Pope pardons butler jailed over Vatican leaksBy Laura Smith-Spark and Saskya Vandoorne, CNN (CNN) – Pope Benedict XVI has pardoned his former butler, Paolo Gabriele, weeks after he was sentenced to 18 months in prison for leaking the pope's private papers, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said, The pope visited Gabriele in prison "in order to confirm his forgiveness and communicate in person his decision to grant Mr. Gabriele's request for pardon, thereby remitting the sentence passed against the latter," said a Vatican statement. "This constitutes a paternal gesture toward a person with whom the Pope shared a relationship of daily familiarity for many years." Gabriele was immediately released and has returned home, the statement said.

Hello, how are things? I recently discussed this short article along with a colleague, there was a quality snicker. wow gold http://blogya.de/rsfarmer/647704/Very+good+rs+gold+and+also+all+the+best+taking.html
I am sure this man has learned his lesson, and will keep his mouth shut.
Rainer got jilled on page 1. Too funny!
everyone on earth who believes in imaginary men in the sky is delusional.
there are precisely zero gods.
the pope is not divine in any way.
all religions are a scourge upon humanity, they are a cancer that destroys reason and intelligence.
the true force of darkness on this planet rests entirely inside the confines of those who subscribe to monotheistic religions.
science is and has been – our only illumination.
tolerance of religious idiocy has to end.
enough is enough
Right on, AnViL. Great post, high time it was said, hope to hear more, similar content in 2013 and beyond!
