Pope’s Own Role in Vatican London Deal Comes Before Court

ROME — Defense lawyers in the Vatican’s fraud and extortion trial accused prosecutors on Wednesday of defying a court order by withholding pieces of evidence — including an alleged interrogation of Pope Francis — as the pontiff’s own role in a flawed London property investment again came before the court.

The Vatican city state tribunal president, Giuseppe Pignatone, said he would rule Dec. 1 on a new defense request to throw out the indictment. Pignatone has already nullified several charges against some of the defendants because of prosecutorial errors.

“It’s clear we need more time before starting. If we manage to start,” Pignatone told the court.

The trial concerns the Secretariat of State’s 350 million euro investment in a luxury London property development, much of it funded with donations from the faithful. Vatican prosecutors have accused Italian brokers and Vatican officials of defrauding the Holy See in the deal, and of extorting the Vatican of 15 million euros to actually acquire control of the property. Prosecutors have indicted 10 people, including a cardinal, on a range of charges.

Bergoglio continues to be the Teflon Don (cf. McCarrick, China etc. ad infinitum). I can’t imagine this London scandal or any scandal affecting him. The media runs interference for him because they recognize (accurately) that he’s on their side and is doing a bang-up job at destroying the Church.

Corrupt, like John the Baptist said, straighten the path, earth is lost and does not realize that the Eden model is the one if life and peace..
