Los Angeles Files Recount Decades of Priests' Abuse By John M. Broder 10/12/05 Los Angeles Oct. 11 "The confidential personnel files of 126 clergymen in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles accused of sexual misconduct with children provide a numbing chronicle of 75 years of the church's shame, revealing case after case in which the church was warned of abuse but failed to protect its parishioners. In some cases, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony and his predecessors quietly shuffled the priests off to counseling and then to new assignments. In others, parents were offered counseling for their children and were urged to remain silent." http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/12/national/12priests.html?hp&ex=1129089600&en=d3cd8944bc6cf12c&ei=5094&partner=homepage
fwd from Lynne Moss Sharman - Toronto Star (http:www.thestar.com) Roberto Calvi, Vatican banker 10/7/05 "Why was 'God's banker' killed? Was financier laundering money for Mafia, Vatican? After 25 years, trial of five seeks the answers - Bill Taylor "Even the Pope couldn't help "God's banker." Roberto Calvi, an Italian financier with ties both to the Vatican - hence his nickname - and the Mafia, in 1982 begged John Paul II to step in and save his bank from collapse, The Times of London reports. But money was the least of Calvi's problems. Two weeks later, on June 19, he was found hanging by an orange rope tied in a lover's knot from scaffolding under one of the nine arches of Blackfriars Bridge in central London. The 300-metre, 18th century stone structure spans the River Thames. It was one of the showier crimes of the 20th century, originally ruled a suicide but revealed two years ago to be homicide, with all the ingredients of a good whodunit - organized crime, financial scandal, money laundering for the Mafia and the Vatican, and chicanery in the most confidential corridors of religious power and the equally secret affairs of freemasonry. It also never has been explained how someone could suspend a corpse in such a prominent place without being noticed." "The prosecution will argue the accused lured Calvi to London to kill him after he held onto millions of dollars he was laundering for the Mafia and also stole from financier Licio Gelli, head of the illegal Masonic lodge, P2." "The defence, sticking to the original finding of suicide, is expected to embarrass the Roman Catholic church by calling former Vatican officials to testify. Among those anxious to see justice finally done are Calvi's widow Carla and son Carlo, a Montreal banker. They believe he was the victim of a well-disguised Cosa Nostra hit to cover up the Vatican Bank's involvement with the Mafia"
