(AP File/Alessandra Tarantino) By: Jorge Jimenezmaria-Deschamps Twitter: @george_jimenez4 Antes de empezar a leer, les recomiendo el Libro "Los Cuervos del Vaticano, Benedicto XVI en la encrucijada" el cual me leí entero hace más de una década en Cuesta Libros, en la segunda planta de El Nacional de la Estrella Sadhalá en Santiago. A leak that challenged the power of the Catholic Church. Una filtración que puso en jaque el poder de la Iglesia Católica.The
Catholic Church, arguably the most powerful institution on Earth, has always
faced difficult situations due to the internal power struggles that have arisen
within it throughout history. There are numerous known cases of
conflicts and rivalries that have spilled beyond the Vatican walls. One such
case was the disappearance of teenager Emanuela Orlandi in 1983, who lived in
the Vatican and was never seen again. For many, it was an internal battle
between two opposing factions within the Holy See: those loyal to the faith
versus those loyal to money. Indeed, in the Vatican, religion has always been
secondary. The priority has been making money. There are even rumors that the
Vatican is the world's largest arms dealer. But there is insufficient evidence
to support this claim. But there is an event from 2012 that
shook the Vatican walls and caused the writer pope, the first to use Twitter,
Benedict XVI, to put aside his encyclicals and meditations to put all his
already scarce energy at the disposal of containing the hemorrhage of an event
that would change the Church forever: Vatileaks. Paolo Gabriele, the Vatican butler, was
convicted of stealing and leaking Pope Benedict XVI's private papers "to
save the church". Gabriele's case kicked off the first of
two "Vatileaks" scandals, exposing the internal tumult and turf wars
in the Holy See and allegations of corruption and wrongdoing at the highest
levels of the Catholic Church. Gabriele's arrest. El mayordomo del Papa Benedicto XVI es arrestado.Gabriele was arrested in May 2012 after
Vatican police found what they called an "enormous" stash of papal
documents in his Vatican City apartment that he had stolen from the papal
apartments. Gabriele told Vatican investigators he
had given the documents to Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi because he
thought Benedict wasn't being informed of the "evil and corruption"
in the Vatican and thought that exposing it publicly would put the church back
on the right track. He was convicted of aggravated theft by
a Vatican tribunal and served a few months of his 18-month sentence in the
Vatican police barracks before Benedict pardoned him at Christmas 2012. The
Gabriele scandal was believed to have played at least a small part in
Benedict's eventual decision to resign as pope two months later. In its
obituary notice Nov. 24, Vatican News noted that Gabriele had been a member of
the Pontifical Family, the small, tight-knit circle of people who surround the
pope, and his betrayal was sorely felt.
De acuerdo con el prestigioso periódico El País, de España, Paolo Gabriele fue, "el mayordomo que traicionó a Benedicto XVI" y siendo así a la Iglesia Católica, ya que Benedicto XVI era la cabeza de una institución que a la fecha de la filtración presumía ser junto al Islam, la única entidad religiosa con mas de 1000 millones de adeptos en el mundo. Agrega El País que antes que lo pillaran, "el traidor que filtró cientos de documentos que dejaban en muy mal lugar a Benedicto XVI, los periodistas italianos hablaban de “il corvo”, el cuervo ladrón. El Vaticano no daba crédito, ni a la existencia de un infiltrado en la habitación donde dormía el pontífice, ni por la interpretación de la prensa". Cuando se busca en internet sobre él, sale inmediatamente la información de que murió en circunstancias desconocidas por un enfermedad indeterminada en 2020. Quizá fue una ocasión perfecta para su muerte ya que se le podría achacar a la pandemia del Covid. También, en un criterio muy personal mío, es una manera de restarle mérito a lo que hizo y querer significar que YA MURIO y no podrá "hacer más daño". Podemos concluir que la filtración de Gabriele ha sido uno de los golpes más duros a la imagen de la Iglesia (la chiesa) y una suerte de Ciberguerra interna a uno de los estados más poderosos y herméticos del mundo.
