The Vatican's No. 2 official on Monday blamed the media — and the devil — for fueling the scandal over leaked Vatican documents.
Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone told an Italian Catholic weekly that journalists reporting on the leaks scandal are "pretending to be Dan Brown… inventing stories and replaying legends." The reference to Brown is particularly acute; Brown wrote The Da Vinci Code and Angels andDemons, the best-selling fictional accounts of power struggles and scandals inside the Catholic Church.
The Vatican has been on the defensive ever since sensitive documents alleging corruption and exposing power struggles began appearing in the Italian media in January. A recent book containing dozens of documents from Pope Benedict XVI's own desk has compounded what many see as a plot to undermine Bertone's authority....
the devil made him do it wrote: Which of these rings true? (a.) The Devil attacks. (b.) The Roman Curia are nincompoops. (c.) The Swiss Guard, so stylish in garb, can't locate the bad guy. (d.) The elite ELCA Republican Guard has finally infiltrated Rome.
to call this entity a church or the church could not be further from the truth.Young lives ruined countless millions slaughtered ,nations troubled ,some of the handiwork of this organisation.(BTW history recent and past confirms).The rise of crosses, idolitary and other gimmicks, etc in the reformed churches needs to be staunched and speedy and truthful return to the solas practiced.
Now, how can this cardinal blame the devil, when the father of lies is also the father of the Romish church? excerpt from the article,
"The attempt by the Vatican to blame the media for the leaks is to some degrees a repeat of 2010, when several Vatican officials blamed journalists for fueling the sex abuse scandal that had re-ignited that year. Thousands of people came forward, mostly in Europe, with reports that priests had raped and molested them when they were children.
'Eventually, Benedict himself put the blame-game to rest when he admitted that the abuse was "born from the sins within the church," not from the media'
Which of these rings true? (a.) The Devil attacks. (b.) The Roman Curia are nincompoops. (c.) The Swiss Guard, so stylish in garb, can't locate the bad guy. (d.) The elite ELCA Republican Guard has finally infiltrated Rome.
