Interesting story developing about a team of multiple police agencies descending on the offices of the Archdiocese of Houston-Galveston moments ago. Police are carrying in boxes, and a police "crime scene" truck is on hand. Police spokesman said they are looking for "secret archives" in connection with the criminal case of Manuel LaRosa-Lopez, accused of 4 counts of indecency with a child. The search and seizure operation could continue tomorrow as well.

Spokesman indicated that Montgomery County police had received tips from the Pennsylvania AG on what to search for in the chancery. (That video has since been taken down, however. Was just there a minute ago, I swear!)
The current Archbishop of Houston is Cardinal Daniel DiNardo who also serves as the head of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. He has said the Archdiocese is cooperating with the investigation:

Interesting that the Pennsylvania AG is telling Texas police what evidence to search for. Will try to find that video to substantiate what I just heard. It was at this site but has just been taken down as I was writing this: https://www.khou.com/article/news/watch-live-dato-hold-11-am-press-conference-outside-archdiocese-of-galveston-houston/285-618021117
The live press conference with Montgomery County DA Brett Ligon is no longer available; some excerpts available on Twitter:
1) "Concerning today's action at the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Montgomery County D.A. Brett Ligon says he'll go where the search takes him, "If it's at the Vatican, I'll be heading to Rome. It could be like the A&M game...seven overtimes."

2) Montgomery County D.A. Brett Ligon, "The patron saint of children is St. Nicholas...St. Nicholas is also known as Santa Claus. Well, Santa Claus is here to tell you, that the state of Texas will go to any length to protect children."

3) Breaking: About today's search at the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Montgomery County D.A. Brett Ligon says he's taken the burden off the church, "I'm gonna find it all out. I'm a Catholic myself."

Sounds like a good man. Godspeed, sir.

Giving this the "Important" flair, Gilderoy. Thanks for posting.
Looks like faithful Catholics in law enforcement are getting serious about cleaning up the Church, as I predicted. Very glad to see it.
Did you see this?

Thanks so much for the sticky. I've been poring through the bombshell information you linked to, and I'm speechless. Hadn't heard before of the plot discussed in China to poison Pope Benedict. Very strange, since my first thought upon seeing a photo of Pope Emeritus' gaunt, stricken figure about a month after he resigned was that he had been poisoned. He slowly began to look better, but he looked like a walking skeleton for a while.
Thanks for the Voris article on Satanic activity in the Vatican. I forgot that Michael Voris had made a video about it.
What we need is a Catholic Julian Assange or an anonymous leaker who can leak the dossier and other documents. Otherwise, who knows if it will ever come to light? Catholic cardinals seem absolutely terrified to speak more than in generalities.
The Texas AG Brett Ligon seems like a very good man. Will be following him on Twitter to see if there are any more developments.
