Not content to create a strategy for priestly pedophile
cover-ups during two papacies, the former Vatican Secretary of State
also steals from a children’s hospital. Recently news of Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone’s chutzpah emerged again in Barbie Latza Nadeau’s article “Vatican Bling-Bling: Hospital Funds Diverted to Cardinal’s Villa“
when we learned that, in jaw-dropping contrast to his boss Pope Francis
(who lives in a 750-square-foot apartment in a guesthouse at the
Vatican), the Cardinal created a penthouse for himself by refurbishing
two Vatican-owned rooftop apartments.
One of the apartments belonged to a children’s hospital. He shares the elegant space with three nuns who wait on him day and night. According to the Italian newspaper Il Tempo the renovation was worth one million euros (but he got a 50% reduction). Actually, it seems the renovations were paid for twice, thus no discount occurred at all. The Vatican Tribunal opened a criminal dossier on the matter last week.
