Papal Foundation scandal rocks Catholic Church---tip of the iceberg? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Gilderoy

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.

went off a different way looking up P

I found a newly formed group called The Santa Marta Group founded by Pope Francis in 2014

The Santa Marta Group is an alliance of international police chiefs and bishops from around the world working together with civil society in a process endorsed by Pope Francis, to eradicate human trafficking and modern day slavery

what I found interesting was the partners of this group

The Santa Marta Group is a growing global partnership that has members in over 30 countries. It includes: The Vatican

UK Home Office

London Metropolitan Police

UK Cabinet-level Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner

Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England & Wales

Diocese of Westminster

Interpol

Europol

FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation (USA)

National Crime Agency (UK)

US Department of Homeland Security

The Congregation of Adorers

I'm still looking it up, but what better way to redirect investigations away from the big guys

Still working on Papal Foundation, but not finding anything that hasn't been posted, but will keep it on the front burner

Wow. This is highly intriguing. Thanks. Multiply this with the fact that Pope Francis is the world's foremost advocate of migrants and open borders, and it certainly makes such an association more than a little suspect regardless of its stated intentions----or maybe the group's **stated intentions **are what makes people like us most suspicious?

Founded in 2014 in the UK, Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster heads the group

but yet I just found this

Archbishop Nichols Is A Shame For The Church https://mundabor.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/archbishop-nichols-is-a-shame-for-the-church/

This group has my attention a lot of angles to look up

think I will leave the Papal Foundation for others and see what I can find on this group

Didn't mean to take a right turn from your post, but think this might be something to look into

Gilderoy ago

Absolutely look into it. I'm looking to. Cardinal Nichols is a huge leftist and open borders proponent like Pope Francis. How can you seriously say you want to combat human trafficking if you want no controls on migration and actively work to facilitate hordes of undocumented people swarming across the globe?

Shizy ago

It doesn't make any sense because it's done by design! They aren't simply silly lefties who have bleeding hearts, these are evil people who are very calculated and know exactly what they are doing. I saw a comment indicating you are catholic. I was raised Catholic so I do not mean to disrespect you, but the Catholic Church is very corrupt and downright evil at the top. Lots of good Catholic people, including most of my family members, but it is a deeply corrupted and false religion that has fooled a lot of people

Gilderoy ago

Yes, I am a Catholic, and I appreciate your concern, but I learned long ago that the Church has many evil/corrupt/apathetic/weak/unkind/dishonest members, but that the Church's mission is divinely instituted and the Holy Spirit is guiding its progress. I'm in for the long haul and believe it is my obligation to do all the good I can in my corner of the Church with the people in my parish. I believe with all my heart the Church will be purged and renewed someday soon, and we will be blessed with saintly leaders again. Church has been through before.

Undocumented people , no papers, no one looking, easy to make disappear

There are four main elements to the Bakhita Initiative:

Bakhita Foundation

Bakhita Institute into Human Slavery

Caritas Bakhita House

Santa Marta Group

gonna try to grab whatever info I can find and then sort through it

this seems to be a relatively new organization

Gilderoy ago

Santa Marta Group was started in 2014 at Pope Francis' residence. Don't know if you saw what I wrote about the M_Rsection (Migrants and Refugees) organization also started by Pope Francis and under his personal supervision. So he has a special human trafficking task force (extrajudicial?) and a pro-open borders activist group under his own guidance, working at cross-purposes. Even Fr. Michael Czerny, the head of the M_Rsection office noted the difficulty of preventing trafficking among migrants:

“Traffickers can easily take advantage of the desperation of migrants and asylum seekers. Ending up in an irregular or undocumented status, they are at a very high risk of abuse and exploitation, including trafficking and enslavement. Therefore, the Holy See stresses the importance of ensuring adequate legal frameworks and reliable pathways to prevent migrants from becoming victims of human trafficking.”

You should read what else he says. He proposes this as a solution:

"We ought to recognize that we are facing a global phenomenon that exceeds the competence of any one community or country. In order to eliminate it, we need a mobilization comparable in size to that of the phenomenon itself.”

“The Holy See looks forward to participating in the high-level meeting to review the progress made on the implementation of the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons, September 27-28, 2017 in New York,” Fr Czerny concluded.

Fr. Czerny

In 2002, he moved to Africa as founder and director of the African Jesuit AIDS Network (AJAN), a support network for African Jesuits working to respond to the H.I.V./AIDS pandemic.

United Nations launches global plan of action against human trafficking

https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/frontpage/2010/September/un-launches-global-plan-of-action-against-human-trafficking.html

Gilderoy ago

So the UN already had a "global plan of action" since 2010, so why is Fr. Czerny in 2017 asking for it when it's already allegedly in effect?

Something weird going on

That makes no sense

Gilderoy ago

I've been looking at the Santa Marta Group's Twitter feed and suddenly remembered another Vatican-sponsored group, M_Rsection, Migrants and Refugees, run by a Jesuit priest.

The Migrants & Refugees Section is a small action-oriented Vatican office personally directed by Pope Francis. He is convinced that special attention and efforts are needed to ensure that those forced to flee are not shut out or left behind. The M&R Section helps the Church worldwide to support those who are forcibly displaced by conflict, natural disaster, persecution or extreme poverty; those who are making their difficult way to safety or are stuck; and those who fall victim to human trafficking.

So, you have Santa Marta Group, the anti-trafficking organization on one hand, and Migrants & Refugees on the other, both personally supported by Pope Francis.

Some have pointed that "M_Rs" = MARS. It is run by Jesuits who love Mars research; the Pope is famous for having said early in his pontificate that he would be happy to baptize a Martian.

Christians cannot "close the door" to all those who seek baptism even if they are "green men, with a long nose and big ears, like children draw," the pope said at his daily mass on Monday, according to Vatican Radio.

There is a lot more to the Pope/Jesuit/Argentina/Mars/RedCross/NK thing, but I think everyone would think I was loony tunes if I said anything more.

Funny thing that both the Santa Marta Group and the M_Rsection group were specially initiated and personally endorsed by Pope Francis, his special pet projects:

Santa Marta Group began in the presence of the Pope at his residence:

Following initiatives by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference for England and Wales (CBCEW), the Santa Marta Group was developed by the CBCEW and first met in Rome during April 2014 when police chiefs and Catholic bishops came together, in the presence of Pope Francis, to sign an historic declaration, committing themselves to a partnership to eliminate human trafficking.

The M_Rsection (Migrants and Refugees Section) was created by Pope Francis and put directly under his guidance:

Discussion about creation of such an office had been ongoing for months. The pope's Council of Cardinals, a group of nine prelates advising the pontiff on reforming the Vatican bureaucracy, formally recommended its creation during their meeting in June.The Vatican press office said in a statement that a department inside the new office will be dedicated specifically to aiding migrants, which "expresses in a special way the pope's concern for migrants and refugees." That section will be put "directly under guidance" of the pope ad tempus, or for the moment, it said.
