Attention!
Judge
Román Berroa and Justice minister Francisco Domínguez – traitors of the
Dominican Republic and – slaves of Opus
Dei Beast a.k.a. Vatican Mammon Beast, Estás
traidores de la República Dominicana y estás juntos esclavos del Opus Dei
Bestia alias Vaticano Mammon Bestia!
Idiot Catholics Judge Román Berroa and Justice minister Francisco
Domínguez – FYI For Your Information, read below a compilation of articles
about Pope Francis and the
Vatican who have “punished” Józef Wesolowski because he was a bestial papal
pimping nuncio and they defrocked him as a priest and archbishop, and revoked
his status as papal nuncio and therefore he is NOT a
diplomat any longer. The fact is, Józef Wesolowski has been fired
as a Vatican diplomat and is no longer in any shape or form related to the
Vatican (fake) country. He has NOTHING
NADA to do in and for the Vatican – he cannot perform anymore the sorcery of
the Eucharist Satanic Mass and he cannot do any cleric or clerical work in the
Vatican. Józef Wesolowski
is now an ordinary secular Polish citizen and – no longer a citizen of the
Vatican (fake) country. So arrest him, you morons! Read the official population and citizen of the
Vatican here -- UN vs. Vatican (half its 800 population do NOT live
inside Vatican City) – so its jurisdiction is only for 400 in-house residents? http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2014/05/un-vs-vatican-half-its-800-population.html
An Idiot Catholic judge in the Dominican Republic on
Monday refused to issue a warrant to arrest former Vatican envoy Józef
Wesolowski for sexually abusing minors. According to the Dominican Today, National
District instruction judge Román Berroa ruled that since the country forms part
of the Vienna Convention, a diplomat cannot be
prosecuted outside the State which he represents.
Insane stupid idiot
Dominican Republic judge – you are living in the PAST when you attended
his Eucharist Satanic Mass and ate the fake flesh of Christ and you felt so
much peace – the false peace of Satan – the father of lies
who came to steal and kill!
What kind of a stupid judge is Román Berroa? What kind of an idiot Catholic is Justice
minister Francisco Domínguez who also stated that the Vienna Convention
precludes Wesolowski’s extradition to the Dominican Republic? They are TRAITORS who have together
sold their souls to the Vatican Mammon Beast aka Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits
Team – to save face of the Vatican (fake) country and
preserve the Vatican Concordat – so that the Vatican can continue to usurp
billions of dollars out of the Dominican Republic, read our related

Today, Józef Wesolowski is only an ordinary secular layman
– free to roam in Rome to prowl and prey on more minors and pay them for sex
– after all, he got millions of dollars of commission – stashed in his fat secret Vatican Swiss Bank account – for the billions of dollars he usurped from the Dominican Republic via the Vatican Concordat when he was a f**king papal pimp nuncio.

The Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team
has bought judge Román Berroa’s soul –the Vatican Mammon Beast can
afford to buy all souls and bribe all judges and politicians to wield its VA
Vatican Autocracy..
They'll have a Mock trial at Vatican (like Vatileaks) for the papal pimp nuncio. Read - Vatileaks is a sham. A compilation of news articles. Vatican Leaks and
Secrets of Benedict XVI revealed http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2012/06/vatileaks-compilation-secrets-of.html
The
Octopus Dei Beast PR strategy is to bring Józef Wesolowski to a mock trial within the Vatican (fake) country, then sort of
“jail” him there and that way – case is closed – and he will never spill any
Vatican secrets – which he’d do if he were tried in the Dominican Republic.
A former
priest, Eric Dajaeger was extradited from Belgium to stand trial in Canada for
the bestial crimes he committed in Canada.
Józef Wesolowski is also a former priest and no-longer-a-diplomat
and he must also be extradited and stand trial in the Dominican Republic where
he committed all his bestial crime as the higest member of the JP2
Army – John Paul II Pedophile Preists Army.
Ironically Józef Wesolowski was
appointed and ordained a bishop by the new Satanas St. John Paul II.
Christ wants to be set free from
the Vatican and all gold tabernacles in all Catholic churches
worldwide and the most
sensational trial of Józef Wesolowski will prove that priests and popes have no
power to clone Christ’s flesh-and-blood in the Eucharist Satanic Mass.

Vatican assets in the United States
of America
The
Catholic Church in the United States, with “assets of more than $100 billion,
today possesses more than ten times the
combined wealth of IBM, Exxon, General Motors, and U.S. Steel.”
- stock it controls on
the New York and American stock exchanges, and property, gold reserves, and
paintings—are probably $50 billion to $60 billion
- There
is no accountability for these funds to anyone except the Vatican. Everything
is done in complete secrecy
- The hierarchy has learned to act indirectly through
Catholic laypersons
- The hierarchy acts through Catholic politicians –
see list below
Note that this Vatican fortune in
the USA has only multiplied – exponentially –through the decades since that book was written.
The Vatican owns American media – Fortune, Forbes,
Time Magazine, Rolling Stone – any magazine that puts Pope Francis on its cover
and speaks adulatingly about him belongs to the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team
in the Vatican. Now it has added Boston Globe among its holdings. The
Vatican and Opus Dei never own stocks and properties in its own name but always
through its fanatic members and associates.

Francis in-name-only
Pope Francis, YOU took Francis of Assisi’s name – but that’s all there is, isn’t it? You are “in name only” – nothing else. There’s nothing similar in essence or substance or in person between you and St. Francis - and if the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team are already preparing for your sainthood like they did with documents for John Paul II’s 27 years papacy, you’re being duped big time. You should have retired into a simple cave like poverello St. Francis of Assisi – who even refused to be a priest to clone the flesh of Christ because he knew as he wrote his canticle to the moon and stars - that no one can clone the Creator of those millions of stars in the firmament. Ever saw these images of NASA “Hand of God and Pillars of Creation”? Can you clone one of these with your papal infallible words? You cannot clone an ant or a dog or a star and therefore you cannot clone Christ either.

Why do you think your founder St. Ignatius Loyola specifically wrote in the constitution of the Jesuits that no Jesuits must accept to be a high ranking bishop or cardinal? Jesuits were meant to be companions of Jesus, not companions of the Devil, the father of lies who came to steal, kill and destroy. Ignatius had no choice 500 years ago to go to the world to proclaim the Good News that he needed the ships of the Vatican and the European monarchy. But today, the Jesuits have amassed more wealth than any religious congregation, you have all the universities and schools you want or need. There is no need to continue serving the Pope, the Father of Lies the reincarnation of the Devil! But you set your sight on the highest throne in the Catholic Church and now the favorite words of St. Ignatius haunts you: What does it profit a man to gain the entire world, if he suffers the loss of his soul? …and you have committed the worst Pope Crimes more than all popes combined – you canonized John Paul II despite his JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, read here Cold-blood-ed John Paul is no saint for children because he said nothing and did nothing to save and protect them for 27 years

Jesus the Jew vs. Roman Popes
Amazing how Jesus has lose his Middle East roots and Jewish identity (albeit born in Bethlehem, Palestine, a Muslim country) and lose His Biblical mission as a poor itinerant preacher for He has become Roman Catholic and hostage of the most tiny country - the Vatican City where He is also the most caged captive in gold tabernacles by tyrant evil popes – those 2,000 year old chameleons Pretenders and Impostors of Jesus and con-artists CON-Christ popes.
From mass murderers, thieves, pedophiles, gays, adulterers like the Borgias, to John Paul II the Great Saint of Pedophiles, to Pope Francis the Worst Thief of Mankind – all popes use Christ as their mask, disguise and bait to serve one master alone –the Vatican Mammon Beast a.k.a. Opus Dei Beast ruling in the Vatican Palace - with only one goal - to preserve the Vatican Billions in secret Vatican Swiss Banks because the Vatican owns Switzerland. Hence there’s the unique Swiss Guard Army wherein all Swiss young men are required to go and serve at the Vatican before they can become bankers, investment managers and civil officers in Switzerland because the Vatican pope is its sole monarch. Believe it or not! There was a former Swiss Guard who came to Boston to recruit investors as he was the CEO of an investment company, read about him in our other blog http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2011/10/opus-dei-seminar-on-pope-and-ceo-world.html

Pope Francis, the two new pope saints John XXIII and John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and all popes definitely do not resemble one iota Jesus the Poor Carpenter of Nazareth and Poor Fisherman in the Sea of Galilee! All movies portray Jesus as tall, lean and handsome but all popes, his assumed ‘Vicar of Christ’, have been FAT like COWS podgy, white and really hideous and repugnant they need the long white papal robe to constantly segue attention from their ugliness. Just look at the porky ass of Pope Francis that control 1.2 billion Catholics and the media world with his duck dance of wibble wobble Opus Dei Beast PR stunts. Look at this gigantic poster in Rome of porky ass Pope Francis with the two fat popes new saints he canonized –John XXIII and John Paul II the 27 years globetrotting narcissistic pope – who said nothing and did nothing to protect children from his JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army aptly named after his 27 years globetrotting papacy - and 1.2 billion stupid Catholics now adore them as their new fat Catholic Golden Cows.

Santo
Domingo.- A judge in the Dominican Republic on Monday refused to issue a
warrant to arrest former Vatican envoy Józef Wesolowski, charged with sexually
abusing minors.
National
District instruction judge Román Berroa ruled that since the country forms part
of the Vienna Convention, a
diplomat cannot be prosecuted outside the State which he represents.
The judge
also notified the decision to National District prosecutor Yeni Berenice
Reynoso, who heads the effort to extradite the former bishop, the highest
ranking official of the Catholic Church to face such indictment.
In her request, Reynoso said the Vatican’s former
representative should face charges in the country of allegedly paying boys to
perform sexual acts
In that
regard Justice minister
Francisco Domínguez has stated that the Vienna Convention precludes
Wesolowski’s extradition to the Dominican Republic.

Now, after a page 1 New York Times story, Vatican
officials have stripped a former archbishop of his diplomatic
immunity. We hope Josef Wesolowski is caught by police before he
flees.
It should not take embarrassing international headlines
to force the Vatican to turn over a fugitive to law enforcement. Helping
secular officials catch, charge and convict child molesting clerics routinely,
not rarely, should be the norm.
There isn’t much progress when wrongdoers change only
when caught.

Former nuncio Wesolowski accused of child abuse does not have diplomatic immunity any longer
VATICAN CITY
Vatican Insider
Vatican Insider
Father Lombardi: “he might also be subjected to judicial procedures from other courts”
ANDREA TORNIELLI
VATICAN CITY
After being dismissed from the clerical state, according to a verdict by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the former nuncio in Santo Domingo Jozef Wesolowski, who is accused of enticing young boys on the beach and paying them for sexual favours, is not granted diplomatic immunity any longer and will thus be prosecutable in other countries. Other than in Santo Domingo, the former prelate is under investigation in Poland, his home country. The Director of the Holy See Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi, announced this while answering the questions of the press following an article in the New York Times that brought the issue back into the spotlight, criticising the Vatican for his management of the incident.
Wesolowski, who was recalled to Rome immediately after being accused, was reduced to the lay state in few months, which is the highest possible punishment for a priest in Canon law. Now, says Lombardi, the former archbishop “has recently appealed, within the prescribed limit of two months, the most serious canonical sentence of a return to the lay state”. It appears that the appeal will be judged within October. As soon as the canonical sentence becomes definitive, the punitive procedure of the Vatican’s civil judiciary departments will begin: if he is found guilty by them as well, he might go to prison.
Lombardi explained that “Wesolowski has ceased functioning as a diplomat of the Holy See and has therefore lost his related diplomatic immunity”. The spokesman for the Vatican highlights that the Authorities of the Holy See “moved without delay and correctly in light of the fact that former nuncio Wesolowski held the position of a diplomatic representative of the Holy See.” Lombardi continues “This action relates to his recall to Rome and in the treatment of the case in relation to Authorities of the Dominican Republic. Far from any intention of a cover-up, this action demonstrates the full and direct undertaking of the Holy See’s responsibility even in such a serious and delicate case, about which Pope Francis is duly and carefully informed and one which the Pope wishes to address justly and rigorously”

A judge on Monday declined to order a Catholic archbishop to be extradited from the Vatican to the Caribbean to face child sex charges.
We're deeply disappointed. And we're worried that the cleric may disappear before prosecutors and police in Italy, Poland and the Dominican Republic can apprehend him.
He's Archbishop Józef Wesolowski (though he was recently defrocked). In September 2013, he was exposed as credibly accused child molester, but only after Vatican officials had quietly whisked him to Rome.
We don't understand this ruling, nor the delays by law enforcement officials in three nations to pursue this dangerous cleric. We hope this ruling will be quickly overturned or that secular authorities in other countries will arrest him.
We hope Vatican officials do all they can to help police and prosecutors pursue Wesolowski and we hope that every single person who saw, suspected or suffered his crimes will find the courage to come forward, report to police, and start healing.
Lombardi: Former Nuncio Wesolowski does not have
diplomatic immunity
VATICAN CITY
Vatican Radio
Vatican Radio
(Vatican Radio) The Director of the Holy See Press
Office, Father Federico Lombardi, SJ, on Monday confirmed that former Apostolic
Nuncio Josef Wesolowski has appealed his “most serious canonical sentence” of
being returned to the lay state, in a canonical trial related to the sexual
abuse of minors.
“The appeal will be judged without delay over the course
of the coming weeks, most likely in October 2014,” Father Lombardi said.
The former Nuncio was recalled from the Dominican
Republic after the allegations were made, and was tried earlier this year on
canonical charges. Once the appeals process is complete in the canonical trial,
Wesolowski can face criminal charges in the Vatican City court system.
“It is important to note that former nuncio Wesolowski
has ceased functioning as a diplomat of the Holy See and has therefore lost his
related diplomatic immunity, and has been previously stated, the punitive
procedure of the Vatican’s civil judiciary departments will continue as soon as
the canonical sentence becomes definitive,” Father Lombardi said.
“Regarding stories that have appeared over the past few
days in various media, it is important to note that the Authorities of the Holy
See, from the very first moments that this case was made known to them, moved
without delay and correctly in light of the fact that former nuncio Wesolowski
held the position of a diplomatic representative of the Holy See,” he continued.

The Vatican has revoked the diplomatic immunity of a
former Polish archbishop who is accused of sexually abusing children while
serving as papal nuncio in the Dominican Republic.
“We must finally state that since former nuncio
Wesolowski has ended all diplomatic activity and its related immunity, he might
also be subjected to judicial procedures from the courts that could have
specific jurisdiction over him,” Vatican spokesman Reverend Federico Lombardi
outlined in a statement.
Reverend Lombardi stressed that Pope Francis has been
“duly and carefully informed” about the case and that “the Pope wishes to
address [the matter] justly and rigorously.”
The Dominican Republic's attorney general Francisco
Dominguez Brito has commented that the Vatican's announcement represents a
“just and positive” turning point.

Why Is Pope Francis Protecting a High-Ranking Pedophile?
UNITED STATES
Indian County Today Media Network

The latest
pedophile scandal involving the Roman Catholic Church raises a distressingly
familiar question: is the Church fighting to end sexual abuse by its priests,
or still trying to avoid responsibility? Even worse, from the Church’s
perspective, the current outrage calls into question the personal ethics of
Pope Francis, whose popularity with rank-and-file Catholics and with the faith
community generally is in the same league with that of John XXIII or John-Paul
II.
Pope Francis is
popular for the excellent reason that “humble” and “frugal” have not been
common words to describe those who have occupied the throne of St. Peter, and
this Pope has made very public efforts to emulate the life of a carpenter’s son
rather than a life of royal privilege. Still, the Pope has personal
representatives and many of them are accustomed to royal privileges.
The Papal Nuncio
to the Dominican Republic, Jozef Wesolowski, came to the attention of prosecutors
when Nuria Piera, General Director of Cadena de Noticias (CDN), a television
station owned by the principal newspaper in Santo Domingo, El Caribe, sent a
camera crew to chase down rumors that the nuncio had been luring boys to the
beach house (a perk of his office) to engage in sex for money. According to The
New York Times, Wesolowski caught the reporters following him and quit cruising
for boys on the beach. Instead, he sent a Church deacon, Francisco Reyes, to
pander for His Excellency.
(A Papal Nuncio
does not represent the city-state of Vatican City. He [always “he”] represents
the Holy See, and its personification, the Pope. Each nuncio is personally
selected by the Pope and, in Catholic countries, the nuncio is senior in
diplomatic protocol to secular ambassadors. Even in non-Catholic countries, the
nuncio has all the privileges and immunities of other ambassadors because the
Holy See is a signatory to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.)
Reverend Mr.
Reyes got arrested for solicitation of a minor on June 24, 2013. When nobody
from the Church appeared promptly to bail him out, he squealed and named names
of alleged child molesters in a letter written on July 2 to, among others,
Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus López Rodriguez, who flew to the Vatican and
presented the evidence directly to Pope Francis.
The Pope then
quietly recalled his nuncio on August 21 without informing Dominican
authorities of either the allegations or the recall, spiriting His Excellency
Jozef Wesolowski out of the Dominican Republic just ahead of an investigation
of numerous counts of child sexual abuse, which began in early September when
CDN ran Ms. Piera’s reports. Only then, did the Church announce that Pope
Francis had recalled his nuncio. The Vatican then invoked diplomatic immunity
to keep the nuncio from being tried for his crimes in the Dominican Republic.
After The New York Times reported the story in August of this year, the Vatican
reversed course and stripped Wesolowski’s diplomatic immunity, but hedged the decision
in a way that sends mixed messages.

Why The Times Identified and Photographed Teenagers in a
Sex Abuse Article
UNITED STATES
The New York Times - Public Editor's Journal
The New York Times - Public Editor's Journal
By MARGARET SULLIVAN
AUGUST 28, 2014
AUGUST 28, 2014
Several readers wrote to me concerned about a Times
article earlier this week that told the stories of some Dominican teenagers who
described sexual abuse by a former priest and Vatican official. They told me
they were surprised and dismayed to see the young people identified by name
with their photographs used in an accompanying gallery.
One reader, Julio César Diaz, who said he read the
article with particular interest because he is Dominican, said in an email:
I can’t help but feel a little sickened by the fact that
several child sexual abuse victims are named in the article. Their photographs
also appear in the gallery accompanying the article. I don’t think it’s ethical
to do this. I think sexual abuse victims’ identities should be protected,
especially if the victims are still children, as is the case of Darwin
Quervedo, who is 14 right now, according to the article, or Francis Aquino
Aneury, who is 17. Or do these protections apply only if the victims are
Americans?
And Dan Hortsch of Portland, a former ombudsman for The
Oregonian, wrote, in part:
Were the boys named as victims in the story given the
opportunity to not have their names reported and their faces photographed for
use with the story? Presumably they knew that they were being photographed, but
did The New York Times explain that they could remain anonymous? If not, the
matter is definitely disturbing.
Presumably, too, that is the practice with other victims
of sexual abuse unless the victims approve use of their names and photos. And
then the articles normally would explain that they were willing to be named and
photographed.
I understand the need for credible sources, but these
victims of sexual abuse are no different from anyone in this country. The fact
that one boy, 14, is described as speaking “haltingly, with eyes downcast”
about his experience makes clear the embarrassment.
These readers raise important concerns. I asked the
article’s author, Laurie Goodstein, who covers religion for The Times, to
explain how the teenagers were approached on this subject.
She responded:
The teenagers identified in the story as abuse victims
not only gave us permission for us to use their names and take their
photographs, but wanted their stories to be told. There is no double standard
here. I have found that some victims of sexual abuse feel that by going public,
they may help prevent other people from being victimized by their abusers, and
in this they find some purpose in their suffering. In the case of these
specific children, they wanted to give their testimony to someone because they
had not been interviewed by the authorities. We interviewed them on multiple
occasions, made it clear that their names and pictures would be published in a
newspaper and on the Internet, and they were sure that they wanted to proceed.

After Vatican removes immunity, Dominican court opens
abuse case against ex-diplomat

First Posted: August 27, 2014
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — A court in the
Dominican Republic has taken the first steps toward possible sexual abuse
charges against a former Vatican ambassador to the Caribbean country.
An investigative magistrate is examining allegations
against Josef Wesolowski to determine if there is sufficient evidence to
warrant criminal charges, the Santo Dominican prosecutor's office announced
late Tuesday.
The announcement came a day after the Vatican said its
former ambassador had lost his diplomatic immunity.
The Vatican recalled Wesolowski in August 2013 after allegations
emerged he had sexually molested boys there.
Dominican officials say his presence is not required in
the country for authorities to review an investigation of the allegations and
decide whether formal charges are warranted.
The court says it will begin interviewing alleged victims
on Sept. 2.
Dominican authorities have said their country's
investigation uncovered allegations that Wesolowski had paid at least six
minors to watch them masturbate and had recorded it with his mobile phone, but
prosecutors did not file charges because the nuncio had diplomatic immunity.
The case was highly sensitive, given that the Polish-born
Wesolowski was an ambassador of the Holy See — not just one of the world's
440,000 priests — and had been ordained both a priest and a bishop by St. John
Paul II.

Polish diplomat raises extradition for Vatican official
accused of sex abuse

Josephine McKenna | August 27, 2014
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Poland’s ambassador to the Holy See
has forcefully condemned the alleged sexual abuse of children by a Polish-born
former archbishop and Vatican diplomat, and said Warsaw is considering a fresh
request to extradite Jozef Wesolowski to face trial in his homeland.
Ambassador Piotr Nowina-Konopka said Wednesday (Aug. 27)
the Polish government was reviewing its options after the Vatican announced
this week that the former papal envoy to the Dominican Republic had been
defrocked and no longer had diplomatic immunity.
“We are currently analyzing the situation regarding immunity,”
the ambassador told Religion News Service in remarks that were unusually frank
for a diplomat, and especially one from a country that is as strongly Catholic
as Poland.
“Without doubt Poland considers the acts that the
archbishop is alleged to have carried out as particularly repugnant and Pope
Francis’ firm approach to that type of crime has won great respect and full
support in Poland,” Nowina-Konopka said.
Wesolowski, the 66-year-old former papal envoy to the
Dominican Republic, was quietly recalled from Santo Domingo last August after
rumors emerged that he had sexually molested young boys there. But he is also
wanted on sex abuse charges in Poland, though details of the charges were not
known.

Former Vatican ambassador Jozef Wesolowski could face

KASHMIRA GANDER Tuesday 26 August 2014
A former papal diplomat, who was defrocked over
allegations that he sexually abused young boys, has lost his diplomatic
immunity and could therefore face trial in the Dominican Republic, according to
the Vatican.
Authorities in the Dominican Republic, where Jozef
Wesolowski served as nuncio, or ambassador, said an investigation uncovered
allegations that Wesolowski had paid young boys to perform sexual acts.
However, prosecutors did not file charges because as nuncio, Wesolowski had
diplomatic immunity.
The Vatican has previously insisted in its handling of
the delicate case of Josef Wesolowski that he enjoyed diplomatic immunity and
that the Holy See doesn't extradite its own citizens.
But Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said in a

Will the Vatican extradite Josef Wesolowski?
UNITED STATES
dotCommonweal

Grant Gallicho August 25, 2014
Did you read Laurie Goodstein's disturbing story about the former papal nuncio to the
Dominican Republic, Josef Wesolowski? Do. Wesolowski was recalled to the
Vatican after it was alleged that he had sexually abused minors (Goodstein
spoke with several of his accusers). He was laicized, and could face a criminal
trial at the Vatican (Pope Francis updated Vatican criminal law last summer).
Obviously that isn't terribly comforting to some Dominicans who would rather
see him tried in the country where he committed his alleged crimes. If Pope
Francis is serious about reforming the church's response to clerical sexual
abuse, why did he allow Wesolowski to escape local justice?
According to a Vatican
statement released
this afternoon, the former nuncio may face extradition after all--because, now
that he's been laicized, he no longer enjoys diplomatic immunity.
Former nuncio Josef Wesolowski has recently appealed,
within the prescribed limit of two months, the most serious canonical sentence
of a return to the lay state that has been imposed upon him. The appeal will be
judged without delay over the course of the coming weeks, most likely in
October 2014.
It is important to note that former nuncio Wesolowski
has ceased functioning as a diplomat of the Holy See and has therefore lost his
related diplomatic immunity, and has been previously stated, the punitive
procedure of the Vatican’s civil judiciary departments will continue as soon as
the canonical sentence becomes definitive.
The statement continues, suggesting that Wesolowski was
returned to Rome so that he could be swiftly returned to the lay state and
relieved of his diplomatic duties, which means that he could be tried by
another country.
Regarding stories that have appeared over the past few
days in various media, it is important to note that the Authorities of the Holy
See, from the very first moments that this case was made known to them, moved
without delay and correctly in light of the fact that former nuncio Wesolowski
held the position of a diplomatic representative of the Holy See. This action
relates to his recall to Rome and in the treatment of the case in relation to
Authorities of the Dominican Republic.
Far from any intention of a cover-up, this
action demonstrates the full and direct undertaking of the Holy See’s
responsibility even in such a serious and delicate case, about which Pope
Francis is duly and carefully informed and one which the Pope wishes to address
justly and rigorously.

Das Urteil der Glaubenskongregation stellt die kirchenrechtliche Behandlung des
Falles dar, strafrechtlich muss sich Wesolowski noch vor den zuständigen
Gerichten des Vatikans verantworten. Der ehemalige Bischof ist Staatsbürger des
Vatikan.
Die Verhandlung in zweiter Instanz werde sehr bald
aufgenommen, so Lombardi, wahrscheinlich noch im Oktober dieses Jahres. Der
Vatikan habe kein Interesse daran, den Fall zuzudecken, fügte er mit Verweis
auf Medienberichte in den USA an, im Gegenteil, der Vatikan akzeptiere voll und

After being dismissed from the clerical state, according to a verdict by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the former nuncio in Santo Domingo Jozef Wesolowski, who is accused of enticing young boys on the beach and paying them for sexual favours, is not granted diplomatic immunity any longer and will thus be prosecutable in other countries. Other than in Santo Domingo, the former prelate is under investigation in Poland, his home country. The Director of the Holy See Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi, announced this while answering the questions of the press following an article in the New York Times that brought the issue back into the spotlight, criticising the Vatican for his management of the incident.
Wesolowski, who was recalled to Rome immediately after being accused, was reduced to the lay state in few months, which is the highest possible punishment for a priest in Canon law. Now, says Lombardi, the former archbishop “has recently appealed, within the prescribed limit of two months, the most serious canonical sentence of a return to the lay state”. It appears that the appeal will be judged within October. As soon as the canonical sentence becomes definitive, the punitive procedure of the Vatican’s civil judiciary departments will begin: if he is found guilty by them as well, he might go to prison.

A former Polish archbishop and diplomat has appealed
against his defrocking after a Vatican tribunal convicted him of pedophilia.
Jozef Wesolowski faces further criminal proceedings in Vatican City and
possibly beyond.
The Vatican announced Monday the former archbishop
66-year-old Jozef Wesolowski, who had served as the Vatican's diplomat for the
Dominican Republic and former Holy See ambassador, had appealed against his
defrocking.
In June, he was reduced to the status of a layman after
being stripped of his diplomatic title and defrocked after being found guilty
of child sex abuse and deemed unfit to be a priest by a Vatican tribunal. He
was the most senior Vatican figure to be punished for such a crime. His was the
harshest penalty the Vatican tribunal could rule against a cleric under canon
law.
He now faces a separate criminal trial in Vatican City
state courts - the first of its kind there - for sexual abuse and could face up
to 12 years in prison. As he no longer has diplomatic immunity, Wesolowski
could also face charges in the Dominican Republic, where there is a criminal
investigation against him on allegations he paid boys for sexual acts, or in
his native country of Poland.

Ex-Diplomat for the Vatican Could Be Tried
VATICAN CITY
The New York Times
The New York Times

AUG. 25, 2014
The Vatican’s former ambassador to the Dominican
Republic, who has been accused of paying underage boys there to engage in
sexual acts, has lost his diplomatic immunity and could ultimately face
prosecution in criminal courts outside of the Vatican, a spokesman for the
Roman Catholic Church announced on Monday.
The former ambassador, Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, has
already been defrocked by the Vatican, the harshest penalty under the church’s
canon law short of excommunication. Beyond that, the Vatican has also said that
it intends to try Mr. Wesolowski on criminal charges — the first time it will
hold a criminal trial for sexual abuse.
But the Vatican has also caused an uproar in the
Dominican Republic because it abruptly recalled Mr. Wesolowski last year before
he could face a criminal inquiry and possible prosecution there. Acting against
its own guidelines for handling abuse cases, the church failed to inform the
local authorities of the evidence against him, secretly recalled him to Rome,
and then invoked diplomatic immunity.
The Vatican has said in the past that because Mr.
Wesolowski was a member of its diplomatic corps and a citizen of the Holy See,
the case would be handled in Rome.
The announcement on Monday came a day after a New York Times article detailed the allegations against Mr.
Wesolowski and the Vatican’s handling of the case. In the Vatican’s statement
on Monday, the church said that it took the proper steps to make sure that the
allegations against Mr. Wesolowski were dealt with seriously.

Now, after a page
1 New York Times story, Vatican officials have striped a former archbishop of
his diplomatic immunity. We hope Josef Wesolowski is caught by police before he
flees.
It should not
take embarrassing international headlines to force the Vatican to turn over a
fugitive to law enforcement. Helping secular officials catch, charge and
convict child molesting clerics routinely, not rarely, should be the norm.
There isn’t much
progress when wrongdoers change only when caught.

The Monsignor,

himself with the Puerto Rican Catholic Church and visited the premises of what
will be the Shrine of Our Lady of Divine Providence in Cupey.
"We wish for
calm and serenity to follow the great paths of democracy. With serenity, the

difficult times, but things may always end well," [Wesolowski] stated
before celebrating the great Feast of Divine Mercy, which took place yesterday
at Lauro Dávila Félix Arena.
This was his first
visit to Puerto Rico, but the Polish-born cleric will return for the Congress
on the Family, which will be held in Mayagüez on the third week of April. He
was pleased with the affection he has been given in both Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic and pointed out that redoubling the Catholic Church's

According to an

invoked diplomatic immunity for Mr. Wesolowski so that he could not face trial
in the Dominican Republic."
Father Lombardi
responded that the Vatican, by recalling the diplomat from his post last
summer, "moved without delay and correctly in light of the fact that
former nuncio Wesolowski held the position of a diplomatic representative of

Defrocked
diplomat may become first priest accused of sexual abuse to be tried at the
Vatican
By Michelle
Boorstein August 25
The world may be
about to witness a first: the Vatican putting on trial one of its own officials
for sexual abuse. On Monday a Vatican spokesman said church authorities are in
the midst of figuring out what the procedure would even look like.
“This is history
in the making and we must wait to see how this will develop,” said the Rev.
Thomas Rosica, an English-language spokesman for the Vatican.
The case of Josef
which as a city-state has its own judicial systemi exploded earlier this summer
when the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith — the Vatican’s
doctrine-enforcing arm — found the former ambassador to the Dominican Republic
had sexually abused boys there and laicized, or defrocked, him. That was the
first time someone officially representing the pope had been punished for
sexual abuse. The Polish priest is appealing that decision.
On the criminal
front, media reported that Dominican authorities never charged Wesolowski
because he had diplomatic immunity. But that question reemerged this past
weekend when the New York Times quoted legal experts in the Dominican Republic
questioning why Wesolowski would not be forced to face his accusers locally.
Wesolowski was recalled to Rome in the summer of 2013 before local officials
could investigate there. Some advocates for clergy sex abuse survivors said the
case is a test for Pope Francis’s claim of zero-tolerance and that Wesolowski
should be imprisoned.

Former nuncio
Josef Wesolowski has recently appealed, within the prescribed limit of two months,
the most serious canonical sentence of a return to the lay state that has been
imposed upon him. The appeal will be judged without delay over the course of
the coming weeks, most likely in October 2014.
It is
important to note that former nuncio Wesolowski has ceased functioning as a
diplomat of the Holy See and has therefore lost his related diplomatic
immunity, and has been previously stated, the punitive procedure of the
Vatican’s civil judiciary departments will continue as soon as the canonical
sentence becomes definitive.
Regarding stories
that have appeared over the past few days in various media, it is important to
note that the Authorities of the Holy See, from the very first moments that this
case was made known to them, moved without delay and correctly in light of the
fact that former nuncio Wesolowski held the position of a diplomatic
representative of the Holy See. This action relates to his recall to Rome and
in the treatment of the case in relation to Authorities of the Dominican
Republic.
Far from any intention of a cover-up, this action demonstrates
the full and direct undertaking of the Holy See’s responsibility even in such a serious and delicate case, about
which Pope Francis is duly and carefully informed and one which the Pope wishes
to address justly and rigorously.
We
must finally state that since former nuncio Wesolowski has ended all diplomatic
activity and its related immunity, he might also be subjected to judicial
procedures from the courts that could have specific jurisdiction over him.

The case of a
former Vatican envoy in the Dominican Republic, who has been laicized for
molesting young boys, could test the Vatican’s determination to prosecute abusive
clerics, a New York Times article suggests.
In a detailed
report on the case of former Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, the former apostolic
nuncio to the Dominican Republic, the New York Times observes that the Vatican
did not inform civil authorities of evidence that the nuncio had engaged in
sexual abuse of children.
The Times story
reports that Wesolowski routinely preyed on young boys, until investigative
reporters in the Dominican Republic uncovered evidence of his misconduct. When
the Vatican learned of that evidence, in August 2013, the nuncio was quickly
recalled to Rome.
In June of this
year, the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith found Wesolowski guilty of
sexual abuse, and the archbishop was laicized. He remains in Rome, pending an
appeal of that canonical sentence, and could also face criminal charges before
a Vatican tribunal.

procedures from the courts that could have specific jurisdiction over

The Vatican
recalled Wesolowski last August after rumors emerged in the Dominican Republic
that he had sexually molested young boys there. The case was highly sensitive,
given that the Polish-born Wesolowski was an ambassador of the Holy See — not
just one of the world's 440,000 priests — and had been ordained both a priest
and a bishop by St. John Paul II.
This summer, a
Vatican tribunal found him guilty under canon law of abusing young boys and
defrocked him, the harshest sentence under church law and the first time such a
high-ranking Vatican official had been sanctioned for sex abuse. Wesolwski
recently appealed that sentence and a final decision is expected in October,
Lombardi said.
After that appeal
is heard, the Vatican's criminal courts will take up the case and jail time is
possible if he is found guilty.
As a papal
diplomat and citizen of the Vatican City State, Wesolowski faces criminal
charges by the tribunal of the Vatican City, which recently updated its laws to
specifically criminalize sex abuse of children. It is not clear, however, if
the new 2013 law can be applied retroactively.

The charges for child sexual abuse, hanging over the Vatican’s ex-ambassador to
the Dominican Republic, Jozef Wesolowski, have fueled the debate about the
diplomatic immunity the Pope's former envoy enjoys, which prevents him from
being tried outside the Vatican.
In its Sunday
edition the U.S. newspaper The New York Times published an article that highlights
how Wesolowski walked in the area of the monument to the 16th-century Spanish
friar Antonio de Montesinos, on the Malecon of Santo Domingo, in search of
minors to commit sexual acts.
According to the
article, the boys say he gave them money to perform sexual acts. They called
him “the Italian” because he spoke Spanish with an Italian accent.
“He definitely
seduced me with money,” Francis Aquino Aneury told The New York Times. He was
14 when the man he met shining shoes began offering him increasingly larger
sums for sexual acts. “I felt very bad. I knew it wasn’t the right thing to do,
but I needed the money.”

We call on

Reyes, who procured boys for the then-archbishop, by making announcements about
both clerics in parishes, urging those who saw, suspected or suffered their
crimes to come forward, get help and call police.
We call on
Dominican Catholics and citizens to stop donating to their dioceses until this
happens.
Finally, we call
on every person with knowledge of or suspicions about crimes by Wesolowski or
Reyes to find the strength to report to law enforcement. Secular authorities,
not church authorities, can best safeguard kids from those who commit, enable
or conceal heinous crimes against children.
We applaud the
courage of the Dominican boys who were sexually violated by this now-defrocked
Polish archbishop who Vatican officials continue to protect from prosecution.
For their healing, and for the safety of other children, Wesolowski must be put
behind bars immediately.

The Vatican moved
its top diplomat out of the Dominican Republic because of sex-abuse complaints,
failed to tell criminal authorities and then harbored him in Rome as his list
of accusers grew.
The case, reported Sunday by The New York Times,
underscores findings from our landmark 2004-2005 investigation into the
Catholic Church’s global transfers of predator priests.
In “Runaway Priests: Hiding in Plaint Sight,”
we found several accused clergy who fled to Rome with their superiors’ help. At
least two were fugitives from criminal charges.
Another priest we
featured was also a diplomat, an American who had been the Vatican’s No. 2 official
in India. A top aide to Pope John Paul II was warned in the 1990s that the
priest had abused an Ohio girl. But the priest remained on duty until around
the time of our inquiries in 2003.
Pope Francis has
vowed greater accountability in addressing the Catholic Church’s sex-abuse
crisis since taking over. Earlier this year, he begged victims for forgiveness.
Yet Pope Francis
was alerted to the Dominican Republic diplomat’s misconduct before the secret
transfer last August, authorities told The Times. The allegations should have
been reported to police, according to Vatican rules.

AUG. 23, 2014
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — He was a familiar figure to the
skinny shoeshine boys who work along the oceanfront promenade here. Wearing
black track pants and a baseball cap pulled low over his balding head, they
say, he would stroll along in the late afternoon and bring one of them down to
the rocky shoreline or to a deserted monument for a local Catholic hero.
The boys say he gave them money to perform sexual acts. They called him
“the Italian” because he spoke Spanish with an Italian accent.
It was only after he was spirited out of the country, the boys say, his
picture splashed all over the local news media, that they learned his real
identity: Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, the Vatican’s ambassador to the
Dominican Republic.
“He definitely seduced me with money,” said Francis Aquino Aneury, who
says he was 14 when the man he met shining shoes began offering him
increasingly larger sums for sexual acts. “I felt very bad. I knew it wasn’t
the right thing to do, but I needed the money.”

The case is the first time that a top Vatican ambassador, or nuncio —
who serves as a personal envoy of the pope — has been accused of sexual abuse
of minors. It has sent shock waves through the Vatican and two predominantly
Catholic countries that have only begun to grapple with clergy sexual abuse:
the Dominican Republic and Poland, where Mr. Wesolowski was ordained by the
Polish prelate who later became Pope John Paul II.
It has also created a test for Pope Francis, who has called child sexual
abuse “such an ugly crime” and pledged to move the Roman Catholic Church into
an era of “zero tolerance.” For priests and bishops who have violated children,
he told reporters in May, “There are no privileges.”
Mr. Wesolowski has already faced the harshest penalty possible under the
church’s canon law, short of excommunication: on June 27, he was defrocked by
the Vatican, reducing him to the status of a layman. The Vatican, which as a
city-state has its own judicial system, has also said it intends to try Mr.
Wesolowski on criminal charges — the first time the Vatican has held a criminal
trial for sexual abuse.
But far from settling the matter, the Vatican has stirred an outcry
because it helped Mr. Wesolowski avoid criminal prosecution and a possible jail
sentence in the Dominican Republic. Acting against its own guidelines for
handling abuse cases, the church failed to inform the local authorities of the
evidence against him, secretly recalled him to Rome last year before he could
be investigated, and then invoked diplomatic immunity for Mr. Wesolowski so
that he could not face trial in the Dominican Republic.
The Vatican’s handling of the case shows both the changes the church has
made in dealing with sexual abuse, and what many critics call its failures.
When it comes to removing pedophiles from the priesthood, the Vatican is moving
more assertively and swiftly than before. But as Mr. Wesolowski’s case
suggests, the church continues to be reluctant to report people suspected of
abuse to the local authorities and allow them to face justice in secular
courts.
The Vatican says that because Mr. Wesolowski was a member of its
diplomatic corps and a citizen of the Holy See, the case would be handled in
Rome. But even many faithful Catholics in this nation, home to the oldest
Catholic cathedral in the Americas, say they are unsettled that a Vatican
official could have been using children for sex, yet was not arrested and tried
in their own country.
“From the pure standpoint of justice, he should be tried in the country
where the acts took place because the conditions for trying him will not be the
same elsewhere,” said Antonio Medina Calcaño, dean of the faculty of law and
political science of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo. “But all we
can do is hope that the courts in the Vatican will treat this with the severity
that it really deserves.”
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, did not say when the
Wesolowski trial will start, who is representing the former nuncio, or whether
he is at liberty while he awaits trial. Under Vatican law, sexual abuse charges
can bring a maximum of 12 years in prison and a fine of nearly $200,000.
A Dominican bishop, Victor Masalles, visiting Rome in late June, said in
a Twitter message that he was surprised to see Mr. Wesolowski “strolling the
Via della Scrofa,” in the city’s picturesque ancient center. He added, “The
silence of the Church has hurt the people of God.”
A
Man Known as ‘The Italian’
The waterfront
promenade in the Dominican capital is dominated by a 50-foot
monument to the 16th-century Spanish friar Antonio de Montesinos, dressed
in robes and preaching the fiery sermon that made him famous: denouncing the
slavery and abuse of the indigenous people by their Spanish colonists.
It was at the
heel of this colossus, on the deserted upper plaza in the shadow of the friar’s
robes, Mr. Aquino said, that he was often molested by the man he knew as “the
Italian.” The man always chose a bench that would allow him to see the rare
visitor coming up the staircase, and would watch the boy masturbate, would
touch him or would touch himself, said Mr. Aquino, now 17. Other times, they
went to the rocky beach below the statue.
Mr. Aquino,
whose family is originally from Haiti, left school in the eighth grade, earning
$1.50 on a typical weekday by shining shoes. But he said that the man gave him
more than $10 the first time they met, in 2010, to shine his shoes and to swim
naked in the ocean while Mr. Wesolowski watched.
The man returned
often over the next six weeks, Mr. Aquino said. But gradually the man wanted
more, giving him from about $25 to as much as $135, as well as sneakers and a
watch, for sexual acts. They met on and off over three years, Mr. Aquino said,
but the man revealed little more than his first name, which he gave as “Josie.”
There is a mix
of shame and anger among the shoeshine boys who say they knew the man. Darwin
Quervedo, who is 14, said haltingly, with eyes downcast, that when he was 11,
the man gave him more than $25 to watch him masturbate down by the beach. He
said he felt scared, and never did it again.
When he learned much later of the man’s identity, Darwin said he thought to
himself, “What kind of a man who is a priest does things like this?”
The promenade is
a popular stretch for tourists and joggers. But it is also frequented by those
seeking children and young men for sex. With all this activity, Mr. Wesolowski,
in his track suit and running shoes, did not at first attract inordinate
attention. He also chose his victims carefully, the shoe shiners said.
“He wasn’t interested in me,” said Robin Quello Cintrón, 23. “He said I was
too old, that he liked the younger ones.”
“I warned the
younger kids, ‘Don’t go with him,’ ” said Mr. Cintrón, adding, “But the money
tempted them.”
Curbing child
sexual exploitation is a pressing issue in the Dominican Republic and many
countries, and the Catholic Church is among the many religious institutions
that have taken up the cause.
In March, Pope
Francis signed onto a campaign with other global religious leaders to
fight all forms of human slavery, including child prostitution. This month,
he sent a message for the opening of a refuge in Argentina for young victims
of sexual exploitation.
Still, two
United Nations panels in Geneva examining the church’s record on child sexual
abuse questioned the Vatican this year about its handling of the Wesolowski
case.
Mr. Wesolowski,
66, was ordained at 23 in Krakow by Archbishop Karol Józef Wojtyla, who later
became Pope John Paul II. In 1999, he was appointed papal nuncio to Bolivia,
and in 2002, he was reassigned to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and
Uzbekistan.
In 2008, he was
sent to the Dominican Republic. Mr. Wesolowski served as a ceremonial dean of
the international diplomatic corps here, convening an annual party in honor of
the country’s president. The posting came with a stately residence and access
to a beach house.
On the waterfront, Mr. Wesolowski attempted to disguise his rank, the boys
say. He drove a small gray-green Suzuki sport utility vehicle with rosary beads
hanging from the rearview mirror, they recalled, and parked it near the
monument in the colonial zone, where several streets are named for archbishops.
One day last
year, Nuria Piera, a prominent television journalist, received a tip that the
papal nuncio drank beer many afternoons at a waterfront restaurant, then went
off with young boys.
Ms. Piera sent a
video crew to surreptitiously film the nuncio, she said in an interview at CDN,
where she is general director. The crew shot some video of Mr. Wesolowski
drinking alone and walking the promenade, Ms. Piera said, but he noticed their
presence (though not the camera), walked over, smacked his hand against their
car and asked why they were following him.
After that, Ms.
Piera said, he disappeared from the waterfront. Her tipster never saw him there
again.
“I suspected that
there may have been a leak from our own office,” Ms. Piera said.
Mr. Wesolowski
began sending a young Dominican church deacon to procure children for him, law
enforcement authorities in the Dominican Republic say.
The deacon, Francisco Javier Occi Reyes, was arrested by the police on June
24, 2013, accused of solicitation of minors and taken to jail. But no one came
to bail him out, and the deacon sent an anguished letter dated July 2 to Mr.
Wesolowski, to be delivered to him by hand at his office.
“We have
offended God” and the church, the letter said, by sexually abusing children and
adolescents “for crumbs of money.” The deacon wrote that he had agreed to find
child victims for the nuncio so that “your sexual appetite can be satiated,”
but that he was now asking God for forgiveness.
“Hopefully you will consider asking for God to help you to walk away from
this evil disease of continuing to sexually abuse innocent children,” the
letter said, according to a copy obtained by The New York Times from a
Dominican Justice Ministry official.
The deacon sent
copies of the letter to Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus López Rodriguez, the head of
the church in the Dominican Republic, and to a Dominican bishop, Gregorio
Nicanor Peña Rodríguez. The cardinal then carried the evidence to the Vatican,
where he met directly with Pope Francis, according to interviews with the
Dominican authorities. On Aug. 21 last year, Mr. Wesolowski was secretly
recalled to Rome.
Six days later,
the cardinal called the papal nuncio “a great friend and promoter of peace.”
Neither the
cardinal, nor other church officials, reported the allegations to the local
authorities, Dominican officials say. Vatican guidelines
say that criminal sexual abuse accusations should be reported in countries
where reporting is required.
The country’s attorney general, Francisco
Domínguez Brito, and the district attorney of Santo Domingo,
Yeni Berenice Reynoso Gómez, both said in interviews that they first
learned about the allegations against Mr. Wesolowski from Ms.
Piera’s television reports, which were broadcast in early September and included
a child asserting that he had been abused.
Soon after,
church officials here told local news media that Mr. Wesolowski had been
recalled because of the allegations against him, prompting Cardinal Rodriguez
to confirm that he had gone to the Vatican to address the matter. He and other
church officials denied requests for an interview.
‘The Most
Terrible Case’
The district
attorney, Ms. Reynoso, said her investigators had identified four children aged
12 to 17 with whom the nuncio had sexual contact, but that there were likely
others.
The 17-year-old
had epilepsy, and the nuncio gave him medicine for his condition in exchange
for sexual acts, starting from when the boy was 13, the district attorney said.
She said she had “no doubt” about the credibility of the youths’ testimony,
because it was corroborated by other evidence.
“This is the
most terrible case that I have ever seen,” said Ms. Reynoso. “He was abusing
kids who were living in extreme poverty, in exchange for pills for a boy’s
illness. It’s very perverse.”
The Vatican sent
someone to the Dominican Republic last October to look into the case, but they
made no contact with the district attorney or anyone in her office, Ms. Reynoso
said. She forwarded her report to the country’s attorney general, who forwarded
it to the Vatican.
Ms. Reynoso said the case should have been prosecuted in the Dominican
Republic. “These children who were abused, and their families, and the Dominican
society, have a legitimate right to see Jozef Wesolowski judged by a jury — not
as a diplomat, but for what he really is,” she said. “A child abuser.”
Mr. Brito, the
attorney general, said he trusted that the Vatican would apply the “appropriate
discipline.” He said he did not seek to have Mr. Wesolowski extradited because
he has diplomatic immunity, and “the law would not allow it.”
According to
experts in international law, the Vatican could have waived diplomatic
immunity. In Santo Domingo, there have been small protests and petitions signed
by more than a thousand people calling on the Vatican to extradite Mr.
Wesolowski to the Dominican Republic. Advocates have accused the government of
acquiescing to the church. “We think there has been a lot of impunity in this
case, and no transparency,” said Sergia Galván, executive director of the Women and Health Collective,
which represents abuse victims. “If he’s no longer a diplomat, if he was
stripped of that title, he no longer has immunity.”
The case has
reverberated in Poland, where prosecutors have sought to extradite Mr.
Wesolowski, who holds both Vatican and Polish citizenship. Poland has indicted
another Polish priest, the Rev. Wojciech Gil, who fled the Dominican Republic
last year amid allegations that he abused altar boys in his rural parish.
Prosecutors in the Dominican Republic say that Father Gil and Mr. Wesolowski
spent time with young boys at the nuncio’s beach house.
There are
indications from Rome that the pope himself is concerned about the Wesolowski
case. A Dominican bishop, Fausto Ramón Mejía, said in an interview that when he
was part of a delegation visiting the Vatican late last year, Pope Francis’
smile vanished on hearing what country he was from.
“He became very
serious,” said Bishop Mejía. “He stopped and he said to me, very sincerely, ‘I
feel as though my heart was crossed by a dagger from what took place in the
Dominican Republic.’ ”
The case has
shaken this stalwart Catholic nation, but the church has said little. In one
group photograph released by the Dominican bishops, Mr. Wesolowski’s face appeared to have been
removed from the picture.
“The people used
to say, ‘I want my child to go to a Catholic church,’ ” said the Rev. Rogelio Cruz, a Catholic priest here.
“Now they say, ‘No child of mine is ever going to a Catholic church.’ ”

The Dominican Republic has the key to freedom from the Vatican Concordats if they would only use it and holler to the world and gather viral attention that their papal nuncio was a criminal pedophile for years and who left the country like a thief in the night last August 2013. He is now defrocked but it took a year before the Vatican laicised him because the Vatican needed his signature for all the billions of dollars he looted from the country via the Vatican Concordat. With his commission of millions of dollars, he is the wealthiest and savviest criminal member of the JP2 Army, thus one of the most dangerous predator of young boys.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - A court in the
Dominican Republic has taken the first steps toward possible sexual abuse
charges against a former Vatican ambassador to the Caribbean country.
An investigative magistrate is examining allegations
against Josef Wesolowski to determine if there is sufficient evidence to
warrant criminal charges, the Santo Dominican prosecutor's office announced
last week.
The announcement came a day after the Vatican said
its former ambassador had lost his diplomatic immunity.
The Vatican recalled Wesolowski in August 2013 after
allegations emerged he had sexually molested boys there.
Dominican officials say his presence is not required
in the country for authorities to review an investigation of the allegations
and decide whether formal charges are warranted.

10 REASONS TO ABOLISH THE PAPACY
10 Reasons why there should never be another
Pope
After Joseph Ratzinger publicly announced his plans to retire, quite a few people who are aware of this website or the @Fire_the_PopeTwitter account remarked how I got my wish or, jokingly, how my website may have led to the first resignation of a pope in 600 years.
Yes, I’ve had Ratzinger’s picture prominently displayed on this site and, given his long record both as the pope and as the one person responsible for handling all sex-crime cases in the Church, I strongly believed him to be incompetent at best.
However, FireThePope doesn’t just mean fire Joseph Ratzinger. FireThePope isn’t a cause to bring down one man. FireThePope is an effort to expose the entire Roman Catholic Church, as is, as fraudulent and there is no better way to do that than to start at the top.
The Roman Catholic Church sets itself apart from all other religions, including Christian denominations, by claiming its head, the pope, is the successor of Peter and that Jesus anointed Peter to be the head of his church. The Church points to Matthew 16:13-20 to support this claim. Catholics conclude the Roman Catholic Church is the “one true church” of Jesus Christ and all other Protestant or non-Roman orthodox churches are inferior to it.
Roman Catholics call their church “the bride of Christ” and “Holy Mother Church”. These nicknames market the idea that Roman Catholicism dates back to the days of Jesus Christ and it – or “She”, as they say – is the very foundation of Christianity and all other religions are mere offshoots or sequels to Roman Catholicism.
Ultimately, Roman Catholicism rests solely on the supremacy of Peter and the apostles. Without the supremacy of Peter, there would be no pope. Without the supremacy of the apostles, there would be no priesthood as the Roman Church defines it. Without the superhuman powers of Catholic priests, bye-bye sacraments, indulgences, and the entire institution.
Today, let’s focus on the papacy. Following are ten reasons why there should never be another pope and, if there is, he should be completely ignored by the Catholic laity, the media, politicians, and the public at large.
Because the Vatican bases its very existence on a scene from the New Testament, it must also accept other verses of the NT in order to be consistent. Either the NT should be accepted as true, non-fictional accounts or not. Either those accounts must be taken literally or not. But, one cannot say this is a source of truth, inspired by the Holy Spirit and then pick and choose which passages the Church wants to follow or not.
1. The church of Jesus Christ in the bible was not a physical empire. Matthew 24:1-2 - ”Jesus left the temple precincts then, and his disciples came up and pointed out to him the buildings of the temple area. His comment was: ‘Do you see all these buildings? I assure you, not one stone will be left on another – it will all be torn down.’” 1 Corinthians 3:16 – “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you?” Also, Peter 2:5-9 – “Be yourselves as living stones built into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Jesus preached in homes and on hillsides, not in buildings. He only went in to temples to draw people out of them or to scold the church leaders. The word catholic, found in the bible with a lower-case c, means universal. In the first century, the wordchurch (also lower-case c) meant a society of men, women, and children who are spiritually – not necessarily physically – united to serve God. According to the NT, Jesus established the catholic church – a universal society of believers who would offer spiritualsacrifices. I explain below who really instituted the Roman Catholic Church, which requires material (pagan) sacrifices.
2. The church of Jesus Christ was not built upon one man. The idea that the church of Jesus was built upon one man is preposterous. Yet, that is what the Roman Church claims. Its only foundation is the notion that Peter was chosen by Jesus to be the first pope and that all popes are Peter’s successors, chosen by the Holy Spirit and infallible in all of their declarations. Roman Catholicism teaches that the pope, acting on behalf of the Church (notice the capital C indicating the Corporation) has the power and a duty to act as a mediator between the Creator and his creatures. It has been a long-held tradition that the Vatican, the Magisterium, and the clergy would interpret the bible for the laity. However, 1 Corinthians 3:11 reads, “For other foundation no one can lay, but that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ”. According to scripture, Jesus, not Peter, is the foundation of the Christian church. Jesus is also the sole mediator, so says 1 Timothy 2:5: ”And the truth is this: ‘God is one. One also is the mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, and who gave himself ransom for all.” According to the New Testament where Catholics turn to justify the existence of their Church, there is only one mediator between God and the people and that is Jesus Christ, not Peter and not Joseph Ratzinger.
3. The church of Jesus Christ in the bible did not have a pope.The word pope is not in the bible, where the Roman Church points to as justification for itself. The early church described in the New Testament speaks of bishops who were overseers or local supervisors of the effort to spread Christianity. They were not rulers over the people. No one bishop had authority over any other. No one bishop was the head of the effort. There was a bishop in many major cities, including one in Rome. It so happened that certain Roman emperors (namely Constantine and Charlemagne) elevated the position and authority of the bishop of Rome, specifically, because they had the power to do so and because it was convenient as Rome was the seat of power. Emperors appointed bishops and abbots and usually appointed members of aristocratic families. The idea of a pope – one bishop over all others – was a corrupt power grab by murderous dictators and had nothing to do with Jesus Christ or anything in the bible.
4. The Peter of the throne was not the apostle but an impostor. Remember, the apostle Peter originally went by the name of Simon. Then, he was referred to as Simon Peter. Jesus named him Peter at the rock because the name Peter – or Petros (Greek) means rock. This Peter was from Cyprus, according to the bible. But, there is another Simon in the bible, this one from Samaria and he was a troublemaker. Locals called him Simon the

Magician. He claimed to be able to do magic tricks and held The Circus of Nero in Vaticanus Hill. Simon Magnus claimed he was God (hence, the magic) and he became a nemesis, a rival, and a thorn in the side of the apostle Peter. There was such trouble between the two that Emperor Nero set up a contest to settle their differences. Simon Magnus was killed after being thrown from his chariot and so Nero, who had favored him, had Peter arrested and thrown in jail. If there was a pope on a throne in the days of the early church, it was not Peter the Apostle but Simon the Magician. Simon sat on a throne; Peter never did. Simon claimed to be God; Peter never did. Simon claimed to have supernatural powers; Peter never did. Simon Magnus even started going by the name Peter in order to confuse people. They both had the same name, they both died in the same year – 67 A.D., and they both had spent time in Rome. The proof that the Simon of Samaria, not Cyprus, sat on the throne in Rome is the documentation that Magnus stayed in Rome for many years at a time while the apostle came and went quite often.
5. The apostle Peter never considered himself God or Jesus Christ. Again, the idea of the papacy rests on the supremacy of Peter. The Roman Church claims the pope is “Christ’s (sole) representative on earth”. The Peter whom the popes are supposed to have succeeded was married with at least one child – a daughter. He never sat on a throne and he never claimed to have magic powers or to be infallible. He never claimed to be better or more important than the other apostles or early leaders of the Christian church. He never dressed in fancy clothes, he never wore a ring to be kissed, and he never insisted on the red carpet treatment. Acts 10:25-27: “As Peter entered, Cornelius went to meet him, dropped to his knees before him and bowed low. Peter said, ‘Get up! I am only a man myself.’” When Nero sentenced Peter to death by crucifixion, Peter insisted on hanging on the cross upside down because he was unworthy to die as Jesus died. Peter the apostle, claimed by the Church as the first pope was never a pope and his philosophy and practices, according to the New Testament, were a far contrast to those of the papacy no matter who is holding the title.
6. The Roman Catholic Church was not established until the 4th Century. Roman Catholics claim Peter of the bible was the first pope and that there is an unbroken line of popes stretching from biblical times to present-day. This claim is nothing but a re-writing of history. The Church needs that lineage in order to justify itself and the papacy yet it does not have the facts on its side so they have to create a new reality. What the Church
Not Jesus’ interpretation of “church”.
has done is go back and list anyone who was a bishop of Rome as a pope. The actual papacy didn’t begin until the Roman Catholic Church began and that wasn’t until the 4th Century with Pope Constantine I – the emperor – who ruled from the “chair of St. Peter” from 306-337. Constantine came to the rescue of Christians who were being persecuted by Emperor Diocletian. It’s not that he was overcome by compassion but realized he could take political advantage from the growing number of Christians. This ties the pagan Roman Empire to the Catholic Church whose members also worship objects and offer material sacrifices.
7. The papacy was on life support as recently as 1870. In the mid-19th Century, there was an effort to unify Italy which was split in two by the Papal States governed by the pope, then Pope Pius IX (the one who dreamed up Immaculate Conception). Victor Emmanuel II, the new King of Italy, had seized all of the Church-controlled territory except a small segment of Rome. Napoleon, who had previously been an ally of Emmanuel, protected the pope and by having some of his troops stand guard at the Vatican. When the Franco-Prussia War intensified, Napoleon pulled his troops out of Rome, leaving the pope defenseless. The Italian troops moved in and the pope lost all of his temporal (civil) power minus rule over the tiny territory of the Vatican. Emmanuel allowed the pope to keep the Vatican and freed him from Italian rule but the pope was defiant. Pius IX refused to recognize Emmanuel’s new kingdom and he voluntarily kept himself a prisoner of the Vatican. He cried anti-Catholic bias until support and donations poured in for him, including from Catholics in America. The empire of the Roman Church was all but lost in 1870. It took more deception to keep it alive.
8. The papacy was corruptly propped back up by a fascist dictator. In the 1920′s, the Italian government wished to settle its differences with the Church. At the time, the Prime Minister of Italy was Benito Mussolini.
He conspired with the Vatican to shut out populist factions in the country in order to amass more power and control for himself. The Vatican silenced priests who favored a more democratic government. In return, Mussolini gifted the Church by officially recognizing the Vatican as an independent and sovereign city-state. Within the borders of Italy, popes would receive diplomatic immunity and the Church would receive financial reparations for its loss of the Papal States. Also, Roman Catholicism would be the one state religion in Italy. These agreements were called the Lateran Pacts and they are what revived the much weakened papacy. Mussolini would go on to become one of history’s most brutal dictators. Today, Vatican City, the whole 0.2 square miles of it, is recognized by the United Nations as a sovereign city-state of which the pope is head.
9. The pope is an absolute monarch at a time when most educated and reasonable human beings believe in freedom, democracy, and accountability. In 2011, the world witnessed what is now referred to as The Arab Spring. Ordinary people protested – many to their deaths – for freedom, respect, and democratic elections. Many citizens of some nations in the Middle East had been oppressed for generations and they finally decided it was time to take a stand against tyranny. It has been said there is a natural hunger to live freely, no matter what part of the world one lives. The pope is an absolute monarch, only one of a few that still exist and certainly the most powerful. As such, and because he enjoys diplomatic immunity both in Italy and out, he is accountable to no one. The pope is elected but not by the people he represents as in a democracy. He is elected by the same men whom he appointed to the College of Cardinals. Once a pope takes office, he is unaccountable to anyone inside the Church or out. This type of power is contrary to what the New Testament described when Jesus turned tables on the clergy. The pope, like Simon Magnus, claims to be God. Only someone with a God-complex would claim to be above the law and every other human being.
10. The papacy is not inspired by the Holy Spirit. If anything, it would be inspired by the spirit of Lucifer. As construction workers ready the Vatican chimney for the upcoming puffs of white smoke or black,
rational human beings are expected to believe that the Holy Spirit is guiding the process of the papal conclave. When cardinals vote a certain way, we are told, it was because the Holy Spirit told them to. It’s time for a reality check. Many of the men who will be voting – or running – for the next pope have blood on their hands – blood ofchildren. Yet, we are supposed to believe they have an inside track to the Holy Spirit. From the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church, throughout its history, and including today, Roman Catholicism has been a corrupt empire disguised as a Christian religion. I’ve heard many people credit it merely because “it has been around for 2,000 years”. It hasn’t been around that long and does it matter that it has only survived as long has it has because it has succeeded in fooling gullible people? Does it matter that it has grown as large as it has because many of its converts joined only under the threat of death? Does it matter than the majority of Catholics were entered into the Church before the age of reason? Catholics are quick to remind us of “all the good the Church does”. There isn’t a tyrant in history that couldn’t claim the same. Evil almost always presents itself in disguise – as something good. When deception is the foundation of an institution, no amount of superficial acts that come out of it can make it good. Deeds and institutions can only be good if they are based in truth. Like it or not, the spirit that is guiding the Roman Catholic Church isn’t holy, it is evil. And the only way to kill a serpent is by chopping off its head.

The Failure of the Sacraments
There’s an elephant quietly sitting in the nave that everyone on all sides of the clergy sex abuse crisis have been diligently ignoring, even the victims themselves. No clergy or even would-be reformers have really remarked on it yet, although it should be more obvious with each and every sad story. More importantly, it is a troubling issue that touches on the very heart and soul of Catholicism.
The monstrous truth is simply this: what the clergy sex abuse crisis clearly demonstrates is that the sacramental system has failed.
This is not just a case of hierarchical reneging of responsibility.There’s more to this than some bad apples. This is nothing that a few reforms can fix, some screening of seminarians or more pastoral responses by bishops. It is nothing less than a fundamental challenge to the entire Catholic Church, and it shows that the spiritual principles the whole structure is supposedly based on simply do not work.
Think about it. The offenders here are Roman Catholic priests, highly trained men. But unlike other professionals, these men are supposedly set apart and dedicated to lives of the spirit. They claim to have the power to forgive sins and make God appear.
They not only administer the sacraments to others, but also receive them themselves daily. That means, among other things, frequent confession to other priests. Moreover, many of these men belong to religious orders or are otherwise under close spiritual direction. They are supposed to confide everything to their confessors and superiors and to obey them unquestioningly.
So what went wrong? When an abusive priest goes to confession, does he start, “Bless me, father, for I have sinned: I buggered an altar boy three times this week”? And does the confessor tell him to say 3 Our Fathers and 4 Hail Marys and not to do it again?
According to their own theory, confessors have the power to forgive sins, but also to refuse to do so if sorrow is insufficient. Moreover, they are to appoint penances – if they wish, they can require satisfaction or significant signs of reform from the penitent before absolution. Some sins – such as solicitation for sex in the confessional – are even deemed so serious that only higher prelates, sometimes only the Pope or his appointed delegate can forgive them.
Yet the abusers continue to abuse. So are the sexually active priestslying to their confessors? This would mean that not only do the perpetrating priests remain in a state of mortal sin and are automatically excommunicated, they perform the sacraments in that state which is itself a grave sacrilege.
Or, even worse, are all the abusive priests linked? Do they only go to confession to like-minded perps who will understand? Is there then an organized network of sexually perpetrating priests, all busily enabling each other? This adds collusion and conspiracy to the sinand would indicate that the very structure itself is rotten to the core.
The evidence available suggests that perhaps both scenarios are true to varying degrees in different situations. Either way, however, the result is much the same.
The sacraments are meant to unite believers with Christ. Not just to remove the accumulations of sin like the weekly laundry, but togradually improve the recipient. They are intended to sanctify and uplift the faithful, increase devotion to God, charity to fellow humans, and moral stamina in the face of evil.
If the sacraments actually worked like this, wouldn’t we hear ennobling stories of clerical reform, of some molester inspired to truly repent and devote himself to the cause? But rather, the stories are depressingly the same, of priests caught time and again, transferred, treated, and now finally, laicized often against their will, with no regret or even acknowledgement of their evil.
What this means, each person must decide in their own conscience. But perhaps the fall off in confessions over the years itself tells the story. Why should anyone, lay or not, risk a ritual that seems so impotent in promoting reform and may, instead of granting grace, actually expose them to greater human wickedness?
The MASS is fake flesh of Christ
Transubstantiation or the Mass is a recent development . St. Peter and St. Paul and the Apostles never celebrated Mass and never “transubstantiation” the bread into the flesh of Christ, what they did was to preach about Christ. The Mass was a slow development from the 12th century through various liturgical reforms until the 20th century. It was only in 1215 at the Fourth Council of the Lateran that the Mass began to take form and in 1551 at the Council of Trent that transubstantiation became what it is today. The Vatican has come to use it as its main crux of power on earth deceiving Catholics and peoples of all faiths that only Popes and men-priests have the exclusive power to transubstantiate God’s flesh. Because of the Mass, the Vatican has gotten away with all kinds of heinous crimes, e.g. the Crusades, the Inquisition, the burning of women and witcheshttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006/11/john-paul-ii-revived-inquisition.html “For the sake of the Eucharist” and because of the shortage of priests, John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger-Benedict XVI, the Opus Dei who controls the Vatican, the Cardinals and Bishops shuffled pedophile priests from one parish to another. The rest is history: the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army committed Holy ES Eucharist-and-Sodomy of Biblical proportions see the John Paul II Millstone http://jp2m.blogspot.com/.
In the name of Hail Mary, we dare challenge and defy the Magisterium: No words pronounced by any finite-man can create an infinite-God! No words of the Pope and priests can re-create or re-incarnate Christ’s flesh. The words of sinful popes and priests are powerless and can never create God! Only Mary the Immaculate Conception deserved to bear God in her womb. No evil pope and evil priests is worthy to touch and hold God in their evil hands. The words of popes and Cardinals, Bishops and priests are mere clashing-cymbals of St. Paul see John Paul II the Great clashing cymbal of St. Paulhttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/11/john-paul-ii-great-clashing-cymbal-of.html. See Benedict XVI to beatify John Paul II is “brought to nothing” by St. Paul http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/11/benedict-xvi-to-beatify-john-paul-ii-is.html
No matter how we look at it, finite-man cannot create an infinite-God. Man can never create God’s flesh. Not in in-vitro fertilization of the scientific laboratories. Not in the sacred altars of holy Roman Catholic churches which by the way were the same pedophile altars of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army See the John Paul II Millstonehttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/
Rome, call us heretics and we don’t care because in Boston and in America, we have freedom of speech. It was our freedom of speech that got rid of criminal-Cardinal Bernard Law and sent him packing out of our sight and out of our land. But only you, Rome, you the Roman Catholic Church a.k.a. Magisterium would glorify criminals like Cardinal Bernard Law and John Paul II. No other American state has been able to replicate our courage as Bostonians who got rid of the first Cardinal caught guilty of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in America. Yes, we caught the first SS officer of the Third Reich of the Roman Catholic Church … but he went into glorious exile in Rome because only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified See The John Paul II Millstone John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army expands into Ireland &John Paul is elevated as "Venerable"... only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorifiedhttp://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-paul-ii-pedophile-priests-army.html
Benedict XVI, from the Chair of Peter, thinks his papal letter will heal the victims and solve the problem of clergy abuse in Ireland. The fact is, Benedict XVI’s words are powerless. NO POPE has ever healed anyone. As this picture shows,
They came sick and
they left sick.
There is NO
"Apostolic" authority or succession here,
for NO Pope has EVER been able to heal like
Peter or Paul did.

People, please STOP DONATING to the ORATORY and STOP LIGHTING CANDLES to St. Joseph and instead donate your money to Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, your local charities, and the homeless shelters of Montreal.God will listen more to your prayers in your acts of charity because they are better than material candles and money you give to the wealthy billionaire CSC religious Holy Cross family of Saint Brother Andre. If you were to face Christ on Judgement Day today, He will not ask you how many candles you have lit at the Oratory of St. Joseph, but how many poor people you have helped, as He has said, “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you have also done to Me.”
ZEUS GIANT SAINT JOSEPH did NOTHING to stop pedophile priests of the Congregation de Sainte-Croix happening right before his very eyes for 50 years
If you live in Los Angeles, or elsewhere in the USA or in the world, and are planning a “pilgrimage” to the Oratory of St. Joseph or flying to the Vatican, DON'T GO and instead DONATE that pilgrimage money to the Red Cross or your local charity - or sponsor a poor student and pay for his or her school supplies and school lunch for a year, or feed a homeless person for a year at McDonald's, instead of flying to Montreal to see the Oratory or the Vatican Mammon Beast - and God will listen more to your prayers in your act of mercy rather feeding the Vatican Mammon Beast or St. Joseph Oratory Mammon Beast copying the Vatican Titanic sinking in moral bankruptcy.http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2012/12/oratory-of-st-joseph-copy-vatican.html

The Pope and the Vatican have no political authority and no influence in Rome or in Italian Parliament.
The false (old) statement is, Catholics are “Roman Catholics” of the “Roman Catholic Church”.
The true (new) statement is, Catholics are “Vatican Catholics” of the “Vatican Catholic Church”.
But the Vatican cling-on to Rome and use its Roman Coliseum to latch-on to the fame of the gladiators and the Hail Caesars as the Pope copy-cat the powers of Caesars which Forbes described Benedict XVI as the 5th Most Powerful Person in the world, read here Forbes delusion of Vatican Last Tsar Benedict XVI powershttp://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2012/12/forbes-delusion-of-vatican-last-tsar.html.

People, please STOP DONATING to the ORATORY of St. Joseph and instead donate your money to Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, your local charities, and the homeless shelters of Montreal.
God will listen more to your prayers - through your acts of charity - because they are better than material candles and money you give to the wealthy billionaire CSC religious Holy Cross family of Saint Brother Andre.
God said in the Bible: It isn’t material sacrifice that I want, but acts of mercy.
If you were to face Christ on Judgement Day today, He will not ask you how many candles you have lit at the Oratory of St. Joseph, buthow many poor people you have helped, as He has said, “Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you have also done to Me.”
Christ also said, when you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to your Father in secret, and he will hear your prayers
Pope John Paul II and all popes and cardinals and bishops mitres
Because of his biggest heist crime between the Vatican Bank and secret Vatican Swiss Banks - Pope Francis is the greatest pretender and impostor of Jesus and Pope Francis is NOT the Vicar of Christ but the Vicar of the Devil.

The 1.2 billion Catholics are Francis-Maniacs and together with Pope Francis fit like a glove in what Jesus said: Your father is the devil. You are his children, and you want to do what your father wants. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has never stood for the truth, because there's no truth in him. Whenever that liar speaks, he speaks according to his own nature, because he's a liar and the father of liars. (John 8:44 CEB).
Pope Francis is the worst con-artist and CON-Christ more than John Paul II and Benedict XVI-RATzigner and all popes combined. He fits perfectly that last pope portrait in the gallery of 266 popes (as predicted by Nostrasdamus) and he warrants the prediction of The Third Secret Fatima on the destruction of the Vatican like the Temple of Solomon wherein not one pillar will be left standing. The Temple of Solomon was filled with jewels and was the wealthiest in the kingdoms of the world exactly like the Vatican is the wealthiest today especially with the hundreds of billions heist of Pope Francis, read more here Hidden Heist in the Holy See?

Pope Francis & Cardinals: “Princes” of the Vatican Catholic Church in their Emperor’s Clothes regalia and diplomatic passports as they follow “Jesus walking ahead” http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/pope-francis-cardinals-princes-of.html
When Jesus said these words, he was saying it to the self-righteous Pharisees who were constantly praying in the Temple of Solomon or synagogues, and today, those would be the Opus Dei and the Catholics who are Francis-Maniacs especially at the Vatican and St. Peter’s Square.
A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came so that my sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need. John 10:10 GW Pope Francis is the greatest thief of mankind who does not provide for his Sheep except the fake Host in the Sorcery of the Eucharist where he is a Merlin HOAX magician who cannot clone ants and dogs and therefore cannot clone Christ either.
In the history of the Vatican Catholic Church, it is possible to be both a magician and a rapist at the same time –– to be a magician magically cloning Christ everyday in the Eucharist and be a bestial rapist holy father saintly missionary -- like Belgian missionary Father Eric or like the Italian Franciscan saint who raped countless virgin brides in a town in China in the 18th century - but was canonized by John Paul II nonetheless amidst Chinese protest, read more here http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/2007/09/john-paul-ii-canonised-rapist-in-china.html
