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. Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at vyrxo kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.

  2. Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at bryxo continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.

  3. Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at ulvirogoods added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.

  4. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at kavionbuy maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.

  5. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at nolarovault suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  6. Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after trustedonlineshoppingcenter I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.

  7. Refreshing tone compared to the dry corporate posts on similar topics, and a stop at prixo carried that personality through nicely, you can tell when a real person is behind the writing versus a content team chasing metrics and this site definitely falls into the former category clearly across what I have seen.

  8. However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at discovermodernstrategies continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.

  9. В Новороссийске наркологическая служба работает круглосуточно: вы можете вызвать специалиста на дом в любое время суток, ночью, в праздники и без выходных. Наркологическая служба работает по принципу круглосуточного дежурства, что позволяет оказать быструю помощь в экстренных случаях. При обращении по телефону оператор уточняет адрес, состояние больного, длительность приема алкоголя или наркотиков, наличие хронических заболеваний, противопоказания, жалобы, симптомы и необходимость срочного выезда.

  10. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at rixarostore extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  11. Nice and clean, that is the best way to describe the writing here, no clutter and no wasted words, and a quick visit to ariabee 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.

  12. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at clickforbetterdecisions extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  13. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at yaverocapital pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  14. Started smiling at one paragraph because the writing was just nice, and a look at xevra 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.

  15. Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at xelariotrust held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.

  16. Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at discovergrowthframeworks kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.

  17. Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at plivoxunity confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.

  18. Worth a slow read rather than the fast scan I usually default to, and a look at xeviroshop earned the same slower pace from me, content that resets my reading speed downward is content with substance worth absorbing and this site has produced that effect on me multiple times now over the last week here.

  19. Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at quvix 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.

  20. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at globalshoppinginfrastructure did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

  21. Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at velvix confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.

  22. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at clickforstrategicthinking continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  23. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at digitalcommercebuying extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  24. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at learnandscaleintelligently maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  25. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at maverobase produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.

  26. Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at smartconsumerbuyingzone only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

  27. Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at nixaropillar extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.

  28. Люди подскажите Близкий человек уже несколько дней в запое Дети напуганы Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — вывод из запоя спб цены доступные Приехали через 40 минут В общем, телефон и цены тут — вывод из запоя и кодировка на дому вывод из запоя и кодировка на дому Вывод из запоя на дому — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  29. Over the course of reading several posts here a pattern of quality has emerged, and a stop at mavro 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.

  30. Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at brixelmarket earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.

  31. Здорова, народ Брат потерял человеческий облик Соседи уже вызвали участкового Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, спасла только госпитализация — выведение из запоя в стационаре под контролем врачей Выписали через неделю здоровым В общем, не потеряйте контакты — быстрый вывод из запоя в стационаре быстрый вывод из запоя в стационаре Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в беде

  32. 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 cavaroshop 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.

  33. Люди подскажите Брат снова сорвался Родственники не знают что делать Нужен врач прямо сейчас Короче, врач приехал и поставил систему — нарколог на дом вывод из запоя на дому эффективно Приехал через 40 минут В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — выезд нарколога https://alkogolizm.narkolog-na-dom-voronezh16.ru Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  34. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at nevrix extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  35. Now feeling the small relief of finding writing that does not condescend, and a stop at zylavobase extended that respect for readers, content that treats its audience as capable adults rather than as people to be managed produces a different reading experience and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach across all pieces.

  36. Reading this gave me a small sense of progress on a topic I have been slowly working through, and a stop at yavon added another step forward, learning happens in small increments across many sources and finding sources that consistently contribute is the actual practical value of careful curation in an information rich world.

  37. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at trustedonlineshoppingcenter confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  38. A piece that was confident enough to leave some questions open rather than forcing closure, and a look at xelivotrustgroup continued that intellectual honesty, content that admits the limits of its scope is more trustworthy than content that pretends to total understanding and this site has the right calibration on certainty consistently.

  39. Слушайте, кто реально сталкивался с такой бедой? Брат снова жестко сорвался после долгого перерыва, Вся семья в дикой истерике, Никакие народные методы и таблетки из аптеки вообще не помогают пока чисто случайно не протестировали дежурную бригаду, которая реально спасает в таких ситуациях и обеспечивает быстрый выезд специалистов со всем необходимым оборудованием. Врачи приехали на вызов буквально через 40 минут,

    Кому тоже экстренно необходим проверенный круглосуточный телефон наркологии, там расписаны все технические подробности оказания помощи капельница от алкоголя цена капельница от алкоголя цена Лучше сразу звонить профессионалам и не заниматься опасным самолечением. обязательно перешлите этот пост тем, кто тоже сейчас находится в такой же критической ситуации!

  40. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at ravixo added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.

  41. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at premiumonlinebuyinghub continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  42. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at xenvo extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  43. Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at securestrategicalliances kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.

  44. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at qelix extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
