A former Vatican archbishop accused of paedophilia stored tens of thousands of child porn videos and photos on a computer in his office at the Holy See diplomatic compound in the Dominican Republic, it has emerged.
Details of Jozef Wesolowski's massive child porn stash have been revealed after the 66-year-old was arrested at the Vatican earlier this week.
He is the highest-ranking Vatican official ever to be investigated for sex abuse, and the first top papal representative to receive a defrocking sentence. He has been charged with sexually abusing minors and child porn possession and might face up to seven years in the Vatican's tiny jail.
Vatican detectives analysed the PC Wesolowski used in his office in Santo Domingo, where he served as Holy See envoy from 2008 to 2012 as part of an investigation into the alleged sexual abuse of underage boys.
Some 160 videos showing teenage boys forced to perform sexual acts on themselves and on adults and more than 86,000 pornographic photos were meticulously archived in several category-based folders, the paper said.

I wonder if he was making and selling these.
It's almost guaranteed that thus garbage was being distributed. Not by a single individual, however, but rather, more likely, by the organization producing them.
One wonders what other material these creeps have made.edit on Cpm1Sunday3020144930Sun, 28 Sep 2014 13:30:49 -05002014 by CagliostroTheGreat because: okay...

How many people turned their heads ?

I am repulsed and disgusted. This is why I dislike Religion.

This happens far too often.
Now, I believe, the reason for this behavior is far more sinister than simple paedophelia (which is vile and evil enough in its own right). The people in higher echelons of power, especially those in entertainment and religion, indulge in a lot of shady behavior for occult reasons.
But, of course, I'm just a Nutter for believing all that hooey, aren't I? That there is power in evil ritual as well as good?
I don't believe in the religions themselves but all that energy is going somewhere. There are reasons below the surface.

I am going to assume these kinds of people had other motives than being "men of god" for becoming priests.
It seems a pretty great job even at the lower levels, you make a short speech a couple times a week and get free car, cloths, food and even housekeepers.
