Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo
While the above article is in general about the Vatican intelligence services in the last 500 years, it ends with an important note about the events in 1998, in which 3 persons were found shot to death at the Vatican. This is the case in which the newly appointed Captain of the Swiss Guard, Colonel Alois Estermann, his Venezuelan wife, Gladys Meza Romero, and another Swiss Guard, Cedric Tornay, were found dead at the Vatican on May 4, 1998 A. D..
The details of the 1998 scandal were revealed in 2022 in the book, “Blood in the Vatican”, which is available in Italian through Amazon:
We Catholics have long been brainwashed by criminal clergy to think that such things could never happen. And that is why we react with anger and attack those who reveal such scandals, as has happened with Christine Niles when she uncovered and reported on several horrendous cases of serial pedophilia in groups dedicated to the Traditional Latin Mass, or with myself when I myself connected the dots about the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi and the Renunciation of Pope Benedict, in Italian, on YouTube, last week (see here).
But sane, stable Catholics realize that criminality and coverup can happen in every earthly institution, and the more that we are aware of such cases in our own Church’s institutions, the more we can be prepared psychologically and attentively to respond now and in the future to prevent them. — That 3 murders were covered up in 1998 is a strong forensic fact to begin doubting the “good intentions” of those Vatican officials who covered up and obstructed since 1983, the investigation into the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi: whether they be 3 Popes or numerous underlings who diabolically perverted their loyalty to Christ by doing evil in the service and at the request of any Pope, Cardinal, Archbishop or Bishop, priest or deacon.
The boldness of such bad clergy I know personally, having had a superior who once gave a group of friars a class on the obligations of obedience, and without any shame insisted, that if our superior seemed to be planning and executing a bank robbery, we must nevertheless obey him unless he openly admits to doing this, a thing which we have no right to ask him and he has no obligation to admit! This priest years later renounced the Catholic Faith, joined a protestant sect, and now marries any two men who want to be “married”.
You can read, in English, more about the book by Sgrò, who was given unprecedented access to the original files in the 1998 case, here:
Just one month and 1 day after the publication of this report, Pope Benedict XVI died suddenly, and no autopsy was performed. Later, his mortal remains where gravely disrespected, and the one Cardinal who most objected about this, Cardinal Pell, later died under suspicious circumstances and his own mortal remains were abused and mishandled in a grossly disrespectful manner, as was revealed recently. — I think it would be naive to think, that there is nothing more than gross incompetence going on at the Vatican: after all, the group in power calls itself “the Mafia of St. Gallen” for a reason.
