The computer belonging to an accountant appointed by the Vatican to clean up the Catholic church's books has been hacked, Italian media reported Saturday. Libero Milone, whom Pope Francis named the Vatican's first auditor general in June, has alerted the police to an alleged cyberattack, Turin daily La Stampa said. Vatican police opened an investigation into the matter and suspicions have been raised that it might be an inside job, according to the newspaper.

Jesus Christ was an inside job.

So why not hacking being inside, too..

Vatican backs using force against IS

Something seems very significant for the world with this turn of events..

Vatican backs using force against IS

It's all alien to us

The Vatican has been publicly commenting about baptizing aliens for years now—the Pope even did it recently in a ‘joking’ comment.. The man behind the original comment, Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno addressed Georgetown University in a commencement address where he specifically talked about his famed alien comments. He admitted aliens are not within our grasp—yet. SETI agrees, as I wrote last night.. they think it will be about 20 years before we realize aliens are among us.. or out there somewhere. Getting closer..

HOLY CHRIST! Here’s a game changer..

A papyrus referring to Jesus’ wife is likely ancient—more like ancient than it being a fake..  The son of man a mover and shaker? This tiny piece of ancient Scripture contained “My wife she will be able to be my disciple.” Stop the presses … stop the presses. Word to the Vatican: You can’t hide it all!

Can someone please explain to me, what is the creepy art that is on wall of the Vatican in the picture? Is that a saint urinating on the right hand side? 

I really get creeped out by art on the walls of the influential and powerful…

I can only imagine some of the other creepy paintings in the Vatican

Christian Aliens among us

I get a feeling that if alien life is going to be announced, it will be coming from religious leaders before the government. That way it would sink in better with people if they heard it from God-like men as opposed to devil-like whores..

And in that regard: The Vatican Observatory is co-hosting a conference in Arizona this week on the search for life beyond the solar system.. I always think back to the priest who said he’d love to baptize an alien.. Maybe the Vatican knows disclosure will lead to a surge in numbers. But what will the aliens donate in the weekly collection basket?

WELCOME TO THE POPA CABANA!

Pope Francis’ trip to Rio De Janeiro was historic.. and even more so now that his final mass on Copacabana beach that drew a reported 3 million people..

Catholicism is obviously alive and well in Latin America—hence the genius of the Conclave even picking a Pope from Latin America to begin with (though we all know he’s actually Peter the Roman since his mother and father were both Italians who moved away.. but why bring that up now?)

Here is how the AP reported this moment in time:

Many of the crowd had spent the night on the beach, an all-night slumber party to end World Youth Day that had a festive Latin air, with pilgrims wrapped in flags and sleeping bags to ward off the cold. They danced, prayed and sang - and stood in long lines in front of the armadas of portable bathrooms along the beachfront.


“We were dying of cold but it was worth it,” said Lucrecia Grillera, an 18-year-old from Cordoba, Argentina, where Francis lived for a time before becoming pope. “It was a tiring day, but it was a great experience.”


The Vatican said more than 3 million people were on hand for the Mass, based on information from World Youth Day organizers and local authorities.

And back to Rome he goes.. But with him a renewed flock back home..

And he’ll carry his own bags back to the Vatican, as well..

The AFP reports..

Pope Francis on Thursday bolstered criminal legislation against child abuse in the Vatican in an overhaul of laws that apply to the clergymen and lay people who work in the tiny city state.
The Vatican said in a statement that the pope’s decree included “a broader definition of the category of crimes against minors” including child prostitution, sexual acts with children and child pornography.

This is great news! Amen.
The AFP reports..

This pope don’t wear Prada! And he don’t show up for stupid concerts either.

Francis.
Out.

This is one cool rockin’ Pope.

Francis will not be conducting a mass at the typical place others have. According to the TELEGRAPH, he’s heading to a prison instead. 

Nick Squires from the TELEGRAPH reports,

Francis, who has broken the mould with his informal approach and unscheduled walkabouts, will conduct next week’s Holy Thursday service in a prison for young offenders on the outskirts of Rome.

The service is normally held either in St Peter’s Basilica or in the Church of St John in Lateran, which is the Pope’s church in his capacity as Bishop of Rome.

This guy gets cooler and cooler all the time.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world, Bergoglio

Strange times at the Vatican: An activist says that the new Pope supported civil unions as a Cardinal

Next we will find out he wants priests to marry!

Then again, he was in love as a kid..

Hmmm…

Strange times at the Vatican: An activist says that the new Pope supported civil unions as a Cardinal

The Pope of surprises.. now he’s making speeches off the cuff, scaring people by showing up in different places around the Vatican, and kissing babies..

As NBC news reported this morning:

Earlier, he began his first Sunday as pontiff by making an impromptu appearance to the public from a side gate of the Vatican, startling passersby and prompting cheers, then kept up his simple, spontaneous style by delivering a brief, off-the-cuff homily at the Vatican’s tiny parish church.

What’s next Francis?! Hand gliding into St. Peter’s Square? Opening the Vatican vault? GETTING RID OF PEDOPHILE priests? This Pope is so zany he may just do it..

Birds of a feather Assisi together.

While the world was waiting for the new Pope to be revealed, before the white smoke was even rising, birds were resting on the chimney at St. Peter’s Square..
Perhaps only odd because of the Pope’s name. St. Francis of Assisi had a love for animals…his is often painted with birds circling him. And then Cardinal Bergoglio chosen St. Francis as his name, after Francesco di Pietro di Bernardone….

Interesting stuff. I’m sure purely coincidental.  right?

Interesting comparison..

St. Peter’s Square in 2005 and then 2013.. What a difference only a few years makes.

It actually makes 2005 look like it was in the stone age.. pre-iPhone. If you can remember that far back..

The Pope leaves the Vatican.

NIXON STYLE.

The Vatican is denying rumors of gay clergy, money scandals and sex.

….Because we have come to believe everything that the Vatican tells us regarding scandal clergy, money, and sex.

The Vatican is denying rumors of gay clergy, money scandals and sex.

Even though the Pope’s butler languishes in a deep cell in the Vatican, more secret documents were leaked this weekend..

So why exactly is Gabriele in that cell anyway?

And how long before ‘Peter the Roman’ fulfills St Malachi’s prophecy of the popes. Mutiny along the cardinals! And a church collapsing from within?
