The Vatican faces a widening scandal that in one short week has seen the butler of Pope Benedict XVI arrested, the president of its bank unceremoniously dismissed and the publication of a new book alleging conspiracies among cardinals.

It was a poisonous Pentecost Sunday for the Pope, who likely had the tumultuous events of the past week on his mind as he celebrated a mass in St. Peter’s Basilica on the day regarded as the birthday of the church.

The butler did it! He has spilled the beans on the Pope, cardinals, et al... There is a new book coming out.. This should be a good new source of information... and of course he was arrested... It looks like the internet has been a good tool for opening up all information sources giving few places to hide for those with secrets...

What misdeeds are you referring to? Have you seen any documents? Do you have information that you can share with us? Or are you just trying to sound clever?

Why would a person be arrested and "sensitive" materials be recovered regarding these "holy" men? Should "sensitive materials even exist in the first place?
Are they not the most highly and exhalted of Catholics? The direct link to god? The men who tell everyone else how to act? Are they not beyond scandal, deceit, lies, and dirty secrets?
Could their position and pious personas all be a load of crap?
Heaven forbid!

So the answer is no then isn't it? You have nothing to add but tittle tattle and juvenile gossip.
