Australia: a new Church pedophile scandal erupts
By Jon Rappoport
Reuters, June 29, from Sydney and Vatican City:
"A top adviser to Pope Francis was charged with multiple
historical sex crimes in his native Australia on Thursday, bringing a
worldwide abuse scandal to the heart of the Vatican."
"Appointed Vatican economy minister by Francis, Cardinal
George Pell is the highest-ranking Church official to face such
accusations. He asserted his innocence and said the pontiff had given
him leave of absence to return to Australia to defend himself."
"But Pell, a former archbishop of Melbourne and Sydney, had
come under pressure from an Australian government commission on
institutional child abuse, and had himself been under investigation for
at least a year."
What are the chances Cardinal Pell survives this scandal?
Already ill, will he conveniently die before the Australian
investigation puts him through the wringer?
The intrigues of the Vatican are endless, and they always
have been. The silent wars taking place between factions have taken many
forms. In this case, Cardinal Pell was originally appointed by Pope
Francis to clean up the financial mess (numerous scandals) in the
Church, but Pell ran into roadblocks as he tried to push that agenda
forward.
Whether Pell is innocent or guilty of pedophilia, it's
possible that power blocs within Vatican City decided to discredit him
and sideline him, in order to maintain secrecy about the money crimes
they've been committing---they ramped up the pedophile investigation in
Australia to take Pell out of the picture.
Since their earliest days, the Vatican has been a money
machine, using religion as a front to raise cash. In the process, the
Church "fathers" have condoned and/or participated in child sexual abuse
and rape.
It's absurd to think pedophilia in the Church rears its ugly
head here and there, now and then. It's institutional and embedded and
always has been.
As I mentioned in a previous article about another subject,
the limited hangout is a typical strategy of large organizations, when
faced with exposure. Confession of a crime is made, as if the offense is
highly unusual or limited to a particular person or sub-group, and a
promise is made to investigate and root out the problem. But the real
goal is: admit a "mistake," make that the whole story (when it isn't),
and hope the wider ongoing crime vanishes from public consciousness.
"Well, it was just that one cardinal and some other pedophile
bishop we heard about. I'm glad the Church is remedying the
situation..."
Not on your life. The Church IS that situation, all over the world.
In the case of Cardinal Pell, a covert Church op can be
taking place on several levels at once: Discredit Pell, smash his
reputation in order to keep hiding financial crimes inside the Vatican;
and produce a limited hangout by admitting that Pell is guilty of
pedophile acts, as if he is the exception rather the rule.
For purposes of this covert op, it doesn't matter whether
Pell is, in fact, guilty or innocent. It only matters that he serves a
purpose.
The public at large, of course, never gets to see the actual op. They only get to see what the Vatican wants them to.
If this sounds like we're talking about an intelligence
agency, a CIA, for example, and its devious strategies, we are
definitely talking about that. The CIA and every other intelligence
agency in the West has, over time, learned much from the machinations of
Vatican City.
The Papacy and its right arm, the Jesuits (you can reverse
that order of power and control) is the granddaddy of all intelligence
operations; but that's another story for another time.
