Italian “Newspaper” Alleges Curial Blackmail

Edit: it’s always a mark of suspicion when a news story becomes universally acclaimed and repeated to the point where its assertions, misapprehensions, inaccuracies or malice become common currency.

Remember when the Eponymous Flower Blog posted the story from Father Dariuscz Oko back at the end of October? The courageous Polish priest is studying the homosexual subculture within the Church in connection with a Vatican investigation. This priest said then that the Holy Father has been persistently working to combat evil within the Church. Still, who can say what his abdication means to this battle. Obviously, there are those who will attempt to portray this as a failure of the Church to act responsibly and will attempt to shame the Holy Father’s efforts. Who will win indeed, the wolves or the shepherds?

Presently the suggestion is that Pope Benedict XVI has resigned not for the reasons he’s stated, but for more pecuniary, and even possibly reasons of a more scandalous nature.

The following is an interesting blog entry from a Doctor Robert Mouynihan who is the founder of Vatican Inside Magazine,  on the Catholic lane blog, with the very encouraging title, “Italian Press Alleges Curia Blackmail".

The story involves the revelation of a study which was ordered by the Holy Father to determine the source of a problem within the Church’s hierarchy and Its employees. Three trusted senior Cardinals were chosen and they very methodically interviewed, compiled charts and information to provide a presentation of the raw material they’d collected. Unfortunately, the information was leaked to other agencies, clearly not trustworthy or ideologically reliable, like the anti-Catholic, and Socialist, La Repubblica.  It has an agenda, shockingly or not, like the New York Times in the US.

The origin of this story and the way it’s being spun is the problem. Doctor Moynihan is going to explore the story by talking to those who’ve originated it, namely it’s principle originator, Ignazio Ingrao, who is known as a Vaticanista, operating the blog “Urbi et Orbi”. It should be clear that no one can deny the pedigree of the Italian paper that is disseminating this spin, but what of those who’ve accepted its interpretation uncritically, and worse, come to more uncharitable conclusions than the originator of this story. Indeed, the publication which hosts Mr. Ingrao’s blog, Panorama.it, is part of the Burlesconi publishing empire. Surely this is an unbiased source, considering the long standing hostility of Mr. Berlusconi for the teachings of the Church, if not the Church Herself.

Doctor Moynhian shouldn’t have to go far to see what’s behind this portrayal.

Here’s an excerpt:

While we were speaking, Italian journalist Iacopo Scaramuzzi, another excellent Vaticanist, came up. He waited respectfully a few steps away, and came up when I nodded to him and stepped away toward the kiosk. I bought the two copies of La Repubblica. When I returned, Scaramuzzi was asking Saraiva Martins questions about the Pope’s resignation, about the Pope’s mood during these days of Spiritual Exercises, and about the qualities of spirit and character that the next Pope will need.

As the two spoke, a reporter and cameraman from Associated Press walked up. “May we?” they asked, with the camera already rolling. For a while they filmed the conversation, and then the AP journalist broke in, asking if Saraiva Martins had read the news that had broken that morning in La Repubblica, about the alleged blackmail of Vatican officials. Saraiva Martins glanced at me, holding the two copies of the paper, then said, “No, I cannot make any comment on that. I haven’t yet read the article.”

A moment later, the interview was over, and Saraiva Martins and I began to walk away toward his residence nearby. I waited until we were under the colonnade opposite the press office, in front of the Ancora bookstore, then handed him the second copy of La Repubblica. He thanked me and he said we could speak again after the end of the Spiritual Exercises on Saturday.

Indeed, some might remember that Vatileaks butler Paolo Gabriele has some possible connections in a Monastery closed by the Holy Father as reported by Orbis Catholicus.

Polish Priest: Pope Benedict Wages a Tireless War Against This Evil

The Fog is Lifting

How is it that people in ecclesiastical positions of leadership succeed, who are deeply corrupt, false and blackmailable? 

(kreuz.net)  There is a true homosexual lobby in the Catholic Church.  Fr. Dariusz Oko described this in the German periodical 'Theologisches'.

Fr. Oko is a research fellow of the Philosophy faculty of the Papal University of John Paul II in Cracow.

It will be unscrupulously lied about

In order for an evil as grave as the homosexual disorder to hide and be tolerated, there needs to be people in important positions -- wrote the priest.

He didn't speak of a homosexual lobby, but of a "homosexual mafia".  Fr. Oko cited then cited the current Polish Justice Ministery Jaroslav Gowin.

As a member of the Polish Senate he was confronted with the case of the Posener Homo-Archbishop Juliusz Paetz.

He felt then after some investigations the presence of a "type of Mafia".

These have denied brutal circumstances and fundamentals in the defense of their interests -- even the most public.

The Priestly Seminary as Seduction

Fr. Oko suggested that the problems for a homosexually distorted individual who wants to be a priest, already begin in the Seminary.

There the homosexual seminarist finds himself in the situation, which corresponds to that of a normal man, who will find himself living in close contact with appealing women.

It is "clearly very difficult" to protect chastity.

The Homosexual Power Grab

Fr. Oko knows that the colleagues of the inner-Church homosexual mafia who are aware of the danger,  camouflage themselves.

For that they will mutually support one another.

They form informal groups and attempt, above all to rule the place, where money and power are at home.

When they have taken over positions of responsibility, promote then persons, who are similar to themselves, or such, of those they know, that because of their weak characters will never make difficulties.

In these manners it happens that there are characters who attain ecclesiastical leadership positions, who are deeply corrupt, false and blackmailable.

The Perpetrators are Made Into Victims

Those who oppose the homosexual mafia, may -- says Fr. Oko -- will get into a difficult situation.

He mentioned the case of a Vicar who attempted to protect youth from molestation by a homosexual pastor.

In such a situation it was the accuser who was severely punished -- not the perpetrator.

And:  When a priest or a religious is molested by a superior or homosexual and seeks help at the next highest level, it can happen that he will meet a homosexual in a higher position.

Homosexuals Attack

Fr. Oko believes that Benedict XVI is leading a tireless struggle against this evil.

The Pope insists that a priest must be religiously normal,  for otherwise the renunciation of marriage and the choice of celibacy would not have any sense.

On the contrary:  "The doctrine of the Pope has met resistance:  homosexual groups int he Church defend themselves and attack."

This crisis also needs intellectual means, in order to be corrected.   Hence it consists of a homosexual heresy.
