One hundred and fifty years and thirteen days after the rupture of Porta Pia, the process seems to have begun to be completed: the progressive commitment of the Church to secularization.
In the long run, it has been discovered – the newspapers lately have excellent and often even reliable sources within the holy walls – that a lot of money went from the Vatican to Australia, perhaps even to finance the prosecution, say, against Cardinal George Pell. He was accused of pedophilia, handed over to earthly justice by God’s representatives on Earth, and subsequently convicted. It is quite an instructive story: two young men in their thirties recounted that the cardinal extended his hands to them when they were children. One died from drugs before he could testify in court, the other testified, but with his identity protected, so no one outside the room would know who he is. Then a second jury finally acquitted Pell, convinced that the doubt had never reached the solidity of the evidence, and with some consolation for those who consider the culture of suspicion as a widespread and enduring fad, but not a criterion for judges. .
In the delightfully allusive language of judicial chronicles, the money came from circles close to Cardinal Angelo Becciu, accused of various robberies and, unlike his rival Pell, entrusted not to earthly justice, but directly to the popular social court. This is the most disturbing aspect, rather than the obvious questions about the validity of the reconstruction, or about the adaptation to modern systems of the traditional and Luciferian intrigues of the Holy See. The memory of Karol Wojtyla, who put the Milan prosecutors determined to arrest Paul Marcinkus at the door, is precisely a memory. Today’s Vatican appears to have renounced its nature as a theocratic state whose absolute monarch is God’s vicar on earth. And it is so by self-certification.
Even those who do not believe in the Eternal Father, or in revealed religions, are fascinated – I was – by the sacredness of an institution that is considered directly invested by divine power and therefore outside of time and space. The secularization of the Pope King, the exercise of an evident hypocrisy, was at least the criterion to impose himself on the century. The strategy of liberating oneself from sins – from the many and deadly sins – by seeking salvation in the halls of justice or in the exclusive verbal feast, is the criterion to allow yourself to be dominated by the century. For days Cardinal Becciu and his sins, presumed for now, have been offered with great and serial pomp as if they were the wiretapping of a Nicola Cosentino – and then perhaps he will end up acquitted, like Cosentino or Pell – and the celestial Vatican, a billionaire and austere. now it seems the prosecutor of Trani or Santa Maria Capua Vetere.
Who knows if the pontiff regrets this bad habit or if he approves of it. After all, his teaching has always aimed to put the Church back in the midst of men, his brusque and frugal approach was beautiful and shocking, soon paroxysmal, because the Pope has truly become one of us, who he talks with letters in the newspapers, debates and fights with politicians, writes on Twitter and is so one of us that, like us, he has his trolls and his enemies, and is insulted and mocked like any other influencer. The last step, that of saving the house of God relying on manipulist pan-criminalism and the circus of misfortune, has the air of the definitive step towards the world where one is worth one and where God is no longer worth anything.
