When the prostitution ring at the Vatican this week, the only surprise to me was that there was a group called "the Gentlemen of His Holiness".
"What the heck is this", I said to myself.
With few exceptions, the Vatican is a place entirely filled with men wearing french cuffs working for His Holiness.
The Pope entertains heads of state, kings, queens -etc., so there is a need for people trained in the social graces and etiquette to assist the staff. But with the sex scandals rocking the Church, are they asking us to believe not a single one of them did diligence on a group called 'the gentlemen of His Holiness"?
That's like walking by a door at the Professional Golf Association labeled "Ladylike ladies of Tiger Woods" and not keeping an eye on the activities.
Is there a "gentlemen of his holiness massage parlor" somebody ought to be screening employees for problematic sexual practices before they hire them.
That was and always will be the solution to weeding out scandal in an all-male institution.

PLEASE REMEMBER THE PAPAL COURT IS PRECISELY THAT ... IT IS LIKE ANY REMNANT COURT CIRCLING YET UNDEAD MONARCHIES ... THE OFFICE OF THE PAPAL GENTLEMEN IS CENTURIES OLD ... AS ARE MEMBER OF 'LAY VATICAN ROYALTY AND VARIOUS SO CALLED EQUESTARIAN ORDERS OF KNIGHTS AND ORDERS OF LADIES ... BIG $$$$ CAN BUY A LOT OF CAPES AND PLUMAGE OR MANTELETTAS ... HOWEVER, IT IS NOT ALL THAT SERIOUS ... IT IS CENTURIES OF CUSTOM .... A REAL HEAD ACHE FOR ANY DESTECTIVE EFFORTS ... ANY THING IS POSSIBLE IN SUCH TANGLES OF ROLES AND RULES OF REGAL ETTIQUETE ...
ALAS NONE OF THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BASIS IN THE DIVINE INTENTION FOR HIS CHURCH ON EARTH ... MUCH IS BAGGAGE POST 325 AND ON ... PURIFICATION IS OF COURSE MUCH NEEDED ... THE FIRE OF THE SPIRIT IS WELL POISED ... LET THE FIRE FALL.
