I think Bugnini did have ties to Masonry. However,the story is that the event that sealed his fate in the Church involved he and Weakland. Bugnini was exiled at the same time Weakland was sent packing to remain forever in Milwaukee as an archbishop because the two of them were caought en flagrante,in a very embarrassing tryst by the Italian police.

I read this in two books written originally in Italy and then one,possibly sourced by the same books I read,written in English.

Edited for the WHOLE truth.

Here's another real secret: Weakland was the "celebrant" at the trial run in PaulVI's chapel.

Bugnini was exiled at the same time Weakland was sent packing to remain forever in Milwaukee as an archbishop because the two of them were caought en flagrante,in a very embarrassing tryst by the Italian police.

Wow! I've never heard those things.

One of my pet theories is that Weakland got set up by the Vatican to take his big fall because of his refusal to stop the de-construction when they told him to.

I know, I know, it was the gay lover who dropped the bomb - but I'm convinced it was the Vatican that set it all in motion. That's the kind of subtle "get even" tacttcs they are famous for. Don't think for a minute they didn't know the whole story, including the misappropriation of funds.
