<< the devil cant be everywhere at once, he lives in the Vatican >>

Summary: The Vatican's chief exorcist says that "the devil lives in the vatican and you can see the consequencies": cardinals who dont believe in Jesus, bishops linked with the devil, cardinals are members of satanic sects.

Pope's Exorcist Says the Devil Is In the Vatican
[...]

His face serious, the many lines on his face clear, Amorth confesses, "The devil resides in the Vatican."
While admitting that it is hard to prove, he says the consequences of the devil's work are evident: Cardinals who don't believe in Jesus, bishops who are linked with the devil. As early 1972 Pope Paul VI talked about the "smoke of Satan" that hovered in the Vatican, but it is more recent events like the pedophilia scandal the church is confronted with and the grisly murder by a Swiss guard of his commander and wife that Amorth uses as evidence of the devil's presence.

The fact that the devil has penetrated the halls of the Vatican should make the most reverent of Catholics shudder. Not so according to Amorth and his colleagues. Their work is to protect you.

Catholic sex abuse scandals are 'evidence the Devil is in the Vatican', says Pope's chief exorcist

Child sex abuse scandals rocking the Catholic Church are evidence of the Devil's presence in the Vatican, the Pope's chief exorcist said yesterday.
[...]
The Catholic church has been rocked in recent months by a series of sex scandals in Ireland, Holland and most recently Germany, where even the Pope's brother Georg Ratzinger admitted hitting choir boys.
[...]
'The Devil lives in the Vatican. He has won over the confidences of people but naturally its difficult to find proof but the consequences are visible.
'We have cardinals who don't believe in Christ, bishops connected with demons. Then we have these stories of pedophilia. You can see the rot when we speak of Satan's smoke in the holy rooms (of the Vatican).'
[...]
Father Amorth also said that the attempt on the life of the late Pope John Paul II in May 1981 and the recent attack on Pope Benedict XVI during Christmas Eve Mass last year were all work of the Devil.
So too, he added, was a Vatican 'cover-up' after the deaths of the commander of the Swiss Guard Alois Estermann, his wife and fellow Swiss guard Corporal Cedric Tornay. All three were shot dead.
'They covered up everything immediately,' Father Amorth said. 'Here one sees the rot.'
The official Vatican line was that Corporal Tornay shot the commander and his wife before killing himself. However, this verdict has been disputed by Tornay's family.
Father José Antonio Fortea Cucurull, a fellow exorcist, immediately accused Father Amorth of having gone too far.
'Cardinals might be better or worse, but all have upright intentions and seek the glory of God,' he said.
'... to affirm that some cardinals are members of satanic sects is an unacceptable distance.'

Leaving aside the fact that the devil does not exist, what exactly is he trying to say?
Is he claiming that the Church has become corrupted?

Probably more likely the Mail has made a mess of this story but I do wonder what he's trying to get at.

Good post.

Is Palpatine hiding Vader there to ?

This is a creepy visionary aspect of the Vatican and the Satanistic approach it seems to have

There is always the confessional.
If we did not have evil, could we have good? If we did, how would we know it from evil? Answer:- It could not have a Pope as there would be no evil!
There may be a God, I do not know for sure the same as EVERYONE else. There is no concrete proof of one existing.
But one only has to look to Rome to see unmitigated evil, posturing as Gods representatives on earth. I do not remember any news story saying God has chosen the Catholic Church to represent him on earth or sanctioning child abuse and all the other vilness this Church seems to engender in its clergy. How long are we as humane beings going to allow this corrupt and rotting establishment to continue, enough is enough!
