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. My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at secureunity added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.

  2. A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at unitycapitalhub continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.

  3. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at lifespanbond confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.

  4. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at focusdrivenclick confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  5. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at bondallied earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.

  6. Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at safeguardbond extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.

  7. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at crazeborn furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  8. Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at mistyharborgoods reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.

  9. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at cloudberrymarket kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  10. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at capitalnexus continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  11. Reading this prompted me to dig out an old reference book related to the topic, and a stop at monarchbond extended that connection to other sources, content that connects me back to my own existing knowledge rather than asking me to forget it is content with continuity and this site has that continuous quality.

  12. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at lifelinebond held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  13. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at amberfieldcollective continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

  14. Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at mutualharbor prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.

  15. A clean read with no irritations, and a look at brassquartzoutlet 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.

  16. Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at faithfulbond kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.

  17. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at larkspurcollective hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

  18. A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at globalbuyingmarket continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.

  19. Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at suncrestforge reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.

  20. A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at clickpathway maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.

  21. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at equityanchor rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  22. A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at ironcladbond 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.

  23. Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at highcoastmarket confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

  24. Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to bondedframework 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. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at crazechip kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  27. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at pactline reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  28. Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at bondcentra only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.

  29. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at resilientbond reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  30. Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at goldbranchoutlet extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.

  31. Вывод из запоя — это медицинский процесс, направленный на безопасное прерывание длительного употребления алкоголя, очищение организма от токсинов, восстановление физического самочувствия человека и снижение риска опасных осложнений. Если зависимый продолжает пить несколько дней, недель или даже месяцев, нарушается работа нервной, сердечно-сосудистой, пищеварительной и выделительной системы, страдают внутренние органы, ухудшается сон, появляется страх, головные боли, тошнота и выраженный абстинентный синдром. В такой ситуации важно не ждать, а вызвать врача, чтобы получить профессиональную помощь быстро, анонимно и под контролем специалистов.

  32. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at ashenwillowstore 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.

  33. Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at centralbonding kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.

  34. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at verifiablebond provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  35. Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to bondlegacy continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.

  36. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at mainlinebond extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  37. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at signaltoaction kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  39. Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at northquillmarket confirmed the pattern, the difference between sites that hit quality occasionally and sites that hit it consistently is huge and this site has clearly demonstrated the consistent kind through what I have read this morning.

  40. Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after anchoralliance 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.

  41. Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at goldenloammarket added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.

  42. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at moonpetalcollective continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

  43. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at goldmarkbond 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.

  45. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at reliantbond fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
