It was the Cardinal Bell story that got be going down this path. Just look at the image in this article: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-29/george-pells-charging-and-what-it-means-for-the-church-kennedy/8663554

And for any newbies, here's an article on the FBI report that verifies that pedophiles use spirals as code: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3560069/The-symbols-pedophiles-use-signal-sordid-sexual-preferences-social-media.html

Okay, so I went looking for other examples of Bishops with spiral coziers:

Bishop James Vann Johnston, Jr., the seventh bishop of the Diocese of Kansas City http://imgur.com/a/pCEyX

Here's a blog about his involvement in interfering with child abuse investigations: http://www.freewebs.com/cometothestable/apps/blog/ (Archive: http://archive.is/wFXbl))

But as the nuns began to address the abuse crisis Kurtz and Vann Johnston launched a campaign of calumny and slander to discredit the sisters and close the monastery. In 2004, Kurtz and Vann Johnson intervened in a grant-making process to scuttle funding that would have allowed the sisters to expand their community outreach.

Cardinal Justin Rigali : http://imgur.com/a/odgXy

He's at no 5 in this article: Scandal Spectacle: The 10 Most Corrupt and Compromised Cardinals Voting For the New Pope

5. Cardinal Justin Rigali, former Archbishop of Philadelphia. The level of abuse experienced by children in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia under Rigali’s predecessor, the late Anthony Bevilacqua, is epic. As described by the National Catholic Reporter’s Tom Roberts: “Bevilacqua oversaw priests who were involved in nothing short of sexual torture of youngsters.”

As Robert Huber of Philadelphia magazine recounted: “Instead of being reported to the DA’s office, pedophile priests were moved -- sometimes repeatedly, from parish to parish to parish. Abusive priests kept right on abusing children.”

Rigali’s claim to fame is that he did nothing to stop it.

Cardinal Burke: http://imgur.com/a/yRDQo

Vatican- Cardinal Burke to be ousted by Pope? Abuse victims respond

In what a noted Vatican journalist calls a “decapitation,” and “a move without precedent,” Cardinal Raymond Burke – who had a very sorry tenure running the St. Louis archdiocese (2003-2008), “is on the verge of being demoted” from head of the church's highest court to a “purely honorary role” and an “ecclesiastically very modest title” at “the behest of Pope Francis.”

While in St. Louis, Burke was often reckless, deceptive and callous regarding predator priests, vulnerable kids and wounded victims. He expanded the troubling practice of importing sexually troubled priests from across the US, letting some of them work in local parishes and letting others stay in church facilities that are secretive and careless about public safety.

The spiral cozier seems to have quite a history and I think can be traced right back to the sickle of Osiris or the sickle of Saturn. http://www.markbeast.org/mark-beast-paganism.html

Serpent crosiers were commonly carried by bishops and high Catholic Church officials in the Middle Ages. They claim that the crosier represents the shepherd’s crook, but it can be traced to the divining staff or augur of Pontifex Maximus of ancient Rome who inherited it from the priests of Babylon. It is unrealistic to assume that shepherds of nomadic existence would use wooden rods with handles like the one shown or anything like it. Common sense would have them use something straight and not entangle themselves with when having to fight off wild animals. Thinking about plays representing the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, it is absolutely disgusting to see shepherds hold staffs other than straight wooden rods.

There seems to be quite an interesting history to this but that's a whole other post, so for now I'll leave you with this image of Saturn http://imgur.com/a/1e5Ww
