Well the Pope Benny is 4 for 4.

Nazi ...... said he left the german army in May 1944 ..... turns out to be May 1945 (Big difference)

Wrote a 1962 document on how to cover up and sanitize the pedophiles and sex crimes

Injected himself into the election .... Kerry a sinner in the eyes of the Church ...... no church sacraments

And now in bed w/ the bush family "crime" business ...... a little Swiss money laundering operation. Working w/ Neil Bush?

I really do not like the bush family.

THE NEW POPE BENEDICT XVI
Neil Bush, Ratzinger co-founders
President's younger brother served with then-cardinal on board of relatively unknown ecumenical foundation

BY KNUT ROYCE AND TOM BRUNE
WASHINGTON BUREAU

April 21, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Neil Bush, the president's controversial younger brother, six years ago joined the cardinal who this week became Pope Benedict XVI as a founding board member of a little known Swiss ecumenical foundation. The charter members of the board were all well-known international religious figures, except for Bush and his close friend and business partner, Jamal Daniel, whose family has extensive holdings in the United States and Switzerland, public records show.

(snip)

Gary Vachicouras, a theologian and foundation official in Geneva, would not explain in a telephone interview yesterday why Bush, who has no clear public connection to religious causes, was on the first board.

(snip)

The foundation, based at the Orthodox Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Geneva, is listed by Dun & Bradstreet business credit reports as a management trust for purposes other than education, religion, charity or research. But Vachicouras said the designation must be a mistake of translation to English because the foundation is a private nonprofit established under Swiss law. He said the foundation is being "relaunched" on its mission to publish the original text of the Bible's Old Testament in Hebrew, its New Testament in Greek and the Quran in Arabic.

Fatio, who left the board three years ago, said the foundation "never had any money." Vachicouras declined to discuss finances. He said, "We keep a low profile because that makes it easier to get work done."

2. actually, it's far more than four . . .
you can add that he has also called homosexuality an intrinsic moral evil, and denounced "radical feminism" as contrary to God's plan for women . . . that's just two particularly egregious ones out of many . . .

By "money laundering", do you mean a method to pass bribes to well-connected public officials, such as the Bush family evil empire?

4. Do you have any further information
that makes you call it a little Swiss money laundering operation? If so, please share it. I don't doubt it was nefarious, but I'd sure like something more than mere speculation on our part.

6. Hell, speculation is fun ......
.... the other side would tell us that the sun rises in the west and sets east .....

bottom line .... you put money into Swiss accounts because you want to keep
things out of sight.
