is-pope-of-injustice-of.html
Benedict XVI is half a century late in speaking up against Nazis regime that’s dead and gone. Benedict XVI is behaving just like his predecessor John Paul II who apologized to the dead Galileo and to every dead victims in history possible who were harmed by the Vatican but he never once apologized to the more urgent alive victims of Fr. Marcial Maciel and Cardinal Bernard Law and to the hundreds of thousands of children harmed by the Priestly Sodomy of Biblical Proportions committed by his own JP2 Army, the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army who, like the Nazis, were born out of the Devil’s Bowels, read our related article, The Devil’s Bowels smell like roses at the Vatican http://jp2army.blogspot.com/2010/12/devils-bowels-smell-like-roses-in.html and John Paul smelled Devil`s Bowels as roses for 27 years as he deified Father Marcial Maciel and deified Cardinal Bernard Law http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/04/john-paul-smelled-devils-bowels-as.html
Benedict XVI the sorcerer, magician and deceiver of Kings and Queens and world leaders
Benedict XVI performed his sorcery and magic of reincarnating Christ into 60,000 little hosts or wafers at the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Benedict XVI proves that he has finally succeeded where the Devil failed when he tempted Christ in the mount – Luke 4:2, 5-7. “The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” and 5The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.” Benedict XVI cannot turn ‘stone into bread’ but he can turn the ‘host into Christ’!! and Benedict can make the rulers of this world worship him because he is a demi-god reincarnating God !!!
Benedict XVI is absolutely impotent and cannot scientifically change any matter into another substance and he cannot reincarnate dead cats and dead dogs either but he can reincarnate God into little bits of flesh in the hosts or wafers! Imagine that, the supposedly creator of the vast universe at the mercy of a sinful criminal ugly evil old pope, see the evil eyes of Benedict here http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2011/06/fr-murphy-in-evil-eyes-of-benedict-xvi.html Imagine that, how stupid Jesus Christ really is to let himself be at the mercy and command of every pedophile priests and sinful GAY priests, read our related article on the sorcerer Benedict VERSUS Holy Mary: Priests' transubstantiation instant reincarnation of Christ VERSUS Mary’s 9 months pregnancy& child birth http://stella0maris.blogspot.com/2010/01/magisterium-benedict-versus-holy-mary.html

The Swiss Guard Army solidify and signify the link between the Vatican and Switzerland….this will be brought to light eventually, but you read it here first.

Hitler, John Paul II and Osama bin Laden: Trio Evil Men
Last Christmas, at the happiest time of the year, we were inspired (compelled and obliged by a Higher Power) to write “The Nazis and the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army were both an inherently evil all-male elite hierarchy born from the Devil's bowels” http://jp2army.blogspot.com/2011/01/nazis-and-john-paul-ii-pedophiles.html It was a very unpleasant inspiration just like Paris Arrow’s vision of the death of John Paul II during World Youth Day in 2002, read the vision here The 9/11 Decade and the JP2 Millstone 9th anniversary of Paris Arrow's vision of the death of John Paul II at the World Youth Day http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/09/911-decade-and-jp2-millstones-9th.html. Our obedience to the Higher Power was blessed and proven right with the biggest coincidence or God-incidence ever with the May 1 beatification of John Paul II by Benedict XVI that coincided with the May 1 killing of Osama bin Laden that was ordered by President Obama to coincide with the May 1 announcement of the death of Hitler. Obviously, President Obama did not consult with Benedict XVI on this date and the Vatican had no clue (with their Holy Spirit monopoly) on how we would tie up these three evil men together, read our related article 9/11 victims 3,000. JP2 Army 100,000s. May Day: both Hitler and bin Laden Announced Dead on May 1 on John Paul II Beatification Day B-Day http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/05/911-victims-5000-jp2-army-100000s-may.html
And now we are proven right again -- with Benedict XVI speaking of Hitler and the Nazis and in his own words at the German parliament Benedict XVI was actually describing the Vatican regime.
The Nazis and the Vatican regimes are a “band of robbers”
Benedict spoke of the Nazi regime to the Bundenstag but he was actually describing the Vatican regime.
Benedict in his first (and last) speech to the German Parliament, he said that the NaziRegime was “a band of robber”. His exact words couldn’t describe better his own Vatican regime that has been a SECRET “band of robbers” for centuries as it ruled - and still do - in complicity with despots and world leaders who plundered the wealth of countries using the diplomatic immunity of Papal Nuncios who transported those ill-gotten wealth and hide them in the SECRET and safe Vatican (Swiss) Banks. No despot in the world ever succeeded without the help of the Vatican. History has proven this before our very eyes. The Spanish Kings and Queens succeeded in their 400 years colonization and plunder of the Philippines and South America only because the priests managed to brainwash and kept the people slaves to their Sacrament of Confession and Eucharist and threatened them with mortal sins and the fires of Hell if they did not obey God-or-the-Pope represented by the priests.

Benedict XVI smelled Devil’s Bowels as roses at the Vatican for over a quarter of a Century
Benedict XVI, just like John Paul II, smelled Devil’s Bowels like roses at the Vatican for a quarter of a century he said nothing and did nothing to stop the JP2 Army.
Benedict XVI as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger ruled the Vatican for a quarter of a century together with John Paul II and he proved himself as the most callous hearted Cardinal ever as he dined and wined with the poster boy serial pedophile, Fr. Marcial Maciel, the founder of the Legion of Christ, and with Cardinal Bernard Law who publicly admitted that he transferred 80 pedophile priests from one parish to another in Boston, was forced to resign as Cardinal only to be promoted him as Archpriest of the mother of all basilicas in Rome, the St. Mary Major. Like wise as his partner in crime John Paul II, these two men are the Achilles Heels of Benedict XVI. Here is a video of the arrogant Cardinal Ratzinger slapping a journalist hand when asked about Fr. Marcial Maciel. Benedict XVI was forced to slap Maciel on the wrist because Maciel’s mistress and biological sons refused to sell their souls to the Vatican Bank but came out in Mexican television to reveal their sufferings, read our related article here.

Why should the wealthiest nation of the European Union (who bailed out Greece from bankruptcy) and German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Christian Wulff be interested in defending an old pope who lives in a one-building medieval castle of the Vatican with a handful of some 400 men-only who are all purportedly celibates (but practicing homosexual activities) and this old man forbids the presence and existence of children in his own “country” the Vatican? The answer is one word: money. Germany and all countries and all multi-national corporations need a semi-god pope to protect their hidden wealth using uninterrupted “diplomatic immunity” worldwide and people will not question this old man’s movement (and crimes against humanity) but simply fear him and their own soul’s salvation from Hell. Napoleon said, "“Religion is what keeps the poor man from murdering the rich. Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet”.

LAWYERS FOR a man abused as a child by Fr Andrew Ronan have said internal Vatican documents show “policy and protocol” surrounding clerical abuse in the Catholic church ultimately rests with the Holy See.
The alleged victim, John V Doe as he is known in court documents, is seeking to hold the Vatican liable for allegedly being abused by the late Fr Ronan in 1965 or early 1966 when he was 15 or 16 years old.
He brought the case against the Vatican over nine years ago relating to abuse he alleged suffered by the former priest who died in 1992. ...
He cited two letters, one of which references Fr Ronan’s time in a seminary in Ireland where he engaged in “homosexuality with the students”, a discovery made in 1959 after which he was moved to the US. Marci A Hamilton, counsel of record to the law firm and a legal scholar, said that documentation released by the Vatican, showed proof of the Catholic Church’s “pattern and practice of secrecy”.
“They require secrecy – secrecy is required for child sex abuse from the top down. These documents further support that,” Ms Hamilton said.
“Basically they establish that secrecy is mandated from the top, that Andrew Ronan was part of the system that the Holy See controls, that they controlled him specifically and that could not possibly have left his position where he was abusing children . . . without direct decisions by the Holy See and the Pope himself.”

Understanding how Hitler used the Protocols for his own regime
"If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience." George Bernard Shaw
Hitler and his Nazi Party used the Protocols and his admirers still use them today for a blanket hatred of all Jews.This is what forms the basis of the antisemitic charges to reject even reading them. I contend that they should be read by everyone as a study in the genius of social engineering that we are witnessing today. However ,they should be read with an open mind and the material should not be used as an indictment against the Jewish peoples.A careful consideration should be given instead to the masonic structural influences in Hitler's pre war Germany .
It can be noted that they do lay a genius groundwork for control of society and even for a global governance.
Most notably they can be applied to the masonic structure model which is and has been the foundation of Fascist regimes.The Masonic rituals that I have read within my father in law's Lodge books convinced me that despite the neutral propaganda about masonry spouted on the recent plethora of television programs, Masonic Lodges do mimic and substitute themselves for organized mainstream religions.
The business prototype of Amway owned by the DeVos, who funded much of Blackwater, now XE,are but one example of how this new type of corporatism which relies on the masonic pyramidal model and works well to introduce and empower fascist type regimes.

Hitler was able to use the Protocols to exterminate Jews because the banking system in Germany was an apparent target for all the financial woes Germans were enduring at the time though job loss and an economic recession. I find it hard to believe that the average religious Jew in Germany was so indifferent to the threat that was brewing. Rather, I would point the finger at the greed of unscrupulous businessmen Jew ,Catholic, and atheist alike who most likely were part of masonic lodges.The majority of people join Masonry to advance their careers and business prospects.
I am saddened to say that this same type of structure was introduced into the Catholic Church via Opus Dei and Pope John Paul II.Remember that a main break from Catholic tradition was incorporated into Opus Dei whose priests go to Laymen for "Spiritual Direction".

Please note the commentary of a former high ranking member of Miles Jesu in his testimony below. The same can be said for the Legion of Christ and it's infamous founder Marcial .The Legion is allegedly undergoing the same type of reformation that Miles Jesu underwent by the Vatican.In my humble opinion it will not be effectively restrained from continued corruption since the Corporate entities involved are a source of financial gains for all politically spiritually and financially are still too much a part of the reasons behind keeping it going.
In the account from a visit to Paraguay below the reader should evaluate also the Opus Dei influence in South America.It should be remembered too that the infamous Fr Urrutigoity who was expelled from Scranton Diocese for alleged pederasty and monies scammed for his proposed society of St John, Catholic City from devout Latin Catholics, is now under the safe harbor of an Opus Dei Bishop in Paraguay.Fr Urrutigoity's roots were in the SSPX known for it's holocaost denying Bishop Willaimson. Also, of note is that the last Nazi to be arrested and tried was Paul Touvier who was found hiding in an SSPX monastery in Nice, France.

"For instance supernumeraries and numeraries have what is called "fraternal chats" with other designated numeraries. This is technically separate and distinct from confession, but in reality there is little difference besides the actual absolution. In the "chat" the member is encouraged to tell this lay numerary, with "brutal honesty" everything that is going on in his spiritual life, etc. So they are basically confessing their sins to this layman who then, in a spirit of fraternity, dispenses "spiritual advice". You are supposed to "trust" this lay spiritual director, but there are no canonical protections of secrecy like there are in confession. There are no guarantees that what you share with this layman will not be shared with other numeraries. I'm sure the members have good intentions and most of this is benign in practice, but the abuses this practice opens itself up to are scary. These lay numeraries are not priests and do not have the charism of the priesthood to guide souls."
http://posthegemony.blogspot.com/2006/06/hitler.html
"But then there are Germans and there are Germans. And the topic of Nazis or former Nazis in South America is always a subject of intrigue and speculation: luridly fictionalized as The Boys from Brazil or The Odessa File, but on the basis of real cases such as most famously Eichmann's flight to and capture from Argentina. Josef Mengele, though he initially fled to Buenos Aires, spent signficant post-war time in Paraguay.
Still, I had either forgotten or repressed from my only previous visit to Paraguay the shock induced, this time, by noting the first day of my stay a Spanish translation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion on sale at a street corner kiosk. Or, a little later, just off one of Asunción's main squares, on the pavement outside a cybercafe, seeing two pencil drawings of Hitler on sale among the usual collection of secondhand textbooks and shabby novels. No irony, no self-consciousness as far as I could see: just a couple of portraits of the Führer, should I have wished to buy them as a souvenir of Paraguay.
I take it that most Paraguayan Germans shudder somewhat as I did in seeing such reminders of the Reich. Not least now that Germany itself is, with the World Cup, trying to rebrand itself beyond the clichés of either jackboots or dull efficiency. But perhaps more likely, these signs of history's unsavoriness merely blend in with their adopted country's long history of dictatorships (Doctor Francia "the Supreme" as well as that other son of Germany, Stroessner) and injudicious wars of aggression and catastrophic defeat."

In powerful address to German lawmakers, Pope warns of 'cultureless' Europe
September 22, 2011
http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=11827
Pope Benedict XVI gave a powerful defense of the natural-law tradition, and an equally powerful critique of moral relativism, in an address to lawmakers during the first day of his visit to Germany.
In his September 22 speech to the Bundestag, the Holy Father said that the Nazi regime illustrated how a government that does not recognize objective standards of justice can become a nightmare regime.
"Without justice, what else is the state but a great band of robbers?" the Pope asked, citing the words of St. Augustine. He continued:
We Germans know from our own experience that these words are no empty specter. We have seen how power became divorced from right, how power opposed right and crushed it, so that the state became an instrument for destroying right--a highly organized band of robbers, capable of threatening the whole world and driving it to the edge of the abyss.
At the opening of his address, the Pope said that he wanted to offer "some thoughts on the foundations of a free state of law." His remarks drew a loud standing ovation from the appreciative members of the Bundestag. About 50 members had boycotted the papal address.
The work of a politician, the Pope said, cannot be aimed simply at a successful career. He reminded his audience of the example of King Solomon, who asked God for the gift of wisdom in judgment. “Through this story,” the Pope said, “the Bible wants to tell us what should ultimately matter for a politician. His fundamental criterion and the motivation for his work as a politician must not be success, and certainly not material gain. Politics must be a striving for justice, and hence it has to establish the fundamental preconditions for peace.”
Justice, the Pontiff continued, cannot always be ensure by a demographic vote:
For most of the matters that need to be regulated by law, the support of the majority can serve as a sufficient criterion. Yet it is evident that for the fundamental issues of law, in which the dignity of man and of humanity is at stake, the majority principle is not enough.
The Pope observed that this point is illustrated by our admiration for the resistance movements that fought against the tyranny of the Nazi regime and other inhumane governments, “thereby thereby doing a great service to justice and to humanity as a whole. For these people, it was indisputably evident that the law in force was actually unlawful.”
Pope Benedict went on to explain the Church’s support for the natural-law tradition: a tradition that also has roots in Greek philosophy. He said:
Unlike other great religions, Christianity has never proposed a revealed body of law to the State and to society, that is to say a juridical order derived from revelation. Instead, it has pointed to nature and reason as the true sources of law.
The tradition of government based on the fundamental principles of natural law has been the basic foundation for the legal system of Germany and other European nations, the Pope said. However, that tradition is now imperiled:
The idea of natural law is today viewed as a specifically Catholic doctrine, not worth bringing into the discussion in a non-Catholic environment, so that one feels almost ashamed even to mention the term.
In the absence of natural-law reasoning, the Pope observed, politicians find it impossible to discern clear and objective standards of justice. Consequently, he said, there is a widespread perception “that an unbridgeable gulf exists between ‘is’ and ‘ought.’” Positivism, with its insistence that reason cannot bridge the gap between facts and values, undermines the tradition on which society is built.
The Pope warned tbe German lawmakers:
Where positivist reason considers itself the only sufficient culture and banishes all other cultural realities to the status of subcultures, it diminishes man, indeed it threatens his humanity. I say this with Europe specifically in mind…. with the result that Europe vis-à-vis other world cultures is left in a state of culturelessness and at the same time extremist and radical movements emerge to fill the vacuum.

Opus Dei wrote most of John Paul II’s books and writings and to ensure their perpetuity as “All things Catholic”, they want JP2 to be beatified and canonized now by Benedict XVI so as not to take any chances on other future popes.

If every criminal on Earth used the same blame-game strategy of the Rule of Benedict XVI and the same Vicious Vatican Circle of Crime in the Sacrament of Confession, all court houses including The Hague and all jails would be completely empty -- criminals and despots like Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi would simply say like Benedict XVI, “The Devil made me do it”…then they’d follow the Vicious Vatican Circle of Crime in the Sacrament of Confession by talking to a sinful priest in a booth where their crimes are instantly forgiven and forgotten by the (GAY or pedophile) priest, and their penance would be the usual quickie recitation of a Hail Mary or Glory Be and then they’d go scot-free, free to roam again in the Vicious Vatican Circle of Crime to commit more evil like the JP2 Army, the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, read our blog http://jp2army.blogspot.com/

Benedict XVI the Pope pathological liar is half a century late
In his typical nature as the Pope pathological liar who lives out-of-touch with reality in his ivory tower at the Vatican Palace, Benedict XVI hid one important detail and he did not tell to the German Parliament the historical record of the Vatican and Pope Pius XII -- that they never spoke up against Hitler or the Nazis Regime during the entire Jewish Holocaust. Consequently, the German Parliament are kept in the dark that Benedict XVI angers Jewish groups for declaring “Venerable” Pius XII who did nothing during Holocaust… like John Paul II did nothing for clergy abuse http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/12/benedict-xvi-angers-jewish-groups-for.html

Benedict XVI the sorcerer, magician and deceiver of Kings and Queens and world leaders
Benedict XVI performed his sorcery and magic of reincarnating Christ into 60,000 little hosts or wafers at the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Benedict XVI proves that he has finally succeeded where the Devil failed when he tempted Christ in the mount – Luke 4:2, 5-7. “The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” and 5The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.” Benedict XVI cannot turn ‘stone into bread’ but he can turn the ‘host into Christ’!! and Benedict can make the rulers of this world worship him because he is a demi-god reincarnating God !!!
Benedict XVI is absolutely impotent and cannot scientifically change any matter into another substance and he cannot reincarnate dead cats and dead dogs either but he can reincarnate God into little bits of flesh in the hosts or wafers! Imagine that, the supposedly creator of the vast universe at the mercy of a sinful criminal ugly evil old pope, see the evil eyes of Benedict here http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2011/06/fr-murphy-in-evil-eyes-of-benedict-xvi.html Imagine that, how stupid Jesus Christ really is to let himself be at the mercy and command of every pedophile priests and sinful GAY priests, read our related article on the sorcerer Benedict VERSUS Holy Mary: Priests' transubstantiation instant reincarnation of Christ VERSUS Mary’s 9 months pregnancy& child birth http://stella0maris.blogspot.com/2010/01/magisterium-benedict-versus-holy-mary.html

Last Christmas, at the happiest time of the year, we were inspired (compelled and obliged by a Higher Power) to write “The Nazis and the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army were both an inherently evil all-male elite hierarchy born from the Devil's bowels” http://jp2army.blogspot.com/2011/01/nazis-and-john-paul-ii-pedophiles.html It was a very unpleasant inspiration just like Paris Arrow’s vision of the death of John Paul II during World Youth Day in 2002, read the vision here The 9/11 Decade and the JP2 Millstone 9th anniversary of Paris Arrow's vision of the death of John Paul II at the World Youth Day http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/09/911-decade-and-jp2-millstones-9th.html. Our obedience to the Higher Power was blessed and proven right with the biggest coincidence or God-incidence ever with the May 1 beatification of John Paul II by Benedict XVI that coincided with the May 1 killing of Osama bin Laden that was ordered by President Obama to coincide with the May 1 announcement of the death of Hitler. Obviously, President Obama did not consult with Benedict XVI on this date and the Vatican had no clue (with their Holy Spirit monopoly) on how we would tie up these three evil men together, read our related article 9/11 victims 3,000. JP2 Army 100,000s. May Day: both Hitler and bin Laden Announced Dead on May 1 on John Paul II Beatification Day B-Day http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2011/05/911-victims-5000-jp2-army-100000s-may.html
And now we are proven right again -- with Benedict XVI speaking of Hitler and the Nazis and in his own words at the German parliament Benedict XVI was actually describing the Vatican regime.
The Nazis and the Vatican regimes are a “band of robbers”
Benedict spoke of the Nazi regime to the Bundenstag but he was actually describing the Vatican regime.
Benedict in his first (and last) speech to the German Parliament, he said that the NaziRegime was “a band of robber”. His exact words couldn’t describe better his own Vatican regime that has been a SECRET “band of robbers” for centuries as it ruled - and still do - in complicity with despots and world leaders who plundered the wealth of countries using the diplomatic immunity of Papal Nuncios who transported those ill-gotten wealth and hide them in the SECRET and safe Vatican (Swiss) Banks. No despot in the world ever succeeded without the help of the Vatican. History has proven this before our very eyes. The Spanish Kings and Queens succeeded in their 400 years colonization and plunder of the Philippines and South America only because the priests managed to brainwash and kept the people slaves to their Sacrament of Confession and Eucharist and threatened them with mortal sins and the fires of Hell if they did not obey God-or-the-Pope represented by the priests.

If we are to know that the Vatican has nothing at all to do with the liberation but oppression only of peoples, take a look at the Arab Spring that is now ablaze in the Middle East and Arab world and they do not use one word from the Bible nor the writings of John Paul II nor the words of Jesus Christ to free themselves from their kings and despots.

Benedict XVI smelled Devil’s Bowels as roses at the Vatican for over a quarter of a Century
Benedict XVI, just like John Paul II, smelled Devil’s Bowels like roses at the Vatican for a quarter of a century he said nothing and did nothing to stop the JP2 Army.
Benedict XVI as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger ruled the Vatican for a quarter of a century together with John Paul II and he proved himself as the most callous hearted Cardinal ever as he dined and wined with the poster boy serial pedophile, Fr. Marcial Maciel, the founder of the Legion of Christ, and with Cardinal Bernard Law who publicly admitted that he transferred 80 pedophile priests from one parish to another in Boston, was forced to resign as Cardinal only to be promoted him as Archpriest of the mother of all basilicas in Rome, the St. Mary Major. Like wise as his partner in crime John Paul II, these two men are the Achilles Heels of Benedict XVI. Here is a video of the arrogant Cardinal Ratzinger slapping a journalist hand when asked about Fr. Marcial Maciel. Benedict XVI was forced to slap Maciel on the wrist because Maciel’s mistress and biological sons refused to sell their souls to the Vatican Bank but came out in Mexican television to reveal their sufferings, read our related article here.

Why should the wealthiest nation of the European Union (who bailed out Greece from bankruptcy) and German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Christian Wulff be interested in defending an old pope who lives in a one-building medieval castle of the Vatican with a handful of some 400 men-only who are all purportedly celibates (but practicing homosexual activities) and this old man forbids the presence and existence of children in his own “country” the Vatican? The answer is one word: money. Germany and all countries and all multi-national corporations need a semi-god pope to protect their hidden wealth using uninterrupted “diplomatic immunity” worldwide and people will not question this old man’s movement (and crimes against humanity) but simply fear him and their own soul’s salvation from Hell. Napoleon said, "“Religion is what keeps the poor man from murdering the rich. Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet”. The Catholic Church teaches people to be “meek and humble” like Jesus by praying, “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine’ and "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Read our related article It is time for the French Revolution at the Vatican: Benedict XVI must resign, Cardinal Bernard Law et al must resign …Shut-down the Vatican http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2010/03/it-is-time-for-french-revolution-at.html

UNITED STATES

PAMELA DUNCAN
LAWYERS FOR a man abused as a child by Fr Andrew Ronan have said internal Vatican documents show “policy and protocol” surrounding clerical abuse in the Catholic church ultimately rests with the Holy See.
The alleged victim, John V Doe as he is known in court documents, is seeking to hold the Vatican liable for allegedly being abused by the late Fr Ronan in 1965 or early 1966 when he was 15 or 16 years old.
He brought the case against the Vatican over nine years ago relating to abuse he alleged suffered by the former priest who died in 1992. ...
He cited two letters, one of which references Fr Ronan’s time in a seminary in Ireland where he engaged in “homosexuality with the students”, a discovery made in 1959 after which he was moved to the US. Marci A Hamilton, counsel of record to the law firm and a legal scholar, said that documentation released by the Vatican, showed proof of the Catholic Church’s “pattern and practice of secrecy”.
“They require secrecy – secrecy is required for child sex abuse from the top down. These documents further support that,” Ms Hamilton said.
“Basically they establish that secrecy is mandated from the top, that Andrew Ronan was part of the system that the Holy See controls, that they controlled him specifically and that could not possibly have left his position where he was abusing children . . . without direct decisions by the Holy See and the Pope himself.”

Understanding how Hitler used the Protocols for his own regime
"If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience." George Bernard Shaw
Hitler and his Nazi Party used the Protocols and his admirers still use them today for a blanket hatred of all Jews.This is what forms the basis of the antisemitic charges to reject even reading them. I contend that they should be read by everyone as a study in the genius of social engineering that we are witnessing today. However ,they should be read with an open mind and the material should not be used as an indictment against the Jewish peoples.A careful consideration should be given instead to the masonic structural influences in Hitler's pre war Germany .
It can be noted that they do lay a genius groundwork for control of society and even for a global governance.
Most notably they can be applied to the masonic structure model which is and has been the foundation of Fascist regimes.The Masonic rituals that I have read within my father in law's Lodge books convinced me that despite the neutral propaganda about masonry spouted on the recent plethora of television programs, Masonic Lodges do mimic and substitute themselves for organized mainstream religions.
The business prototype of Amway owned by the DeVos, who funded much of Blackwater, now XE,are but one example of how this new type of corporatism which relies on the masonic pyramidal model and works well to introduce and empower fascist type regimes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme
Hitler was able to use the Protocols to exterminate Jews because the banking system in Germany was an apparent target for all the financial woes Germans were enduring at the time though job loss and an economic recession. I find it hard to believe that the average religious Jew in Germany was so indifferent to the threat that was brewing. Rather, I would point the finger at the greed of unscrupulous businessmen Jew ,Catholic, and atheist alike who most likely were part of masonic lodges.The majority of people join Masonry to advance their careers and business prospects.
I am saddened to say that this same type of structure was introduced into the Catholic Church via Opus Dei and Pope John Paul II.Remember that a main break from Catholic tradition was incorporated into Opus Dei whose priests go to Laymen for "Spiritual Direction".
http://books.google.com/books?id=5jxSf_2HSy4C&pg=PA5&lpg=PA5&dq=opus+dei+priests+have+lay+spiritual+directors&source=bl&ots=qO595R_u9h&sig=E29b46Lmafl9xzShfateujs5M3I&hl=en&ei=a5prTvrnGs7dgQei5JX6BQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDsQ6AEwBTgK#v=onepage&q=opus%20dei%20priests%20have%20lay%20spiritual%20directors&f=false
Please note the commentary of a former high ranking member of Miles Jesu in his testimony below. The same can be said for the Legion of Christ and it's infamous founder Marcial .The Legion is allegedly undergoing the same type of reformation that Miles Jesu underwent by the Vatican.In my humble opinion it will not be effectively restrained from continued corruption since the Corporate entities involved are a source of financial gains for all politically spiritually and financially are still too much a part of the reasons behind keeping it going.
In the account from a visit to Paraguay below the reader should evaluate also the Opus Dei influence in South America.It should be remembered too that the infamous Fr Urrutigoity who was expelled from Scranton Diocese for alleged pederasty and monies scammed for his proposed society of St John, Catholic City from devout Latin Catholics, is now under the safe harbor of an Opus Dei Bishop in Paraguay.Fr Urrutigoity's roots were in the SSPX known for it's holocaost denying Bishop Willaimson. Also, of note is that the last Nazi to be arrested and tried was Paul Touvier who was found hiding in an SSPX monastery in Nice, France.

Apparent too is the use of Laymen to guide alleged Catholics in Opus Dei that are no different than the practices of the other masonic structured cults like the Legion's Regnum Christi.

"For instance supernumeraries and numeraries have what is called "fraternal chats" with other designated numeraries. This is technically separate and distinct from confession, but in reality there is little difference besides the actual absolution. In the "chat" the member is encouraged to tell this lay numerary, with "brutal honesty" everything that is going on in his spiritual life, etc. So they are basically confessing their sins to this layman who then, in a spirit of fraternity, dispenses "spiritual advice". You are supposed to "trust" this lay spiritual director, but there are no canonical protections of secrecy like there are in confession. There are no guarantees that what you share with this layman will not be shared with other numeraries. I'm sure the members have good intentions and most of this is benign in practice, but the abuses this practice opens itself up to are scary. These lay numeraries are not priests and do not have the charism of the priesthood to guide souls."
http://posthegemony.blogspot.com/2006/06/hitler.html
"But then there are Germans and there are Germans. And the topic of Nazis or former Nazis in South America is always a subject of intrigue and speculation: luridly fictionalized as The Boys from Brazil or The Odessa File, but on the basis of real cases such as most famously Eichmann's flight to and capture from Argentina. Josef Mengele, though he initially fled to Buenos Aires, spent signficant post-war time in Paraguay.
Still, I had either forgotten or repressed from my only previous visit to Paraguay the shock induced, this time, by noting the first day of my stay a Spanish translation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion on sale at a street corner kiosk. Or, a little later, just off one of Asunción's main squares, on the pavement outside a cybercafe, seeing two pencil drawings of Hitler on sale among the usual collection of secondhand textbooks and shabby novels. No irony, no self-consciousness as far as I could see: just a couple of portraits of the Führer, should I have wished to buy them as a souvenir of Paraguay.
I take it that most Paraguayan Germans shudder somewhat as I did in seeing such reminders of the Reich. Not least now that Germany itself is, with the World Cup, trying to rebrand itself beyond the clichés of either jackboots or dull efficiency. But perhaps more likely, these signs of history's unsavoriness merely blend in with their adopted country's long history of dictatorships (Doctor Francia "the Supreme" as well as that other son of Germany, Stroessner) and injudicious wars of aggression and catastrophic defeat."

In powerful address to German lawmakers, Pope warns of 'cultureless' Europe
September 22, 2011
http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=11827
Pope Benedict XVI gave a powerful defense of the natural-law tradition, and an equally powerful critique of moral relativism, in an address to lawmakers during the first day of his visit to Germany.
In his September 22 speech to the Bundestag, the Holy Father said that the Nazi regime illustrated how a government that does not recognize objective standards of justice can become a nightmare regime.
"Without justice, what else is the state but a great band of robbers?" the Pope asked, citing the words of St. Augustine. He continued:
We Germans know from our own experience that these words are no empty specter. We have seen how power became divorced from right, how power opposed right and crushed it, so that the state became an instrument for destroying right--a highly organized band of robbers, capable of threatening the whole world and driving it to the edge of the abyss.
At the opening of his address, the Pope said that he wanted to offer "some thoughts on the foundations of a free state of law." His remarks drew a loud standing ovation from the appreciative members of the Bundestag. About 50 members had boycotted the papal address.
The work of a politician, the Pope said, cannot be aimed simply at a successful career. He reminded his audience of the example of King Solomon, who asked God for the gift of wisdom in judgment. “Through this story,” the Pope said, “the Bible wants to tell us what should ultimately matter for a politician. His fundamental criterion and the motivation for his work as a politician must not be success, and certainly not material gain. Politics must be a striving for justice, and hence it has to establish the fundamental preconditions for peace.”
Justice, the Pontiff continued, cannot always be ensure by a demographic vote:
For most of the matters that need to be regulated by law, the support of the majority can serve as a sufficient criterion. Yet it is evident that for the fundamental issues of law, in which the dignity of man and of humanity is at stake, the majority principle is not enough.
The Pope observed that this point is illustrated by our admiration for the resistance movements that fought against the tyranny of the Nazi regime and other inhumane governments, “thereby thereby doing a great service to justice and to humanity as a whole. For these people, it was indisputably evident that the law in force was actually unlawful.”
Pope Benedict went on to explain the Church’s support for the natural-law tradition: a tradition that also has roots in Greek philosophy. He said:
Unlike other great religions, Christianity has never proposed a revealed body of law to the State and to society, that is to say a juridical order derived from revelation. Instead, it has pointed to nature and reason as the true sources of law.
The tradition of government based on the fundamental principles of natural law has been the basic foundation for the legal system of Germany and other European nations, the Pope said. However, that tradition is now imperiled:
The idea of natural law is today viewed as a specifically Catholic doctrine, not worth bringing into the discussion in a non-Catholic environment, so that one feels almost ashamed even to mention the term.
In the absence of natural-law reasoning, the Pope observed, politicians find it impossible to discern clear and objective standards of justice. Consequently, he said, there is a widespread perception “that an unbridgeable gulf exists between ‘is’ and ‘ought.’” Positivism, with its insistence that reason cannot bridge the gap between facts and values, undermines the tradition on which society is built.
The Pope warned tbe German lawmakers:
Where positivist reason considers itself the only sufficient culture and banishes all other cultural realities to the status of subcultures, it diminishes man, indeed it threatens his humanity. I say this with Europe specifically in mind…. with the result that Europe vis-à-vis other world cultures is left in a state of culturelessness and at the same time extremist and radical movements emerge to fill the vacuum.

Bishop Finn is Opus Dei.. 40+ victims file “unprecedented” new lawsuits against pedophile priests in Kansas City

Third lawsuit filed against KC priest
By JUDY L. THOMAS
The Kansas City Star
The parents of a Missouri girl filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging that a Kansas City priest now facing state and federal child pornography charges took sexually explicit pictures of their daughter.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court on behalf of a minor girl by her parents, identified as Mother Doe 186 and Father Doe 186, alleges that the Rev. Shawn Ratigan used the child to produce pornographic pictures, then distributed them over the Internet.
According to the lawsuit, officials with the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese spent months trying to hide the evidence and protect Ratigan.
The civil suit names Ratigan, the diocese and Bishop Robert Finn as defendants and is the third lawsuit to be filed against the priest. It seeks unspecified damages, including expenses incurred for the girl’s medical treatment.
“As we see so often, this case appears to be one of top officials concerned about reputation over safety of children,” said Jeff Anderson, one of the attorneys who filed the lawsuit. “We applaud the courage of this family for taking action to make this problem known in order to protect children in the future.”
The diocese issued a statement in response to the lawsuit: “While the diocese has noted many inaccurate statements in the civil complaint, it intends to place these false statements into the hands of the court. The fundamental concern of the diocese is for the child and her family. The actions attributed to Shawn Ratigan betrayed their trust and violated the dignity of their daughter.”
Ratigan’s attorney, John P. O’Connor, could not be reached for a response.
According to the lawsuit, the family met Ratigan when he officiated at the funeral Mass of the girl’s great-grandfather at St. Mary Catholic Church in St. Joseph in 2006. After that, Ratigan appeared at Cathedral of St. Joseph School, where the girl was a student, and often visited the family at their home. The visits occurred from 2006 to 2011, the lawsuit says.
In 2008, the lawsuit alleges, Ratigan took photographs and visual images of the girl in her bathing suit, focusing on her vaginal area and buttocks. Around 2009, Ratigan photographed the girl while she was sleeping and fully clothed, the lawsuit says. Those photos indicate that Ratigan moved the girl in order to pose her in a sexually suggestive manner, the lawsuit alleges.
Ratigan then uploaded the sexually explicit photos to his computer and sent them out over the Internet, according to the lawsuit.
Authorities found pictures of the girl, identified in the lawsuit as Jane Doe 186, and numerous other girls on a computer at St. Mary Parish in St. Joseph and on compact discs found during a search of Ratigan family members’ homes after his arrest in May, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit alleges that instead of notifying police about disturbing photographs found on Ratigan’s laptop computer in December, the diocese “aided and abetted” Ratigan by covering up his behavior, copying and distributing the photos he created and collaborating to destroy the evidence.
The lawsuit cites a federal child pornography statute known as Masha’s Law, which was enacted in 2006 and gives child pornography victims the right to sue anyone who produces, downloads, distributes or possesses sexually explicit images of them.
The law was named after a girl from Russia who was adopted at age 5 by a man who sexually abused her and made recordings of it. Victims can recover damages of no less than $150,000.

Finn covered his ears. After something got through that he didn't want to hear, he played dumb and lost. He did so many things wrong, one after the other, that it can't just be a kind of naivete.
This case should lead not only to lawsuits and criminal prosecutions but to disbarments.

Bishop Finn did his grand jury testimony, surrounded by his FOUR lawyers, undoubtedly
paid for by parishioner contributions.
Catholics must believe that Jesus would have needed four highly paid lawyers to help Him tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Some day, we'll get to see how close
Bishop Finn and his four lawyers came to telling the simple truth about how Finn left a known pedophile around children.

What is wrong with the Bishop having lawyers accompany him to a grand jury session? If so many of you Catholic haters have your way, he is a target of the grand jury and needs to know his rights. Do you think a prosecutor is going to tell him? Have you ever been before a grand jury? It can be more than a little unnerving. This is especially true if you are a potential target. How do you know he had four lawyers. Were you there? Do you know what each lawyer's role was. I would imagine at least one is representing the diocese in civil suits and one or two are criminal experts just for the grand jury.

This is all part of a carefully orchestrated plan by SNAP. I am not saying Fr. Ratigan is not guilty but SNAP is bent on bringing down the Catholic Church.
SNAP is an organization that is deeply entrenched in the dishonest and duplicitous tactics of famed radical Saul Alinsky. SNAP has displayed time and time again that it cannot be trusted. The group is serial in its dishonesty and relentless in its venom for the Church.
Where are the stories in the Star about the recent and incontrovertible evidence that hundreds - and maybe thousands - of claims of abuse against Catholic priests are entirely false?

SNAP consists of thousands of children that were raped in the Catholic church. Only Catholics would fight such a group. You now know for a fact that thousands of Catholic pedophile priests were guilty, so you can't use that excuse when you go before God on your judgment day. Think up a better excuse to outsmart God, as He sits surrounded by children raped in His church. You have eternity to think of one.

I take it you don't know too many Catholics. You are right we will all be held accountable for our actions... pedophiles and rapists... all of us... so will the people who lied in an attempt to damage the Church His son started... His mystical body and bride.

Judy Block-Jones
This is horrifically sad... So many adults within the diocese knew about these child porn pictures on Ratigan's computer way back in December and none of them called the police. WHY? It is clear they had no concerns for these children.. how is that even possible?
Crimes have been committed, and all those responsible need to be held accountable just like any other human being, so that kids can be protected today.
We just can't stop thinking about these innocent children and their heart broken parents. Their lives have been changed forever.
Anyone who has knowledge or has been harmed in this diocese please contact law enforcement, do not report diocese officials.

40+ victims file “unprecedented” new lawsuit
40+ victims file “unprecedented” new lawsuit
They charge KC’s bishop with “breach of contract”
He breaks 2008 agreement & endangers kids, they say
Suit seeks “continuing supervision” of diocese, not money
Finn pledged to report child sex abuse suspicions to police
But he clearly hid evidence & reports about Ratigan for a year
And for seven months, he kept twice-accused predator priest in parish
WHAT
Holding signs and childhood photos, about ten clergy sex abuse victims will disclose an unprecedented new, 12 page civil lawsuit charging KC’s Catholic bishop with “breach of contract” lawsuit against the diocese, by:
-- refusing, four months, to report allegations and suspicions about a priest (Fr. Shawn Ratigan) to police,
-- withholding evidence of possible child porn from law enforcement for five months,
-- keeping another sued and credibly accused priest (Fr. Michael Tierney) in a parish for six months, and
-- failing to defrock four suspended and accused child molesting clerics.
The suit seeks no money, but asks a judge to:
--force the bishop to go to arbitration, as he agreed to do in 2008, and
--provide continuing supervision of the diocese to make sure it honors 19 non-economic abuse prevention and healing steps that victims fought for and won when they settled their lawsuits against the diocese three years ago.
SNAP believes this is the first such lawsuit ever in which a group of victims seeks to force Catholic officials to honor promises they made during a settlement.
WHEN
TODAY, Thursday, Oct. 6, 2:00 p.m.
WHERE:
Outside Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic church, 3333 Broadway (corner of 34th) in Kansas City, MO
WHO
Ten members of a victims’ self-help group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAPnetwork.org), including a KC man who is the organization’s long time KC director and at several individuals who were part of a landmark 2008 child sex abuse settlement against the diocese (and are part of the new suit)
WHY
In 2008, 47 victims resolved their clergy sex abuse and cover up lawsuits against the KC MO diocese. As part of that deal, they insisted that Bishop Robert Finn and other top church officials commit to 19 non-economic reform steps. Now, in an unprecedented move, 44 of those victims are charging that Finn and his colleagues have broken six sections of the agreement, a total of roughly 20 times, in part by keeping two priests in ministry (Fr. James Tierney and Fr. Shawn Ratigan) despite credible allegations against them and by not reporting suspicions and knowledge of child sex crimes promptly to police and prosecutors.
The suit also says the bishop hasn’t honored his pledge to defrock four suspended or credibly accused clerics.
The 19 non-economic steps were a written contract, the suit maintains, with a provision that assured arbitration if any dispute about implementation arose. Months ago, the victims asked for arbitration but the diocese has refused.
Increasingly, victims are pushing for and winning similar abuse prevention agreements. That’s because victims now realize that most dioceses – with extensive wealth and insurance – aren’t reforming just because they settle civil lawsuits. So more and more often, as part of settlement discussions, victims are devising and fighting for specific commitments by church officials to prevent and reform how they deal with abuse cases in the future.
According to a Boston-based research group, at least 22 KC Catholic clerics stand accused, often several times, of molesting kids. Yet not one of them (nor a single complicit church colleague or supervisor) faces or has ever faced criminal prosecution (with the recent exception of Ratigan who is jailed on child porn charges).
The News conference is being held outside Our Lady of Perpetual Help church because in June, a special mass was held there to "promote unity" in the diocese. That event, SNAP contends, only served to intimidate others who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes and cover ups from coming forward and exposing wrongdoing.

Third lawsuit filed against KC priest
By JUDY L. THOMAS
The Kansas City Star
The parents of a Missouri girl filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging that a Kansas City priest now facing state and federal child pornography charges took sexually explicit pictures of their daughter.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court on behalf of a minor girl by her parents, identified as Mother Doe 186 and Father Doe 186, alleges that the Rev. Shawn Ratigan used the child to produce pornographic pictures, then distributed them over the Internet.
According to the lawsuit, officials with the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese spent months trying to hide the evidence and protect Ratigan.
The civil suit names Ratigan, the diocese and Bishop Robert Finn as defendants and is the third lawsuit to be filed against the priest. It seeks unspecified damages, including expenses incurred for the girl’s medical treatment.
“As we see so often, this case appears to be one of top officials concerned about reputation over safety of children,” said Jeff Anderson, one of the attorneys who filed the lawsuit. “We applaud the courage of this family for taking action to make this problem known in order to protect children in the future.”
The diocese issued a statement in response to the lawsuit: “While the diocese has noted many inaccurate statements in the civil complaint, it intends to place these false statements into the hands of the court. The fundamental concern of the diocese is for the child and her family. The actions attributed to Shawn Ratigan betrayed their trust and violated the dignity of their daughter.”
Ratigan’s attorney, John P. O’Connor, could not be reached for a response.
According to the lawsuit, the family met Ratigan when he officiated at the funeral Mass of the girl’s great-grandfather at St. Mary Catholic Church in St. Joseph in 2006. After that, Ratigan appeared at Cathedral of St. Joseph School, where the girl was a student, and often visited the family at their home. The visits occurred from 2006 to 2011, the lawsuit says.
In 2008, the lawsuit alleges, Ratigan took photographs and visual images of the girl in her bathing suit, focusing on her vaginal area and buttocks. Around 2009, Ratigan photographed the girl while she was sleeping and fully clothed, the lawsuit says. Those photos indicate that Ratigan moved the girl in order to pose her in a sexually suggestive manner, the lawsuit alleges.
Ratigan then uploaded the sexually explicit photos to his computer and sent them out over the Internet, according to the lawsuit.
Authorities found pictures of the girl, identified in the lawsuit as Jane Doe 186, and numerous other girls on a computer at St. Mary Parish in St. Joseph and on compact discs found during a search of Ratigan family members’ homes after his arrest in May, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit alleges that instead of notifying police about disturbing photographs found on Ratigan’s laptop computer in December, the diocese “aided and abetted” Ratigan by covering up his behavior, copying and distributing the photos he created and collaborating to destroy the evidence.
The lawsuit cites a federal child pornography statute known as Masha’s Law, which was enacted in 2006 and gives child pornography victims the right to sue anyone who produces, downloads, distributes or possesses sexually explicit images of them.
The law was named after a girl from Russia who was adopted at age 5 by a man who sexually abused her and made recordings of it. Victims can recover damages of no less than $150,000.

Finn covered his ears. After something got through that he didn't want to hear, he played dumb and lost. He did so many things wrong, one after the other, that it can't just be a kind of naivete.
This case should lead not only to lawsuits and criminal prosecutions but to disbarments.

Bishop Finn did his grand jury testimony, surrounded by his FOUR lawyers, undoubtedly
paid for by parishioner contributions.
Catholics must believe that Jesus would have needed four highly paid lawyers to help Him tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Some day, we'll get to see how close
Bishop Finn and his four lawyers came to telling the simple truth about how Finn left a known pedophile around children.

What is wrong with the Bishop having lawyers accompany him to a grand jury session? If so many of you Catholic haters have your way, he is a target of the grand jury and needs to know his rights. Do you think a prosecutor is going to tell him? Have you ever been before a grand jury? It can be more than a little unnerving. This is especially true if you are a potential target. How do you know he had four lawyers. Were you there? Do you know what each lawyer's role was. I would imagine at least one is representing the diocese in civil suits and one or two are criminal experts just for the grand jury.

This is all part of a carefully orchestrated plan by SNAP. I am not saying Fr. Ratigan is not guilty but SNAP is bent on bringing down the Catholic Church.
SNAP is an organization that is deeply entrenched in the dishonest and duplicitous tactics of famed radical Saul Alinsky. SNAP has displayed time and time again that it cannot be trusted. The group is serial in its dishonesty and relentless in its venom for the Church.
Where are the stories in the Star about the recent and incontrovertible evidence that hundreds - and maybe thousands - of claims of abuse against Catholic priests are entirely false?
*

Carl Kent
SNAP consists of thousands of children that were raped in the Catholic church. Only Catholics would fight such a group. You now know for a fact that thousands of Catholic pedophile priests were guilty, so you can't use that excuse when you go before God on your judgment day. Think up a better excuse to outsmart God, as He sits surrounded by children raped in His church. You have eternity to think of one.

Malki_Tzedek
I take it you don't know too many Catholics. You are right we will all be held accountable for our actions... pedophiles and rapists... all of us... so will the people who lied in an attempt to damage the Church His son started... His mystical body and bride.

Judy Block-Jones
This is horrifically sad... So many adults within the diocese knew about these child porn pictures on Ratigan's computer way back in December and none of them called the police. WHY? It is clear they had no concerns for these children.. how is that even possible?
Crimes have been committed, and all those responsible need to be held accountable just like any other human being, so that kids can be protected today.
We just can't stop thinking about these innocent children and their heart broken parents. Their lives have been changed forever.
Anyone who has knowledge or has been harmed in this diocese please contact law enforcement, do not report diocese officials.

The Pope is the richest man on earth video
Chapter Ten: The Richest Man on Earth?
Remember when the pope came to the United States? How he chided us for not showing mercy? That we should give away what we have to the poor? We are such a wealthy nation. And then remember the great earthquake that took place in 1980 over in Italy? I remember when the pope came in to this ruined area, walked up to the bedside of some poor little wounded Italian man and the pope so benevolently laid his hand on his head and made the sign of the cross, blessed the man and walked off.
John Paul II, "Pilgrimage of Faith"
And the newscasters were telling of the devastation. And then we cut back to the United States and Senator Kennedy looked at the camera with sorrowful eyes and said, "Oh, we Americans, out of mercy we should send at least 45 million dollars to this devastated village so we can reconstruct it." Remember that? Now let me read something out of THE VATICAN BILLIONS by Avro Manhattan, and I think you're going to get as mad as I am right now. I want to bring to your attention the fact that this information was published 10 years ago, and the figures are probably even more startling today.
"The Vatican has large investments with the Rothschilds of Britain, France and America, with the Hambros Bank, with the Credit Suisse in London and Zurich. In the United States it has large investments with the Morgan Bank, the Chase-Manhattan Bank, the First National Bank of New York, the Bankers Trust Company, and others. The Vatican has billions of shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines, T.W.A., etc. At a conservative estimate, these amount to more than 500 million dollars in the U.S.A. alone.
"In a statement published in connection with a bond prospectus, the Boston archdiocese listed its assets at Six Hundred and Thirty-five Million ($635,891,004), which is 9.9 times its liabilities. This leaves a net worth of Five Hundred and Seventy-one million dollars ($571,704,953). It is not difficult to discover the truly astonishing wealth of the church, once we add the riches of the twenty-eight archdioceses and 122 dioceses of the U.S.A., some of which are even wealthier than that of Boston.
"Some idea of the real estate and other forms of wealth controlled by the Catholic church may be gathered by the remark of a member of the New York Catholic Conference, namely 'that his church probably ranks second only to the United States Government in total annual purchase.' Another statement, made by a nationally syndicated Catholic priest, perhaps is even more telling. 'The Catholic church,' he said, 'must be the biggest corporation in the United States. We have a branch office in every neighborhood. Our assets and real estate holdings must exceed those of Standard Oil, A.T.&T., and U.S. Steel combined. And our roster of dues-paying members must be second only to the tax rolls of the United States Government.'
"The Catholic church, once all her assets have been put together, is the most formidable stockbroker in the world. The Vatican, independently of each successive pope, has been increasingly orientated towards the U.S. The Wall Street Journal said that the Vatican's financial deals in the U.S. alone were so big that very often it sold or bought gold in lots of a million or more dollars at one time.
"The Vatican's treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. A large bulk of this is stored in gold ingots with the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, while banks in England and Switzerland hold the rest. But this is just a small portion of the wealth of the Vatican, which in the U.S. alone, is greater than that of the five wealthiest giant corporations of the country. When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the Catholic church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.
"The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth, is consequently the richest individual of the twentieth century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars."
And I think back about how the pope, the wealthiest man on this planet, walked up to that poor little Italian man lying in that rubble, put his hand on his head, and said, "Bless you," and then walked away and just left him there. That has got to be the height of hypocrisy. And then Sen. Kennedy, the pope's boy over in the United States makes the big pitch to the U.S. people to foot the bill to repair that devastated village, right in the pope's backyard. What a set-up!

Nazi Gold and the Vatican
How Rome saved Fascists for a price
Did greed and God work hand in hand? And what do the apparitions at Medjugorje have to do with it?
http://www.weirdload.com/gold.html
ROME — Wealth plundered by the Nazis from their victims has been traced to banks in Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal and other neutral countries that were secretly helping the Nazis stash stolen gold or launder it to buy war materiel. One state after another has reluctantly opened its archives and banking records to aid the search, with one glaring exception: the Vatican.
So far the Vatican has flatly refused to allow investigators access to its archives, despite repeated pleas from several nations and from Jewish groups. A task force headed by the US Undersecretary of State Stuart Eizenstat is expected to issue a report that questions the Vatican's wartime financial dealings. And mounting evidence suggests that plunder from the Ustasha, Croatia's pro-Nazi fascist government during the war, with the aid of Croatian Catholic priests, made its way to Rome. Some of it was used to help Croatian war criminals flee to South America.
From 1941 to 1945, the Ustashas exterminated an estimated 500,000 Serbs, Jews and Gypsies, and looted their property. They demanded 1,000 kilograms of gold from the Jews of Zagreb, only to ship them to concentration camps and kill them anyway. The Croatian Catholic Church was closely entangled with the Ustashas: in the early years of the war, Catholic priests oversaw forced conversion of Orthodox Serbs while Franciscans distributed propaganda.
Several high Catholic officials in Yugoslavia were later indicted for war crimes. They included Fr. Dragutin Kamber, who ordered the killing of nearly 300 Orthodox Serbs, the "hangman of the Serbs" Bishop Ivan Saric of Sarajevo, and Bishop Gregory Rozman of Slovenia, a wanted Nazi collaborator. A trial in 1946 resulted in the conviction of a half-dozen Ustasha priests, including former Franciscan Miroslav Filipovic-Majstorovic, a commandant of a concentration camp where the Ustashas tortured and slaughtered hundreds of thousands with a brutality that shocked even the Nazis.
As more secret documents become public, it is Fr. Krunoslav Draganovic, who emerges as the most significant player of all. The Franciscan had been a senior official of the Ustasha committee that handled the forced conversion of the Serbs. In 1943, the Ustasha arranged with the Church for Draganovic to be sent to Rome. There he served at a seminary of Croatian monks that was in fact a center of clandestine Ustasha activity. He also became the Ustasha's unofficial emissary at the Vatican and liaison to the Vatican organization to aid war refugees. Draganovic and collaborators such as Fr. Golik provided the means and support, including forged Red Cross passports, for a number of
Ustasha war criminals to escape justice. Through an underground railroad of sympathetic priests known as "the ratline", the Ustashas were able to escape to neutral countries, primarily Argentina. Virtually the entire Ustasha leadership went free.
The day that Germany capitulated 288 kilograms of gold were removed from the Croatian National Bank and state treasury. Some of that landed in Draganovic's hands. Called the "Golden Priest", he doled it out to Croatian refugees, including Ustasha soldiers. He was never charged and returned to Yugoslavia, where he died in 1983.
A memo that surfaced last summer prompted the State Department's interest, but the Vatican swiftly dismissed it, saying the charges could not be true. Other reports mention Ustashas meeting Vatican officials, living in the Vatican; even being hidden at the pope's summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo and driving cars with Vatican plates in Rome.
The Vatican's tolerance of the Ustasha during the war was no secret, but though they insist they have nothing to hide, they refuse outside researchers free access to their archives because the collection contains sensitive personnel files. As a general rule, the Vatican says it releases church documents only after about 75 years, but outside observers contend it is much rarer than that. 3/25/97

Introduction to the Vatican Bank Claims
Alperin v. Vatican Bank was originally filed in Federal Court in San Francisco in November 1999. The plaintiffs are concentration camp survivors of Serb, Jewish, Roma and Ukrainian background and their relatives as well as organizations representing over 300,000 Holocaust victims and their heirs.
The plaintiffs seek an accounting and recovery of the Ustasha Treasury that according to the US State Department was illicitly transferred to the Vatican, the Franciscan Order and other banks after the end of the war.
Defendants currently include the Vatican Bank and Franciscan Order. These defendants combined to conceal assets looted by the Croatian Nazis from concentration camp victims, Serbs, Jews, Roma and former Soviet citizens from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia 1941-1945.
Levy v. CIA is a lawsuit filed under the Freedom of Information Act seeking release of US Intelligence agency files regarding the notorius Vatican spymaster, Fr. Krunoslav Draganovic. New records on Draganovic were released as a result of the successful conclusion of that lawsuit in 2001.

Nazi Connection To Franciscan Order Uncovered Near Medjugorje
Siroki Brijeg, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Near the site of a World War II wartime massacre of Serb women and children by Croatian Nazis stands a Franciscan Monastery. It's just down the road from Medjugorje or "Miracle City" where the Virgin Mary is said to put in nightly appearances for the tens of thousands of Roman Catholic pilgrims who flock there each year. The Franciscan Monastery at Sirkoi Brijeg and its controversial contents are at the center of an international scandal involving the Franciscans, Croatian ultra nationalists and the Vatican Bank.
A lawsuit, Alperin v. Vatican Bank, filed in San Francisco Federal Court in November 1999 by Serb, Jewish, and Ukrainian Holocaust survivors against the Vatican Bank and Franciscans seeks return of Nazi loot stolen from wartime Yugoslavia. According to a 1998 US State Department report, the money known as the Ustasha Treasury, is thought to have been concealed in the Vatican and used in part to fund the escape of Nazi and Croatian war criminals to South America. The Franciscans acted as facilitators and middlemen in moving the contents of the Ustasha Treasury from Croatia to Austria, Italy and finally South America.
The Franciscans have denied their wartime ties to the Ustasha regime in Croatia, which slaughtered over 700,000 Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies and set the stage for today's ethnic battles in the Balkans. However, in Siroki Brijeg, plaintiffs' attorneys have obtained tangible proof of the Nazi Franciscan connection. Cameramen working for Phillip Kronzer, a staunch foe of Medjugorje and its Marian apparitions obtained entry to the Monastery and filmed a secret shrine honoring the Ustashe. A plaque dedicated to Franciscan monks who were Ustasha members was filmed along with a massive shrine lining the walls complete with photographs of Ustasha soldiers some in Nazi uniforms. The admonition, "Recognize us, We are yours" can clearly be discerned in the video footage. On a later visit to the monastery the shrine had been dismantled but the videotape preserved the evidence and has now been made available by the Kronzer Foundation.
Just as in World War II, Medjugorje in the 1990's was the site of brutal ethnic cleansing by Croat nationalists. Alperin plaintiffs have alleged that Medjugorje and its facilities are connected with the Ustasha Treasury and the monastery at Siroki Brijeg seems to provide hard evidence of the connection.
This is not a new story. Rumors have circulated about these connections for decades. Even Malachi Martin dealt with the accusations in his novel, Vatican.

The Vatican has billions of shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines, T.W.A., etc. At a conservative estimate, these amount to more than 500 million dollars in the U.S.A. alone.
"In a statement published in connection with a bond prospectus, the Boston archdiocese listed its assets at Six Hundred and Thirty-five Million ($635,891,004), which is 9.9 times its liabilities. This leaves a net worth of Five Hundred and Seventy-one million dollars ($571,704,953). It is not difficult to discover the truly astonishing wealth of the church, once we add the riches of the twenty-eight archdioceses and 122 dioceses of the U.S.A., some of which are even wealthier than that of Boston.
"Some idea of the real estate and other forms of wealth controlled by the Catholic church may be gathered by the remark of a member of the New York Catholic Conference, namely 'that his church probably ranks second only to the United States Government in total annual purchase.' Another statement, made by a nationally syndicated Catholic priest, perhaps is even more telling. 'The Catholic church,' he said, 'must be the biggest corporation in the United States. We have a branch office in every neighborhood. Our assets and real estate holdings must exceed those of Standard Oil, A.T.&T., and U.S. Steel combined. And our roster of dues-paying members must be second only to the tax rolls of the United States Government.'
"The Catholic church, once all her assets have been put together, is the most formidable stockbroker in the world. The Vatican, independently of each successive pope, has been increasingly orientated towards the U.S. The Wall Street Journal said that the Vatican's financial deals in the U.S. alone were so big that very often it sold or bought gold in lots of a million or more dollars at one time.
"The Vatican's treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. A large bulk of this is stored in gold ingots with the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, while banks in England and Switzerland hold the rest. But this is just a small portion of the wealth of the Vatican, which in the U.S. alone, is greater than that of the five wealthiest giant corporations of the country. When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the Catholic church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.
"The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth, is consequently the richest individual of the twentieth century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars."
And I think back about how the pope, the wealthiest man on this planet, walked up to that poor little Italian man lying in that rubble, put his hand on his head, and said, "Bless you," and then walked away and just left him there. That has got to be the height of hypocrisy. And then Sen. Kennedy, the pope's boy over in the United States makes the big pitch to the U.S. people to foot the bill to repair that devastated village, right in the pope's backyard. What a set-up!

Nazi Gold and the Vatican
How Rome saved Fascists for a price
Did greed and God work hand in hand? And what do the apparitions at Medjugorje have to do with it?
http://www.weirdload.com/gold.html
ROME — Wealth plundered by the Nazis from their victims has been traced to banks in Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal and other neutral countries that were secretly helping the Nazis stash stolen gold or launder it to buy war materiel. One state after another has reluctantly opened its archives and banking records to aid the search, with one glaring exception: the Vatican.
So far the Vatican has flatly refused to allow investigators access to its archives, despite repeated pleas from several nations and from Jewish groups. A task force headed by the US Undersecretary of State Stuart Eizenstat is expected to issue a report that questions the Vatican's wartime financial dealings. And mounting evidence suggests that plunder from the Ustasha, Croatia's pro-Nazi fascist government during the war, with the aid of Croatian Catholic priests, made its way to Rome. Some of it was used to help Croatian war criminals flee to South America.
From 1941 to 1945, the Ustashas exterminated an estimated 500,000 Serbs, Jews and Gypsies, and looted their property. They demanded 1,000 kilograms of gold from the Jews of Zagreb, only to ship them to concentration camps and kill them anyway. The Croatian Catholic Church was closely entangled with the Ustashas: in the early years of the war, Catholic priests oversaw forced conversion of Orthodox Serbs while Franciscans distributed propaganda.
Several high Catholic officials in Yugoslavia were later indicted for war crimes. They included Fr. Dragutin Kamber, who ordered the killing of nearly 300 Orthodox Serbs, the "hangman of the Serbs" Bishop Ivan Saric of Sarajevo, and Bishop Gregory Rozman of Slovenia, a wanted Nazi collaborator. A trial in 1946 resulted in the conviction of a half-dozen Ustasha priests, including former Franciscan Miroslav Filipovic-Majstorovic, a commandant of a concentration camp where the Ustashas tortured and slaughtered hundreds of thousands with a brutality that shocked even the Nazis.
As more secret documents become public, it is Fr. Krunoslav Draganovic, who emerges as the most significant player of all. The Franciscan had been a senior official of the Ustasha committee that handled the forced conversion of the Serbs. In 1943, the Ustasha arranged with the Church for Draganovic to be sent to Rome. There he served at a seminary of Croatian monks that was in fact a center of clandestine Ustasha activity. He also became the Ustasha's unofficial emissary at the Vatican and liaison to the Vatican organization to aid war refugees. Draganovic and collaborators such as Fr. Golik provided the means and support, including forged Red Cross passports, for a number of
Ustasha war criminals to escape justice. Through an underground railroad of sympathetic priests known as "the ratline", the Ustashas were able to escape to neutral countries, primarily Argentina. Virtually the entire Ustasha leadership went free.
The day that Germany capitulated 288 kilograms of gold were removed from the Croatian National Bank and state treasury. Some of that landed in Draganovic's hands. Called the "Golden Priest", he doled it out to Croatian refugees, including Ustasha soldiers. He was never charged and returned to Yugoslavia, where he died in 1983.
A memo that surfaced last summer prompted the State Department's interest, but the Vatican swiftly dismissed it, saying the charges could not be true. Other reports mention Ustashas meeting Vatican officials, living in the Vatican; even being hidden at the pope's summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo and driving cars with Vatican plates in Rome.
The Vatican's tolerance of the Ustasha during the war was no secret, but though they insist they have nothing to hide, they refuse outside researchers free access to their archives because the collection contains sensitive personnel files. As a general rule, the Vatican says it releases church documents only after about 75 years, but outside observers contend it is much rarer than that. 3/25/97

Introduction to the Vatican Bank Claims
Alperin v. Vatican Bank was originally filed in Federal Court in San Francisco in November 1999. The plaintiffs are concentration camp survivors of Serb, Jewish, Roma and Ukrainian background and their relatives as well as organizations representing over 300,000 Holocaust victims and their heirs.
The plaintiffs seek an accounting and recovery of the Ustasha Treasury that according to the US State Department was illicitly transferred to the Vatican, the Franciscan Order and other banks after the end of the war.
Defendants currently include the Vatican Bank and Franciscan Order. These defendants combined to conceal assets looted by the Croatian Nazis from concentration camp victims, Serbs, Jews, Roma and former Soviet citizens from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia 1941-1945.
Levy v. CIA is a lawsuit filed under the Freedom of Information Act seeking release of US Intelligence agency files regarding the notorius Vatican spymaster, Fr. Krunoslav Draganovic. New records on Draganovic were released as a result of the successful conclusion of that lawsuit in 2001.

Nazi Connection To Franciscan Order Uncovered Near Medjugorje
Siroki Brijeg, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Near the site of a World War II wartime massacre of Serb women and children by Croatian Nazis stands a Franciscan Monastery. It's just down the road from Medjugorje or "Miracle City" where the Virgin Mary is said to put in nightly appearances for the tens of thousands of Roman Catholic pilgrims who flock there each year. The Franciscan Monastery at Sirkoi Brijeg and its controversial contents are at the center of an international scandal involving the Franciscans, Croatian ultra nationalists and the Vatican Bank.
A lawsuit, Alperin v. Vatican Bank, filed in San Francisco Federal Court in November 1999 by Serb, Jewish, and Ukrainian Holocaust survivors against the Vatican Bank and Franciscans seeks return of Nazi loot stolen from wartime Yugoslavia. According to a 1998 US State Department report, the money known as the Ustasha Treasury, is thought to have been concealed in the Vatican and used in part to fund the escape of Nazi and Croatian war criminals to South America. The Franciscans acted as facilitators and middlemen in moving the contents of the Ustasha Treasury from Croatia to Austria, Italy and finally South America.
The Franciscans have denied their wartime ties to the Ustasha regime in Croatia, which slaughtered over 700,000 Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies and set the stage for today's ethnic battles in the Balkans. However, in Siroki Brijeg, plaintiffs' attorneys have obtained tangible proof of the Nazi Franciscan connection. Cameramen working for Phillip Kronzer, a staunch foe of Medjugorje and its Marian apparitions obtained entry to the Monastery and filmed a secret shrine honoring the Ustashe. A plaque dedicated to Franciscan monks who were Ustasha members was filmed along with a massive shrine lining the walls complete with photographs of Ustasha soldiers some in Nazi uniforms. The admonition, "Recognize us, We are yours" can clearly be discerned in the video footage. On a later visit to the monastery the shrine had been dismantled but the videotape preserved the evidence and has now been made available by the Kronzer Foundation.
Just as in World War II, Medjugorje in the 1990's was the site of brutal ethnic cleansing by Croat nationalists. Alperin plaintiffs have alleged that Medjugorje and its facilities are connected with the Ustasha Treasury and the monastery at Siroki Brijeg seems to provide hard evidence of the connection.
This is not a new story. Rumors have circulated about these connections for decades. Even Malachi Martin dealt with the accusations in his novel, Vatican.
