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. Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at actionturnsideas confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.

  2. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through forwardmomentumlogic I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  3. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to actionbuildsconfidence only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  6. A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at growthflowswithintent only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.

  7. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at ideasneedclarity continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.

  8. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at focusdrivenprogression extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  9. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at growthmoveswithprecision kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

  10. Reading this as part of my evening winding down routine fit perfectly, and a stop at ideasbecomemovement extended the wind down nicely, content that calms rather than agitates is what I want at the end of the day and this site provides that calming reading experience reliably which is increasingly rare across the modern web.

  11. Наркологическая помощь клиники направлена не только на снятие острого состояния, но и на дальнейшее лечение алкогольной зависимости. Вывод из запоя на дому подходит пациенту, если нет признаков тяжелого отравления, психоза, судорог и опасных осложнений. Если состояние больного тяжелое, врач может рекомендовать лечение в стационаре клиники, где пациент находится под наблюдением медицинской команды, а терапия проходит безопаснее.

  12. Доброго вечера. Близкий человек уже пятые сутки в запое. Соседи уже вызывали полицию. Платная клиника — грабёж. Итог, единственные, кто приехал быстро — вывод из запоя дешево и без лишних трат. Через пару часов человек пришёл в норму. В общем, цены и телефон тут — вывод из запоя на дому самара круглосуточно https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-qzf.ru Не тяните. Вдруг пригодится.

  13. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at growthadvancescleanly extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  14. Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at actionturnsvision continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

  15. Здорова, народ Муж просто потерял себя Жена в отчаянии Нужна профессиональная помощь Короче, только стационар реально спас — вывод из запоя в стационаре наркологии с палатой Капельницы и препараты подбирали индивидуально В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — цена на вывод из запоя в стационаре цена на вывод из запоя в стационаре Стационар — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  16. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at buildtractionthoughtfully continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

  17. Вывод из запоя нужен не только после длительного употребления алкоголя. Обратиться за помощью стоит, если человек не может прекратить пить, плохо спит, испытывает сильную тревогу, жалуется на дрожь рук, слабость, головную боль, боль в груди, рвоту, сердцебиение или скачки давления. Чем дольше продолжается запой, тем выше риск осложнений со стороны сердца, печени, сосудов, нервной системы и психики. Особенно опасна ситуация, когда пациент пытается резко прекратить употребление спирта после нескольких дней запоя и сталкивается с выраженной абстиненцией.

  18. Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at clarityguidesgrowth kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.

  19. Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at clarityguidesmotion earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.

  21. Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at focusdefinesdirection extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.

  22. Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at forwardenergyengine reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.

  23. Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at ideamapper continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

  24. Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at forwardpathway added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.

  25. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to forwardthinkinghub 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.

  26. A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at ideaorchestration carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.

  27. What’s up guys I’m honestly sick of all the lag and constant glitches on most sites, I literally tried like 20 different casinos last month alone until I finally found a solid and honest provider, with an incredibly clean user interface and reliable license. Everything runs smooth as hell,

    Anyway, if you want to skip the research, all the verified info is right here ph365 ph365 Skip those blacklisted platforms and stick to trusted zones. definitely share this post with anyone who’s still looking for a decent casino!

  28. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at nobletrustnetwork maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  29. The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at focusactivation kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.

  30. Came in expecting another generic take and got something with actual character instead, and a look at visionexecution carried that personality forward, finding a distinct voice on a saturated topic is impressive and worth pointing out when it happens because most sites end up sounding identical to their nearest competitors quickly.
