PAPERS PILFERING PAPAL BUTLER TO STAND TRIAL............

Paolo Gabriele, who served as Pope Benedict XVI'S butler until it was discovered he was passing private papers from the papal desk to a journalist which were used in the authoring of a book alledging infighting, malfeasance, and corruption,  in the Vaican was indicted on Monday and will be made to stand trial for doing so, the Vatican has decided.  Gabriele in his mid forties, is a married man with three children, and described as a devout and pious Catholic.  He is reported to have admitted to investigators that he grew "disillusioned",  with the "evil", and "corruption", he saw and with belief that, "the Holy Spirit sheds light on everything in the Church decided that a shock...even in the media would put the Church back on track".  He is said to have also told investigators, "that in a way he was working undercover for the Holy Spirit".  He will be put on trial at the Vatican along with another employee in the Vatican Secretary of State's office who is accused of aiding and abetting the butler's release of documents vis a vis the computer system.  In addition to lifting sensitive documents and papal letters from the Vatican and sharing them with the reporter whose now best selling book includes, other items belonging to the pope were found in his private apartment.  If found guilty he could serve up to 5 years in an Italian prison for aggravated theft.  The Vatican dies not have a prison, only holding cells.  My question as questionable practices at the Vatican Bank have also come to light, is were the butler's acts, agreeably a wrong doing, and breach of trust and confidentiality; as much a crime, as it is a misdirected intention of a moral whistle blower for the cleansing and  spiritual renewal of the Church ?  The psychological stability of Paolo Gabriele, is also a consideration which may be a factor in why he carried out his troubling concerns about the evil and corruption he says he observed and led to his actions ...........Fr.  Troy
