Edit: here's the story in an excerpted googletranslation from La Stampa, and the Tornielli, Bergoglian Vaticanista.
The woman after being held overnight in the Vatican was put released to freedom today because she cooperated. The Secretary of the Prefecture for Economic Affairs continues to be employed in the Oltrevere [a nickname for the Vatican]. Both are accused of having disclosed confidential documents of the Committee COSEA that are the basis of two new books on Vatican finances

VATICAN CITY
The Spanish Monsignor Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda , 54, Secretary of the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See, and the Italian Francesca Immaculate Chaouqui, 33, are in custody in the Vatican. Arrests have been confirmed but the woman today has been released into freedom because she has assisted in the investigation. The investigation by the Gendarmerie and the judiciary at Oltretevere would have identified as the alleged "crows" behind the new flight of documents that are the basis of two new books that have not yet been published: "Avarice" by Espresso columnist Emiliano Fittipaldi, and "Via Crucis" by Mediaset journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi.
Both Vallejo Balda and Chaouqui were part - the first as secretary and the second as a member - of the study committee and advised the economic-administrative organization of the Holy See (COSEA), established in July 2013 to screen papers and accounts of all the ministries, and to suggest reforms to rationalize expenditure and better management overall.
It was just Vallejo, number two of the Prefecture who will disappear with the reform of the Curia, to propose Chaouqui to be introduced to the commission. Interestingly, in the weeks before the papal appointment, she had often been unable to avoid controversy: recall the tweet in which she spoke of a nonexistent "leukemia" suffered by Pope Benedict , and other messages still more controversial against the then Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone and the former Minister Tremonti. Chaouqui defended herself by saying she was the victim of false charges because of envy aroused by her new role and had denounced the intrusion of strangers in her twitter account.
Edit: They even organized a reception on the terrace of the Praefecture for Economic Affairs, where the Blessed Sacrament was served in plastic cups.
They were particularly venomous when Sandro Magister lost his press credenntials.
God save us from Pope Francis!

DeleteGod save Pope Francis!
DeleteYes, may he be converted!
DeleteIs this the new vatican glasnost ? Why in the case of Benedict's vatileaks only Gabriele, no Opus Dei, no cardinals, none? Please, don't insult our intelligence......what a dreary show!
ReplyDeleteThe REAL criminal is Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Throw him in jail where he belongs.
ReplyDeleteBetter confiscate that Argentine driver's licence.
DeleteHe kept his Argentinian passport, remember?!!
DeleteI take that back -- he should be in an institution for the unbalanced along with the rest of his cronies.

ReplyDeleteI have been dealing with sedes and almost sedes since at least 2004 and am sick of the pride of the laity who think they have a special cell phone connection with the Holy Spirit. People in my immediate circle of friends left the main Church for fringe groups, and some of these people, although highly intelligent, are just too emotional about situations and lack the perspective of history you point out.
It seems to be the case, at least in my world, that those people who never had either Western Civ History or Church History as students either in high school or college, and are getting their info from rabid newspapers or online commentators, are most vulnerable to deceit.
To me, safety is in and with Rome. Yes, we may like this or that pope better, but following the true teaching is not that difficult. Too many rabid trads think and act like Protestants, wanting a church in their own image and likeness.
The microscopic media attention is useless for discernment and your advice for not following every hiccup or step of the Pope is great advice. Too many Catholics have fallen into the cult of leadership syndrome and when their appointed leader disappoints their cultic feelings and desires, they become hysterical."

DeleteHere above we have another incarnation of the heretic "Gabriel"---one wonders if he is possessed and various demons speak through him or has the psychiatric disorder of multiple personalities. His purpose on this blog is the same as Francis's: insult the faithful Catholics by hurling names of ancient heresies hoping to impress with pseudo-learning, create doubt and confusion, and avoid facing the reality of their own spiritual devastation. The work of the Evil One indeed. The Anon. 9:13 AM blog is without a doubt one of the most insightful, accurate evaluations on the rape of Holy Mother Church by the Modernists who do not ultimately belong to Her but deface her purity of worship, doctrine and morality as if these were their private property to do what they will. Yes, the great and prophetic Newman foresaw it clearly in the 19th century: the dangers of the infallibilitiy definition should an enemy of the traditional Faith reach the throne of Blessed Peter. We have arrived at that dark moment, but the triumph is Christ's and ours if we are steadfast in the Faith and the sacred Tradition that sustains it. Gabriel/Carl: you and Francis have already been defeated, current appearances notwithstanding. RC
