BERLIN — The Vatican on Monday said it had arrested two members of a papal reform commission on suspicion of leaking classified information, opening a week of intrigue as the Holy See braces for two potentially damaging books purporting to reveal inside corruption.

The stunning detentions of two Pope Francis advisers also could become personal blows to the pontiff and further expose the internal Vatican rifts between Francis’s ideological allies and factions opposing his effort put his reformist stamp on the church.

Would Jesus’s church have classified information?

[PATRIOT1876]

Probably tens of thousands of documents showing that Global Warming is a scam.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Probably is financial. Everything in that part of the world has ties to the Mafia. The Vatican Bank has a LOOOOONG and unsavory history of underwriting their misadventures.

Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.

Thanks for that more readable version.

I did think of that "Messianic Secret" thing.

[Beowulf9]

I worry for this Pope.

[Romulus]

Matthew 13:11
“To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.”

[sparklite2]

That’s not really a church secret, but I get your point.
