If only Miami Vice had been there!

Freeze, you old queer!

Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio implicated.

Police reportedly raided a Vatican-owned apartment and arrested an aide to one of Pope Francis' key advisers.
Vatican police have reportedly raided a Vatican-owned apartment and arrested an aide to one of Pope Francis' key advisers.
Police in late June found widespread drug-use and men engaged in ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ activity during the bust at the home owned by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, according to Il Fatto Quotidiano, an Italian newspaper that first reported the incident. Among its duties, the congregation guides the Church's response to clerical sɛҳuąƖ abuse cases.
Authorities reportedly arrested the secretary of Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, who was an occupant of the apartment, but official charges in connection with the incident have not been reported. Coccopalmerio, who serves as president of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts and leads interpretations of the laws of the Church, is said to have recommended his secretary for a promotion to bishop.
Police were reportedly tipped off by neighbors, who complained of unusual behavior and "a constant coming and going" from the apartment.
The newspaper described the pope as "enraged," and said the aide was first taken to a clinic and hospitalized to detox from the drugs he had used, and "is currently in retreat at a convent in Italy."
This scandal comes on the heels of Cardinal George Pell's return to Australia to defend himself against charges related to multiple historical sex crimes. Pell, a top adviser to the pontiff, is the highest-ranking church official to face abuse allegations.
Days after granting Pell a release, Pope Francis also removed German Cardinal Gerhard Mueller as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, according to The Associated Press. It is unclear if the reported drug arrest played any part in the pope's decision.
The pope has vowed a "zero tolerance" approach to abuse, but victim advocates have said poor personnel decisions and the global abuse scandal reaching the heart of the Vatican has tainted his legacy.

I've often wondered for a long time if these priests, bishops or cardinals who get busted for these disgusting sins actually believe in God. How can anyone who professes to represent Jesus Christ through Holy Orders habitually engage in sins & crimes that surely damn a soul to hell, unless they really don't believe it's a sin or they don't believe in God? Their entering the Church's ministry was a way for them to live comfortable lives paid for by Sunday tithes.

And these are the demons in top positions of the Conciliar church. The good ole boy club of crypto-queers recommending other queerdos to the bishopric.

Our greatest enemies aren't the atheists who want to close us down. They are the atheists within.

If you’ve been following the news this week, you’ve probably seen sensational reports about a gαy-sex-and-cocaine ring at the Vatican. The stories, alas, are true. But the details have been thoroughly garbled in virtually every media report.
What actually happened?
Last week a Vatican staffer was arrested by Vatican police who raided his apartment and discovered that a drug-fueled ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ orgy was taking place.
The official who was arrested, Msgr. Luigi Capozzi, was not a top-ranking Vatican official, but he was the private secretary to Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts: the Vatican body charged with the intepretation of canon law. Msgr. Capozzi has now disappeared from the Vatican scene; he was reportedly taken to a hospital for drug treatment, then to a monastery outside Rome for a spiritual retreat.
Contrary to multiple media reports, Msgr. Capozzi was not an official of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF). The confusion arose because his apartment was located in a building that shares a courtyard with the CDF. The apartment building, technically owned by the CDF, is used as a residence for top officials of the Roman Curia. It is not clear how Msgr. Capozzi had managed to land an apartment there; ordinarily his rank would not have qualified him for such a prestigious Vatican address. Apparently he had influential friends. There are reports that he was in line for appointment as a bishop.

There are reports that he was in line for appointment as a bishop.
Msgr. Capozzi had access to a car with Vatican license plates: again a sign that he had influential friends. Those license plates made him virtually exempt from searches by the Italian police, and could have facilitated the transportation of illegal drugs. The location of his residence—in a building with one door leading onto Vatican territory, the other onto the streets of Rome—was also ideal for someone avoiding police oversight.
However, Msgr. Capozzi evidently pushed too far. Other residents of the building (presumably including some of those top Vatican officials) complained about a steady train of young male visitors and of noisy parties at Msgr. Capozzi’s apartment. Those complaints prompted the police raid.
The unvarnished facts of the case are ugly enough; they need no sensational embellishment. There are clear indications that Msgr. Capozzi had powerful patrons and protectors: daunting new evidence that a “gαy lobby” retains considerable influence at the Vatican.
