Two ‘moles’ arrested as fresh scandal hits Vatican over leaked documents

he Vatican has arrested a Spanish prelate and a social media expert for allegedly stealing and leaking classified documents in the second such scandal to hit the secretive institution in three years.

Monsignor Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda, 54, who served on a special commission set up by Pope Francis to advise him on economic reform within the Vatican, was arrested along with a second member of the commission, Francesca Chaouqui.

The arrests were part of a several months-long investigation into the “misappropriation and disclosure of classified documents and information”.

They followed Italian media reports at the weekend that Vatican police were investigating the attempted theft of a laptop belonging to Libero Milone, the head of the city state’s new finance office.

Spys or Whistle blowers?

This Francis is supposed to be a new and different sort of Pope -- let's see how he measures up on transparency.

Relax, the Popup admitted he is really a Socialist. These guys are just trying to expose his BS.

All this seems to deal with hijinks predating Francis' papacy, actually.

So what if he is? Have you ever heard of Christian socialism?

Unlikey anything will ever come out that is really damning. Financial records and stuff that nobody really cares about. Everyone already knows the Catholic Church is rich.

Say, why hasn't VaticanAssassin posted here yet?
