The Butler Did It

Seems there was someone at the Vatican with a conscience, who has been leaking stories to the Italian press about criminal activity at Holy Mother Church:

The pope’s butler has been arrested by Vatican police on suspicion of leaking a large number of confidential letters addressed to Benedict XVI which have lifted the lid on alleged corruption and nepotism at the Holy See.

(via The Guardian)

That’s right, folks, the Vatican has its own police, who, like their American counterparts, are more comfortable chasing whistleblowers than corrupt higher ups. The butler, apparently, despite all he’s seen, has a touching faith in the good intentions of Ratzinger, who did bestir himself to react to the leaks-by ordering an investigation of the leaker.

First things first, after all.

As to the title of this post, who could resist?
