The courageous John-Henry Weston of LifeSiteNews has obtained leaked internal docs from the Papal Foundation which show that Pope Francis personally requested and secretly funneled a $25 million grant to the corruption-ridden Istituto Dermopatico dell'Immacolata hospital in Rome which is on the verge of bankruptcy.
LifeSiteNews has obtained internal documents of the U.S.-based Papal Foundation, a charity with a stellar history of assisting the world’s poor, showing that last summer the Pope personally requested, and obtained in part, a $25 million grant to a corruption-plagued, Church-owned dermatological hospital in Rome accused of money laundering. Records from the financial police indicate the hospital has liabilities over one billion USD – an amount larger than the national debt of some 20 nations.
The Papal Foundation's HQ are in Philadelphia, and the Board is composed of a number of high-ranking US cardinals:
Donald Cardinal Wuerl, Chairman
Archbishop of Washington, DC
Daniel Cardinal DiNardo
Archbishop of Galveston-Houston
Timothy Cardinal Dolan
Archbishop of New York
Roger Cardinal Mahony
Archbishop Emeritus of Los Angeles
Adam Cardinal Maida
Archbishop Emeritus of Detroit
Theodore Cardinal McCarrick
Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, DC
Seán Patrick Cardinal O'Malley
Archbishop of Boston
Justin Cardinal Rigali
Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia
The foundation provides grants for seemingly benevolent purposes: rebuilding convents, rectories and seminaries. From the Life Site News article:
The wealthy American Catholic families funded the building of churches, monasteries, schools and seminaries in impoverished nations. AIDS hospices, facilities for care of youth with physical and mental disabilities, and the like have also benefited from their generosity.
Donors to the Papal Foundation are called "Stewards of St. Peter", and a list of donors may be found on p. 12 of this pdf: https://www.thepapalfoundation.org/files/4814/5671/1265/PAPAL_AR_15.Offset-Fin.pdf
POSSIBLE CONNECTION TO PIZZAGATE
Some of the charitable activities of the Papal Foundation may raise red flags with veteran pizzagaters: grants for AIDS hospices, orphanages, children's hospitals and schools, in particular, and this is certainly an avenue for more research. However, if some will remember, the tragic and heartbreaking account given by an SRA survivor on Voat a few months ago, she related this key information:
My main perpetrator, Msgr. Thomas J Benestad worked for Cardinal Krol and JP II for the Papal Foundation
http://articles.mcall.com/1988-05-06/news/2631739_1_pastoral-care-cardinal-john-krol-papal-foundation
This was Krol's funeral mass, it was televised and the good Msgr helped to cover the body, like family members do. I wish that video was still online... https://www.google.com/search?q=Cardinal+Krol&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjI6LCRmKnZAhXjYt8KHfCGBZYQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=662#imgrc=MO
A 1992 article confirms this information:
The Rev. Thomas J. Benestad, director of the Papal Foundation, Philadelphia, was recently named an honorary prelate of his holiness with the title of monsignor. A charter member of the Diocesan Finance Committee, Benestad was released by Bishop Thomas J. Welsh and appointed to the Papal Foundation by Cardinal John Krol in 1988.
MORE INVESTIGATION NEEDED
There are hints from Q that the Pope is involved in sick and evil enterprises. There seems to be a connection between the Vatican and the Red Cross and NK. Q also refers to the Pope's approval of the change to the Our Father. "P" seems to refer to the Pope:
On Dec 21, Q said:
Soros takes orders from P.
You have no idea how sick and evil these people are.
Fight, fight, fight.
On Feb. 10, Q said:
Save the best for last.
[P]
Q
We can certainly begin investigating the troubled hospital in Rome that the Pope was attempting to shore up with funds from the Papal Foundation. The operations of the Papal Foundation in third world countries are also worthy of scrutiny, and, finally, the connection between the SRA survivor and the former director of the Papal Foundation, Msgr. Thomas Benestad, demands further attention.

I was not able to read all the replies, and forgive me if this is not helpful, but I do know that when Benestad head the Papal Foundation, the first place he hit for money, was "BOB HOPE"... After Benestad was no longer involved with the Papal Foundation, he had a one year's leave.. we all know what that means.
I have Benestad's time line if anyone is interested in it

New York State's highest court yesterday reversed the convictions of three former officers of the defunct American Bank and Trust Company who had been accused of misappropriating bank funds to aid an Argentine financier, David Graiver. Would be interesting to know if jorge bergoglio had anything to do with this. Argentina. He was accused of being responsible for the death of two priests and allowing many babies to be shipped out of Argentina. I would not be surprised if Benestad had connections, being his son was a priest.
