Files Allege Jeffrey Epstein Spent Time Living with Pope John Paul II in Vatican

2003: Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican

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.

  1. Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at expertvoyager kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  2. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at ideasneedmotion maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  3. Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at growththroughmotion drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.

  4. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at actioncreatestraction maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  5. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to rapidcourier confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.

  6. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at focusacceleration cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  7. Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at artistneedle only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.

  8. Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after momentumworkflow my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  9. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at clarityshift reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  10. Народ. Попали в жёсткую ситуацию. Дети плачут. В диспансер тащить — клеймо на всю жизнь. В итоге, единственные кто взялся и не прогадал — выведение из запоя без документов и штампа. Сняли интоксикацию за час. В общем, подробности и расценки тут — капельница от запоя недорого https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-ekaterinburg-bqm.ru Звоните пока не поздно. Кто в беде — тому точно.

  11. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at progressengineon only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  12. One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at stellarchoice added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.

  13. Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at intentionalvelocity continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.

  14. Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at signalcreatesmovement suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.

  15. Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at festiveglow confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.

  16. Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at radiantderma adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.

  17. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at mysticvoyage continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  18. Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at primepropertygo continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.

  19. Приветствую народ. Муж в запое, не просыпается. Родственники места себе не находят. Скорая отказывается выезжать на такие вызовы. Короче говоря, единственные кто взялся без предоплат — анонимное выведение из запоя без учёта. К утру человек пришёл в себя. В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — вывод из запоя круглосуточно https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-ekaterinburg-nws.ru Звоните сейчас. Может кому-то спасёт жизнь.

  20. Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at facthorizon continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.

  21. Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at buildvelocitycleanly confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.

  22. Learned something from this without having to dig through layers of fluff, and a stop at growthfindsclarity added a bit more context that helped tie things together for me, definitely a useful corner of the internet for anyone who wants real information without the usual marketing nonsense around it that often ruins similar pages.

  23. Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at progresswithcontrol extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

  24. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at ideaprogression adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

  25. Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at signalthefuture only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

  26. Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at strategyfocus reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.

  27. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to actionplanner kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  28. Now recognising the specific pleasure of reading writing that shows real care for sentence shapes, and a look at ideasgainmotion extended that craft pleasure, sentence level writing quality is something most blog content ignores entirely and this site has clearly invested in the prose layer alongside the substance which is rare today.

  29. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at shadowbeast continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  30. Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at forwardthinkingcore 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.

  31. Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at clarityfuel continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.

  32. Ze dolgo casa nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem med brskanjem po spletu nasel nekaj, kar je bilo prelomnica. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri Dr Vorobjevu. Veste, ni to le navada, ampak resna tezava. In mnogi ne vedo, kam se obrniti. Zato priporocam, da preverite celoten postopek na spletni strani, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: alkoholizem alkoholizem. Vec o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

    Po dolgih letih sem koncno nasel resitev. Vsak dan je bil izziv, ampak rezultat govori sam zase. Ce kogarkoli, ki ga imate radi ne ve, kam se obrniti – najboljsa odlocitev je poklicati. Srecno na tej poti!

  33. My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at executeideasfast keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.

  34. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at actionshapessuccess kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  35. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at urbanfashion continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  36. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at littlebloomhub continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  37. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at oceanvoyagerhub extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  38. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at actionremovesfriction the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  39. Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at forwardtractionhub kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.

  40. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at buildmomentumintelligently extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  41. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at quantumharbor continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  42. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at growthpipeline confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  43. Вывод из запоя на дому подходит пациентам, которым необходимо получить помощь в привычной обстановке. Вызов врача можно заказать в любое время суток: выездная бригада приезжает по указанному адресу, проводит осмотр, оценивает давление, пульс, степень интоксикации, риск психозов, галлюцинаций, судорожных реакций, инфаркта, инсульта и других осложнений.
    Детальнее – вывод из запоя вызов город
