It’s not surprising that the Vatican shows up in the Epstein files since Epstein kept tabs on every powerful entity on the planet. But one email claims Epstein actually lived in the Vatican with Pope John Paul II at some point.
An email from Brandon Thompson, who appeared to be a contractor working on refinishing and lime-washing columns in one of Epstein’s homes, outlined the intricacies of the project to Richard Kahn at HBRK Associates, Epstein’s accountant.
“He wants me to finish each column different, as when he was living with Pope John Paul the Second in Vatican, he looked at variety of different columns captured in wars,” wrote Thompson. “He told me that every Pope demanded to have a column from every concurred [SIC] country, so there is a collection of different columns in Vatican.”
Of course there is no proof that Epstein lived with the Pope, although he and Ghislaine Maxwell visited with him in 2003 during a public audience. Just how intimate Epstein was with the Vatican is unknown, but in 2011 he claimed to have nearly possessed the Codex Vaticanus, one of the oldest and most important Church relics containing a majority of the Greek Old Testament and the majority of the New Testament. The Codex was famously seized by Napoleon in 1799 as a war trophy but was returned to the Vatican Library in 1815.
In an email to Boris Nikolic, who was a science advisor to the Bill Gates Foundation at the time and a close Epstein confidante, Epstein wrote, “I forgot to mention to Bill, that one of the first almost interactions with him was when I was the underbidder for the codex…The auctioneers told me that i shold drop out because if i owned them, no one would ever see them and they really should be in semi public hands.. I later had to settle for a present from the vatican of a special edition.”
One of the most revealing emails about Epstein’s alleged ties to the Vatican is a 2013 correspondence with Larry Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, former Harvard President and former chief economist at the World Bank. Epstein writes, “The most important change in the Vatican may not be Pope Benedict XVI sudden retirement but the change in leadership at ‘the Institute for Works of Religion,’ the Vatican’s bank. Because of the Vatican’s status as a sovereign country, it is exempt from transparency rules of not only Italy— but of the European Union. This status allows its elite clients to evade any scrutiny in their money transfers.”
“Last May,” continued Epstein. “Vatican Bank President Ettore Gotti Tedeschi was fired after Italian authorities opened an investigation into a far flung bribery scheme in which he was allegedly involved. Then 47 dossiers, including compromising about “internal enemies” of his in the Vatican were found in a search of his home. They had instructions how they were used in case something happened to him. Tcdeschi’s intercepted calls futhcr revealed that his concern was that he would be assassinated because he knoew the Vatican’s secrets. By late 2012, he was cooperating with the ongoing Italian investigation, It was at this point that the all-powerful College of Cardinals, in one of the last acts in the Benedict papacy, appointed German lawyer Ernst von Freyberg as President of the bank. The came the extraordinary resignation of Pope Benedict.”
Freyberg had a short tenure as Vatican Bank president. He was named in June 2012 as an interim leader, then appointed president in February of 2013. Von Freyberg quickly began to open up the bank and adopted a zero-tolerance approach to suspicious activities, advocating transparency. He was dismissed in July along with the Vatican Bank’s entire senior management team as part of extensive reforms to the Catholic Church’s central government.
Jean-Baptiste Douville de Franssu has been chairman of Vatican Bank’s advisory board since July of 2014.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at seoorbit confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at exploreinnovativepathwaysnow confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.
Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at irubrisk held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.
Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at learnandtransformfast kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.
Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at jebyam continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at explorefutureopportunities suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at startthinkingstrategically confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at learnandexecuteclearly continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at learnandoptimizegrowthpath continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.

Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at explorefreshstrategicpaths reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.
However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at discovernewdirectionnow added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.
Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at unlocknewopportunities continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at hyxbrook suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at topazstrict reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at growwithstrategyintent did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at explorefutureopportunity added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at startpurposefullynow kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at growintentionallyforward extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at growresultsfocused continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at growresultsoriented extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at findgrowthpotential maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at seogrove maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.
Adding this to my list of go to references for the topic, and a stop at createprogressmappingnow confirmed the rest of the site deserves the same, definitely the kind of resource that earns its place rather than getting forgotten the moment the next interesting article shows up in my feed somewhere else on the web.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at buildclaritymovement also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at discoverfreshopportunities earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.
Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at createprogressframework extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sensible take on this topic without the usual marketing nonsense, and a look at isebrook kept that grounded approach going, sites that stay focused on serving readers rather than monetising every click are rare and this is clearly one of those rare ones I really appreciate finding.
Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at growwithsteadyintent reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.
Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at learnandadvancepath extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.
A clean read with no irritations, and a look at startprogressnow continued that frictionless quality, the absence of small irritations is something I notice only when present elsewhere and this site is one of the rare places where everything just works and lets me focus on the substance rather than fighting the format.
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at learnandadvancegrowth extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at startyourjourneynow suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.
The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at seoripple continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after findyourstrongdirection I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at startmovingstrategicallynow extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to growwithintentionalsteps kept that going, I appreciate when a site treats its readers like people who can think for themselves without needing constant hand holding through every paragraph.
Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at findnewopportunityroutes suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at exploreuntappedpotential extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at createimpactplanningframework produced a couple more such moments, prose that produces small spontaneous reactions in the reader is doing more than just transferring information and the writers here are clearly hitting that level fairly consistently throughout pieces.
Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at createprogressplanning extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at jedbroom the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at seohive maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.
Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at unlockcreativepaths closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.
A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at discoverforwardmomentumnow extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at learnandexecuteclearly confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.
Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at createbetterpaths continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.
Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at discovernewfocus reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.
