Very breaking: "I confess: I'm one of the whistleblowers"

Dit moet U lezen in La Repubblica:

"Who are the Vatican whistleblowers? "There isn't just one brain behind the operation, there are several. There are cardinals, private secretaries, monsignors and the small fry. Men and women, priests and laypeople. The whistleblowers even include cardinals. But the Vatican Secretary of State cannot admit that and has the small fry arrested, like "Paoletto" (as Paolo Gabriele is affectionately known), the Pope's valet. Who has got nothing to do with it apart from having passed on some letters."

A suburb in the north of Rome, a table in a bar, traffic passing by. It is lunchtime on a now limpid Sunday morning and one of those behind the flow of confidential letters from the Holy See 1 is explaining how the operation works.

"Those doing it are acting to protect the Pope."

What did the Pope do then?

"The Pope realised that he had to protect himself. He summoned five people he knew he could trust, four men and one woman. The so-called rapporteurs, Benedict's secret agents. The Pope asked these people for advice, giving everyone a role, with the woman coordinating all five. "

"There is a woman helping the Pope in this?

"Yes, she's the strategist. Then there is one physically collecting the evidence. Another preparing the ground, and the other two make sure all this is possible. The role of these trusted people is to tell the Pope who are his friends and who his enemies, so you know who you are fighting against."

Tussenopmerking schrijver dezes: as always: "Dux femina facti"!

"Why did you decide to come out into the open?
"To reveal the truth. And to bring an end to this media witchhunt for a culprit in the guise of a whistleblower (the valet), a priest (Father George), or a high official or cardinal (Gotti, Cardinal Piacenza or others). The role of the Church is to defend the Gospel, not to accumulate power and money. And I'm doing this in the name of God. I'm not afraid."

Naschrift:
Handelde de butler dan in opdracht van de paus omdat de paus de media bespeelt om Bertone te wippen? Daarvoor kan toch ook de rechte weg worden gekozen. Het wordt steeds gekker. Dit verhaal schreeuwt om een boek en om verfilming. Ik zal eens overleggen met mijn projectgroep wat we gaan doen als we klaar zijn met het script voor de film "Observatrix strikes back!". Audities wie mijn rol mag spelen in de film zijn gaande op plaatsen buiten NL.
