Rome - Protecting a Murderer
"One of the most wanted war criminals is being shielded by the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican hierarchy, the United Nations' chief prosecutor for former Yugoslavia said yesterday."
The above is quoted from the British 'Daily Telegraph,' in a Sept 20 article titled, "Vatican Accused of Shielding 'War Criminal.'" The article continued:
"Carla del Ponte, the chief prosecutor of the UN international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said she believed that Gen Ante Gotovina was being sheltered in a Franciscan monastery in his native Croatia."
Gotovina "is accused of overseeing and permitting the killing of at least 150 Serb civilians and the forced deportation of between 150,000 and 200,000 others..." in 1995. He has been a fugitive since 2001.
Mrs del Ponte is finding out that the Catholic Church is VERY GOOD at protecting criminals! She said, "I have information he is hiding in a Franciscan monastery and so the Catholic Church is protecting him. I have taken this up with the Vatican and the Vatican refuses totally to co-operate with us."
Surprise, surprise!! For months, del Ponte has been trying to work quietly with the Vatican about this, but to no avail. So, she has decided to make it public.
There are many monasteries in Croatia, so the basic line the Vatican has been giving del Ponte goes something like this: Tell us which monastery he's in first, and then we may do something about it.
Comment – What a joke! It's like the police asking someone if there's a criminal in his house, and he replies, "Well, if you can't tell me what room he's in, I can't answer you."
And – Catholic protection for this murderer gets even worse! In July del Ponte met with the Vatican "Secretary for Relations with States" (foreign minister) Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo. The article reported:
"He refused to help, telling her THE VATICAN WAS NOT A STATE (emphasis mine) and thus had 'no international obligations' to help the UN to hunt war criminals."
Comment – The Vatican is "NOT A STATE." Archbishop Lajolo is a LIAR. The Vatican has a postal system, a currency, a head of state (pope), a diplomatic corps, embassies, etc. The Vatican IS A STATE! When it suits their purposes – the Vatican is ALWAYS quick to use "diplomatic immunity" – for example when in the early 1990s the Cleveland, Ohio Catholic diocese hustled off to the Vatican embassy in Washington, DC some incriminating sex abuse documents, thus keeping them away from local prosecutors.
Are you praying daily that Christ protect our nations from the Roman Catholic Church? If not, why?
