Always good to out any kind of pedo news but I do not really see this as "progress" in regards to pizzagate. We all have known about pedophile priests, the protection of pedo priests... as well as pay outs to victims for many, many years. It was in newspapers, (back when they were popular) magazines, and even discussed on Oprah type talkshows. Pedophilia within the Catholic Church is a well-known subject. The fact that it is endemic in world governments, including our own, is what needs to get out.
The State Department said it had asked the Vatican to lift the official's diplomatic immunity on Aug. 21. It said that request was denied three days later. For the State Department to make such a request, its lawyers would have needed to be convinced that there was reasonable cause for criminal prosecution. I am from now on refusing to capitalize the word pope and francis from now on. He is not worthy. He is a Jesuit. He does not speak for the True Jesus nor for me, a Catholic. I renounce you bergoglio.
The diplomat would be the second from the Vatican's diplomatic corps
to face possible criminal charges for such crimes during Francis' papacy. Any trial in the Vatican would come as Francis' own financial czar,
Cardinal George Pell, is on trial in his native Australia
for alleged historic sex abuse cases.
Wonder if the DR envoy got his kids from Haiti? Should probably research his name and find out who he knew and what was happening in 2013
The Vatican has recalled envoys before —
including its former ambassador to the Dominican Republic
, who was recalled in 2013 after being accused of sexually abusing young boys on the Caribbean island
Attorney General Francisco Domínguez Brito was careful to note that his office is aware only of rumors about the papal nuncio,
Archbishop Josef Wesolowski
, and has not received any accusations.
A Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed that Wesolowski had been removed from his post and that the church was investigating him. He declined to provide any details about the accusations against the Polish-born prelate.
A nuncio is the pope's ambassador
Nevertheless, International Business Times reported initial details of the crime in which Vatican detectives analyzed a computer used by former Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski. What they found was a massive child porn stash of over 100,000 sexually explicit files — 160 of the videos showed teenage boys forced to perform sexual acts on themselves and on adults, and more than 86,000 pornographic photos were meticulously archived in several category-based folders. If that isn’t enough evidence of this sick pederast’s sexual exploits, authorities were able to dig up 45,000 more pictures which were previously deleted. They also found a second stash of similar disgusting material on a laptop Jozef Wesolowski used during trips abroad.
The Vatican's former ambassador to the Dominican Republic, the highest-ranking Holy See official to ever be charged with sexually abusing young boys, was found dead Friday as he awaited trial, the Vatican said.
In a statement, the Vatican press office said preliminary checks on Jozef Wesolowski, 67, "indicated that the death was from natural causes."
Charges included possession of what prosecutors described as enormous quantities of child pornography on his two computers, including after Wesolowski was recalled to the Vatican in 2013 following the emergence of rumours that he sexually abused shoeshine boys near the waterfront in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.
Wesolowski was the first such high-ranking Vatican prelate to be criminally charged at the Holy See for sexually abusing minors.
The case was particularly delicate because Wesolowski wasn't just another priest, but rather a direct representative of the pope and had been ordained as a priest and bishop by his fellow Pole, St. John Paul II.
