Discussion on GQ feature story: "A Spy in the House of the Lord"
I wasn't able to take this magazine home, as it belonged to a doctor's office, but today (I think it was the March edition 2013) I picked up a copy of GQ (Gentleman's Quarterly) that happened to have a huge feature on Paolo Gabriele, former Pope Benedict's ex-butler, who was imprisoned (then released on the stipulation that he never work or visit at the Vatican again) for his trouble.
The magazine article mentioned a network of concerned "moles" at the Vatican who operated together under codename "Maria" in order to contact a specific journalist (Nuzzi), hoping to launch a huge expose into the darker side of the Vatican.
Gabriele was cited as being very well versed in his knowledge of the Vatican intelligence networks and the Freemasons! This was mentioned in the article, near the middle. He had collected about 1,000 documents from the Vatican, some secret and some not, and with the help of this Nuzzi the two of them actually wrote a book, which you guys already heard about.
The article mentioned that the Vatican intelligence network is so seriously good that even the Simon Wiesenthal Nazi hunters go to them for info!
I was especially intrigued by the fact that Paolo was researching Freemasonry and the dealings of the church in general. It sounds like he would be a great member here with all the knowledge he has. In fact it would be awesome if some more journalists got some stories out of him and helped him financially.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatileaks_scandal
______________________________________________________________The Vatileaks scandal[1][2][3] is a scandal initially involving leaked Vatican documents, allegedly exposing corruption; an internal Vatican investigation purportedly uncovered the blackmailing of homosexual clergy as well.[4] The scandal first came to light in late January 2012 in a television programme aired in Italy under the name of The Untouchables (Gli intoccabili). Further information was released when Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi published letters from Carlo Maria Viganò, formerly the second ranked Vatican administrator to the pope, in which he begged not to be transferred for having exposed alleged corruption that cost the Holy See millions in higher contract prices. Viganò is now the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States. The name "VatiLeaks" is a play on the word WikiLeaks, a not-for-profit media organisation whose goal is to bring important news and information to the public; providing an anonymous way for sources to leak information to their journalists.
Over the following months the situation widened as documents were leaked to Italian journalists, uncovering power struggles inside the Vatican over its efforts to show greater financial transparency and comply with international norms to fight money laundering. In early 2012, an anonymous letter made the headlines for its warning of a death threat against Pope Benedict XVI.[2] The scandal escalated in May 2012 when Nuzzi published a book entitled His Holiness: The Secret Papers of Benedict XVI consisting of confidential letters and memos between Pope Benedict and his personal secretary,[5] a controversial book that portrays the Vatican as a hotbed of jealousy, intrigue and underhand factional fighting.[6] The book reveals details about the Pope's personal finances, and includes tales of bribes made to procure an audience with him.[7]
Vatican internal investigation
Pope Benedict appointed a commission of cardinals to investigate the leaks in March 2012. The Vatican probe into the leaks worked along several tracks, with Vatican magistrates pursuing the criminal investigation and the Vatican secretariat of state an administrative probe. The three cardinals appointed by Benedict acted in a supervisory role, looking beyond the narrow criminal scope of the leaks to interview broadly across the Vatican bureaucracy; they purportedly uncovered a sexual and blackmail scandal.[8] They reported directly to the pope, and could both share information with Vatican prosecutors and receive information from them, according to Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi. The group was headed by Cardinal Julian Herranz, an Opus Dei prelate who headed the Vatican's legal office as well as the disciplinary commission of the Vatican bureaucracy before retiring.[1]
[edit]Arrest of Paolo Gabriele
Paolo Gabriele, who had been the pope's personal butler since 2006, leaked the stolen information to Gianluigi Nuzzi. He was arrested on 23 May 2012 after confidential letters and documents addressed to the pope and other Vatican officials were found in his Vatican apartment. The arrest was made by Vatican police, who claimed to have found classified documents in his apartment that Gabriele shared with his wife and three children.[5][9] Similar documents had been published in Italian media over the previous five months; many of them dealt with allegations of corruption, abuse of power and a lack of financial transparency at the Vatican.[10]
"The Devil Is in the Holy See" ~Vatican Exorcist, 2010 Prophecy of Doom for the Catholic Church!

Father Gabriele Amorth said people who are possessed by Satan vomit shards of glass and pieces of iron.
He added that the assault on Pope Benedict XVI on Christmas Eve by a mentally unstable woman and the sex abuse scandals which have engulfed the Church in the US, Ireland, Germany and other countries, were proof that the Anti-Christ was waging a war against the Holy See.
"The Devil resides in the Vatican and you can see the consequences," said Father Amorth, 85, who has been the Holy See's chief exorcist for 25 years.
"He can remain hidden, or speak in different languages, or even appear to be sympathetic. At times he makes fun of me. But I'm a man who is happy in his work."

Sex parties
Father Amorth has claimed that an Italian schoolgirl who went missing in Rome in 1983, was kidnapped for sex parties by a gang involving Vatican police and foreign diplomats. He said that the girl (Emanuela Orlandi) was later murdered and her body disposed of. Father Amorth claims that girls were recruited for parties at the Vatican and that the death of Emanuela Orlandi “was a crime with a sexual motive”.[15]
Gabriel's Horn and the Holy Spirit: Those Who Hear the Call
Have you ever felt driven to deliver a message of uncertain origin?
Gabriel's Horn (also called Torricelli's trumpet) is a geometric figure which has infinite surface area, but finite volume. The name refers to the tradition identifying the Archangel Gabriel as the angel who blows the horn to announce Judgment Day, associating the divine, or infinite, with the finite. The properties of this figure were first studied by Italian physicist and mathematician Evangelista Torricelli.
