Jesus Christ born:  late November of 5 B.C. 
 
Jesus Christ had 12 disciples:  
 
1) ANDREW
Andrew was the brother of Peter, and a son of Jonas. He lived in Bethsaida and Capernaum and was a fisherman before Jesus called him. Originally he was a disciple of John the Baptist (Mark 1:16-18). Andrew brought his brother, Peter, to Jesus (John 1:40). 2) BARTHOLOMEW

12)  THOMAS
Thomas Didymus lived in Galilee. 
Jesus Christ maintained a ministry approximately A.D. 31.
Jesus Christ killed:  Friday, April 3, A.D. 33.
 
65-300 A.D. - early persecutions by the Roman government.
 
313 A.D. The Roman Emperor Constantine established himself as the head of the church around 313 A.D., which made this new "Christianity" the official religion of the Roman Empire.
 
440-461 A.D. -The first actual Pope in Rome was probably Leo I   
 
590- 604 A.D.  some claim that Gregory I was the first Pope.  
 
500 - 1500 - became known as the "Dark Ages".  
 
"The Catholic church teaches that Peter was the first Pope and the earthly head of the church, but the Bible never says this once. In fact, it was Peter himself who spoke against "being lords over God's heritage" in I Peter 5:3. Popes do not marry, although Peter did (Mat. 8:14; I Cor. 9:5). The Bible never speaks of Peter being in Rome, and it was Paul, not Peter, who wrote the epistle to the Romans. In the New Testament, Paul wrote 100 chapters with 2,325 verses, while Peter wrote only 8 chapters with 166 verses. In Peter's first epistle he stated that he was simply "an apostle of Jesus Christ," not a Pope (I Pet. 1:1). The Roman papacy and priesthood is just a huge fraud to keep members in bondage to a corrupt pagan church."
 
1452 -- "Pope Nicholas the V, gave permission to King Alfonso of Portugal to capture, vanquish and subdue, all Saracens, Pagans and other enemies of Christ, to take all their possessions and property, and to put them to perpetual slavery." 

1493 -- "Pope Alexander the 2nd, one of the most corrupt Popes in Catholic history, declared that the Christian religion would dominate the world and all non-Christians would be subjugated to Christian law or be punished. 

"Pope Alexander the 2nd decree stands as the foundation of western international law and western constitutional law till today." 

"Four Papal Bulls were issued by the Vatican Hierarch"which legally sanctioned Columbus Genocide Campaign against Indigenous peoples of the Americas". The Bull "interCaetera" of May 3rd 1493 state, "the Catholic Faith and the Christian religion particularly in our times, shall be exalted and everywhere simplified and spread, (and) that the SALVATION OF SOULS MAY BE PROVIDED FOR AND BARBAROUS NATIONS SUBJUGATED AND BROUGHT TO THE VERY TRUE FAITH." 

Then there was a Frenchman named NOSTRODAMUS, his real name being Michel de Nostredame, medical worker who became well known for his prophecies. 

NOSTRODAMUS stated that "Liberty shall not be recovered, a black, fierce, villainous, evil man shall occupy it, when the ties of his alliance are wrought. Venice shall be vexed by Hister." 

"Beasts wild with hunger will cross the rivers, the greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister. He will drag the leader in a cage of iron, when the child of Germany observes no law." 
 
 

1503 - Prophet/Seer Nostradamus: original portrait by his son Cesar Born 14 December or 21 December December 1503
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France 
 
1566 -  Nostradamus Died 2 July 1566 ( 1566-07-02 ) (aged 62)
Salon-de-Provence, France Occupation Apothecary, author, translator, astrological consultantKnown for Prophecy
Michel de Nostredame (14 or 21 December 1503 [ 1 ] -- 2 July 1566), usually Latinised toNostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections ofprophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties (The Prophecies), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along with the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events.
Most academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power. Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains specifically enough to allow a clear identification of any event in advance. [ 2 ]

1822 - Secret Treaty of Verona was agreed to by Austria, France, Russia, Prussia, the United States, England, and the Vatican.  The Vatican was complemented for maintaining "obedience" among the people.
 
Note:  This Secret Treaty shows a direct connection of those nations who moved to assume innocent nations and validated the plundering upon innocents supported by the Vatican who claimed Jesus Christ in their teachings, kept people in the dark, and were associated with those who moved to claim lands, monies belonging to those who they claimed to be "barbaric".  These nations also moved to get rid of Monarchy governments worldwide.
 
1916 - The Children of Fatima witnessed Jesus Christ's mother Mary or The Lady of Fatima.
1917 -  Queen Liliuokalani died.  She appeared to have been a seer because she said that if the U.S. did not make corrections, it would fall apart.
 
Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta
Lucia, Francisco & Jacinta
During World War I Pope Benedict XV made repeated but forlorn pleas for peace, and finally, in May 1917, made a direct appeal to Mary to intercede for peace in the world. The response was Mary's first appearance at Fatima just over a week later. At this time Fatima was just a small village about seventy miles north of Lisbon; the three children to whom she appeared were Lucia dos Santos, aged ten, and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto, brother and sister, aged eight and seven respectively.The children of Fatima witnessed Miracles and were given letters with secrets: 
1) First secret: Vision of hell 
2) Second secret: "The war is coming to an end. But if people do not cease to offend the Lord, another and more terrible one will break out during the next pontificate. When you see the night lit up by a great unknown light, know that it is a sign that God gives you of that punishment of the world by another war, famine and persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father." 
3) "was reportedly opened by Pope John XXIII in 1960. What the message said has never been made public, but according to one account, the pope told some of those closest to him in the Vatican that what he read there almost made him faint with horror."

The vision of hell
Lucia later revealed that as she spoke these words, Mary opened her hands and rays of light from them seemed to penetrate the earth so that they saw a terrifying vision of hell, full of demons and lost souls amidst indescribable horrors.
This vision of hell was the first part of the "secret" of Fatima, and was not revealed until much later. The children looked up to the sad face of the Blessed Virgin, who spoke to them kindly:
"You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end; but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that he is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father.
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."
At this point the second part of the secret of Fatima ends and the third part begins with the words, "In Portugal the dogma of the faith will always be preserved ... " The first two parts of the secret only became publicly known in 1942. The third part of the secret has only recently been publicly divulged, in June 2000.
Mary specifically told Lucia not to tell anyone about the secret at this stage, apart from Francisco, before continuing: "When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need." After assuring Lucia that there was nothing more, Mary disappeared off into the distance.
1982 -  
"In the documentation presented here four other texts have been added to the manuscripts of Sister Lucia: 1) the Holy Father's letter of 19 April 2000 to Sister Lucia; 2) an account of the conversation of 27 April 2000 with Sister Lucia; 3) the statement which the Holy Father appointed Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Secretary of State, to read on 13 May 2000; 4) the theological commentary by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Sister Lucia had already given an indication for interpreting the third part of the “secret” in a letter to the Holy Father, dated 12 May 1982:
“The third part of the secret refers to Our Lady's words: ‘If not [Russia] will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated' (13-VII-1917). 
The third part of the secret is a symbolic revelation, referring to this part of the Message, conditioned by whether we accept or not what the Message itself asks of us: ‘If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, etc.'. 
Since we did not heed this appeal of the Message, we see that it has been fulfilled, Russia has invaded the world with her errors. And if we have not yet seen the complete fulfilment of the final part of this prophecy, we are going towards it little by little with great strides. If we do not reject the path of sin, hatred, revenge, injustice, violations of the rights of the human person, immorality and violence, etc. 
And let us not say that it is God who is punishing us in this way; on the contrary it is people themselves who are preparing their own punishment. In his kindness God warns us and calls us to the right path, while respecting the freedom he has given us; hence people are responsible”.(5)
The decision of His Holiness Pope John Paul II to make public the third part of the “secret” of Fatima brings to an end a period of history marked by tragic human lust for power and evil, yet pervaded by the merciful love of God and the watchful care of the Mother of Jesus and of the Church.
The action of God, the Lord of history, and the co-responsibility of man in the drama of his creative freedom, are the two pillars upon which human history is built.
Our Lady, who appeared at Fatima, recalls these forgotten values. She reminds us that man's future is in God, and that we are active and responsible partners in creating that future."
2000 -   The Secret Number 3 of Our Lady of Fatima was released by the Vatican.
 
 "December 2000, (U.S. President George W. Bush) Bush sat in the classroom of a Baptist church in Austin, Tex., with 30 or so clergy members and asked, ''How do I speak to the soul of the nation?'' He listened as each guest articulated a vision of what might be. 
 
2003 -  911 Twin Towers owned by the Rockefellers, heads of EXXON formerly known as Standard Oil Company was imploded. Reference: http://911justicehalifax.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/top-mafia-figure-... and articles by Amelia Gora, and others
 
2007 - “I know for a fact Bush, the Pope and other top Vatican and U.S. government leaders had prior knowledge and help organize 9/11. They did it for many obvious reason, one being instigating the war in Iraq. But they also did it to get their hands on all the gold that was hidden below in the Twin Towers.
“My grandfather’s construction company built the Twin Towers and after it was completed, I know they went in and put in big underground vaults to house an enormous amount of gold which is now in Bush’s and Vatican hands in order to fund the war.”
Besides implicating the Vatican and Bush in 9/11, Gambino set the record straight about the JFK assassination, saying he was in Dallas when Kennedy was shot and the fatal bullet came from a shooter located in an underground storm drain.
“I was there when he was shot and I know for a fact Rosselli was in the storm drain doing the shooting and Frank Sturgiss was also part of the hit team,” said Gambino. “The same group of guys we have talked about in the Vatican and U.S. government gave the orders and asked the Mafia families for help in taking down Kennedy.” - Tony Gambino of the infamous Gambino New York crime family said besides Mob Bosses, the outfits that benefit most from organized crime are the corrupt Vatican and U.S. government.

  • February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress. [11]

  • August 2013 - A Department of Defense military training manual teaches soldiers that people who talk about "individual liberties, states' rights, and how to make the world a better place" are "extremists."

  • July 2013 - An Air Force chaplain who posted a website article on the importance of faith and the origin of the phrase "There are no atheists in foxholes" was officially ordered to remove his post because some were offended by the use of that famous World War II phrase. [29]

It stated: “On the eighth day, God looked down on His creation and said, ‘I need someone who will take care of the Airmen.’ So God created a First Sergeant.” Because the video mentioned the word “God,” the Air Force required that it be taken down. [32]

  • August 2013 - USAID, a federal government agency, shut down a conference in South Korea the night before it was scheduled to take place because some of the presentations were not pro-abortion but instead presented information on abortion complications, including the problems of "preterm births, mental health issues, and maternal mortality" among women giving birth who had previous abortions. [58]

  • December 2012 – Despite having campaigned to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, President Obama once again suspends the provisions of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 which requires the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the American Embassy there. [61]

  • August 2010 – Obama speaks with great praise of Islam and condescendingly of Christianity. [84]

  • 2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha. [89]

Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.

Conclusion

Jesus Christ was born, he went missing for a few years and went traveling to faraway places, he was persecuted by criminals, wrongfully killed while his followers watched.
There's a big gap from the period of his death in 33 A.D. and periods thru 65 A.D. and the Roman persecutions began.
The United States has been labeled as the Roman government and persecutions have picked up with Obama pushing to destroy the Catholic and Protestant Religions.
The Vatican can no longer control the people and play their role in maintaining "obedience" among the people because the people question the authorities who cannot validate their positions in history or lack of a clean history.
Our Lady of Fatima gave good counsel in directing the people in what they must do.........but it appears that the story of the children are not entirely credible because the early deaths of some of the children.
Research incomplete and left up to other researchers to complete.

Amelia Gora: hi Anson......we're already doing it........reclaiming our alodio/alodial lands helps..... all kanaka maoli needs to reclaim, reenter, regroup and connect to their roots, their lands based on our Hawaiian Kingdom laws........Queen Liliuokalani said that everyone will need to reclaim their lands individually ....she told this to her ladies in waiting..........and when you review history, you'll find that the Problematic areas are the bankers who criminally assumed what was Not theirs and then validated the crimes for the U.S., England........ read the article AGAINST MONARCHY for many of the answers are there............if you'll notice, Obama's bank /stockholder of Bank of Hawaii is now the second largest bank in the U.S..... and it's based on lands in the Hawaiian Islands, investments with the Goldman & Sachs (reread all the posts about the bankers that I did post here on Facebook)...... remember, these people DO NOT HAVE TITLES.......kanaka maoli have titles.........Hawaiians have been lied to for so long that they have actually come to believe the lies by a Pirate entity who try to validate their criminal existence to this day..........and how so? through Hawaiian Homes, OHA/ Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Kanaiowalu set ups..........all the people btw who sign contracts into these criminal, corrupt set ups are actually under duress, coercion, stress, usurpation and don't understand what they're doing.....and that is the intent of "indoctrination"..............and that can be undone with some help from the Royal Families, descendants of the Sovereign, and House of Nobles who are part of the permanent parts of the Hawaiian Government made up of three parts.... the last part is the House of Representatives a voted in portion of the Hawaiian Government..........Corruption exists and Non owners are claiming lands, monies, mineral rights, etc. that does not belong to them.....so we reclaim what belongs to our families, our people for starters in the Hawaiian Islands......others outside of the Hawaiian Islands can do the same......remember the bankers in 1893 were bankrupt and most were closing down, folding..........the American Civil War wrecked the monetary stability of the U.S., England, and France, as well as the bankers....the Bank of England, international bankers......Did you know that the American Civil War debts weren't paid off until 1934?........so we all do our part and return to our lands and we can say that we have done our part to "fragment this regime without sacrificing human life"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGKx2LNbF5M

Seems like the Pope Has Conservative Paul Ryan Rattled

The Catholic conservative who insists he cares about the poor says Pope Francis doesn’t understand capitalism.

When 1.3 million Americans lose their unemployment benefits on Saturday, they can thank Rep. Paul Ryan. He took the lead in negotiating a bipartisan budget deal with Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, and on behalf of his party, held the line against continuing extended unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless.
Sure, a lot of Republicans share blame with Ryan. But he deserves extra-special (negative) credit for the deal, because he has lately had the audacity to depict himself as the new face of “compassionate conservatism,” insisting Republicans must pay attention to the problems of the poor. Friends say the man who once worshipped Ayn Rand now takes Pope Francis as his moral role model. Except he can’t help treating his new role model with arrogance and contempt.
It’s true that while knuckle-draggers like Rush Limbaugh attack the pope as a Marxist, Ryan has praised him, which I guess takes a tiny bit of courage since normally Republicans don’t like to buck the leader of their party. “What I love about the pope is he is triggering the exact kind of dialogue we ought to be having,” Ryan told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. “People need to get involved in their communities to make a difference, to fix problems soul to soul.”
But he couldn’t suppress either his right-wing politics or his supreme capacity for condescension for very long. “The guy is from Argentina, they haven’t had real capitalism in Argentina,” Ryan said (referring to the pope as “the guy” is a nice folksy touch.) “They have crony capitalism in Argentina. They don’t have a true free enterprise system.”
Beltway journalists would have us believe Ryan’s love for the guy from Argentina is triggering genuine new interest in helping the poor. “My bet is that he’s on Pope Francis’ team,” a former Romney-Ryan advisor told BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins, for a worshipful Ryan profile headlined “Paul Ryan finds God.”
I admit, I have been immune to Ryan’s various efforts to brand himself as a bright and innovative Republican over the years – and I continue to be. Let’s recall: The guy who impressed Ezra Klein as a serious albeit deficit-obsessed budget wonk turned out to be terrible at math – his heralded “Roadmap,” the Ryan budget, busted out the deficit for years and didn’t balance the budget until 2040, thanks to its generous tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
Now we’re supposed to believe Ryan is going to deliver an anti-poverty agenda as soon as the spring. “This is my next ‘Roadmap,’” Ryan told an aide, according to Coppins. “I want to figure out a way for conservatives to come up with solutions to poverty. I have to do this.”
Excuse me if I remain a skeptic. Ryan’s prescription for the poor is, and always has been, a dose of discipline. Even in 2010, with unemployment in his own district hovering around 12 percent, he voted against extending unemployment benefits on the grounds that they’d increase the deficit – and then reversed himself when they were coupled with an extension of Bush tax cuts, which of course added far more to the deficit than extended benefits.
Ryan has always defended his stinginess on safety net issues as tough love for the poor, giving them “incentives” to take a job, any job, to support their families.
“We have an incentive-based system where people want to get up and make the most of their lives, for themselves and their kids,” he says. “We don’t want to turn this safety net into a hammock that ends up lulling people in their lives into dependency and complacency. That’s the big debate we’re having right now.”
I don’t think Pope Francis would call our threadbare safety net a hammock.
Today, Ryan’s guide on the road to a GOP poverty agenda is the same man who has guided generations of Republicans into political self-congratulation and little else: Bob Woodson, a conservative proponent of what used to be touted as “black capitalism.” Now 75, Woodson runs the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, and he helped inspire the dead-end “enterprise zone” movement beloved by some Republicans back in the 1980s and ’90s. Enterprise zones, which lowered taxes and created other incentives for businesses to invest and hire in low-income neighborhoods, were championed by the late Sen. Jack Kemp, who is one of Ryan’s political mentors. They have repeatedly been found to have “negligible” effects on employment, earnings and business creation in urban neighborhoods.
But Woodson apparently finds Ryan a one-man enterprise zone for restoring his national profile. (He last made headlines for attacking African-American Democrats at the GOP’s 50th anniversary of the March on Washington commemoration, insisting they let black issues languish while gays and immigrants became priorities.) Woodson is the star of Coppins’s Ryan piece, vouching for the Republican’s “authenticity” on poverty issues.
“The criminal lifestyle makes you very discerning, and everywhere I’ve taken Paul, these very discerning people have given me a thumbs up,” Woodson told Coppins. “You can’t lip synch authenticity around people like that.”
But when asked what Ryan has done tangibly for the poor, the Republican came up with one word: neckties. Apparently, according to Woodson, Ryan sent neckties to a classroom of teenagers after one admired his while he was visiting. So where conservatives used to preach that the poor should lift themselves up by their bootstraps, their new anti-poverty agenda involves neckties.
In the spirit of the holiday season, I have to admit there’s something a little bit touching about Ryan’s insistence that the GOP needs an anti-poverty agenda. Honestly, Jack Kemp would be a welcome addition to the modern Republican Party, which prefers to demonize the poor rather than empathize.
But forgive me if I can’t entirely believe in Paul Ryan’s “authenticity” on these issues. A guy so prideful that he thinks he can lecture the pope about capitalism doesn’t strike me as capable of the humility required to rethink his political beliefs. I have no doubt Pope Francis would support extended unemployment benefits, and a host of other policies to make life easier for poor people and help them find genuine opportunity. I don’t think he’d be satisfied with just sending them neckties.

Pope Francis’ homily at the vigil mass for Christmas focused on the importance of Jesus’ incarnation as a real and meaningful event.
“The grace which was revealed in our world is Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary, true man and true God. He has entered our history; he has shared our journey. He came to free us from darkness and to grant us light,” said the Pope on Dec. 24 at the mass held in St. Peter’s Basilica.
“In him was revealed the grace, the mercy, and the tender love of the Father: Jesus is Love incarnate. He is not simply a teacher of wisdom, he is not an ideal for which we strive while knowing that we are hopelessly distant from it. He is the meaning of life and history, who has pitched his tent in our midst.”
Below, the full text of Pope Francis’ homily:
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light” (Is 9:1).
This prophecy of Isaiah never ceases to touch us, especially when we hear it proclaimed in the liturgy of Christmas Night. This is not simply an emotional or sentimental matter. It moves us because it states the deep reality of what we are: a people who walk, and all around us – and within us as well – there is darkness and light. In this night, as the spirit of darkness enfolds the world, there takes place anew the event which always amazes and surprises us: the people who walk see a great light. A light which makes us reflect on this mystery: the mystery of walking and seeing.
Walking. This verb makes us reflect on the course of history, that long journey which is the history of salvation, starting with Abraham, our father in faith, whom the Lord called one day to set out, to go forth from his country towards the land which he would show him. From that time on, our identity as believers has been that of a people making its pilgrim way towards the promised land. This history has always been accompanied by the Lord! He is ever faithful to his covenant and to his promises. “God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all” (1 Jn 1:5). Yet on the part of the people there are times of both light and darkness, fidelity and infidelity, obedience, and rebellion; times of being a pilgrim people and times of being a people adrift.
In our personal history too, there are both bright and dark moments, lights and shadows. If we love God and our brothers and sisters, we walk in the light; but if our heart is closed, if we are dominated by pride, deceit, self-seeking, then darkness falls within us and around us. “Whoever hates his brother – writes the Apostle John – is in the darkness; he walks in the darkness, and does not know the way to go, because the darkness has blinded his eyes” (1 Jn 2:11).
On this night, like a burst of brilliant light, there rings out the proclamation of the Apostle: “God's grace has been revealed, and it has made salvation possible for the whole human race” (Tit 2:11).
The grace which was revealed in our world is Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary, true man and true God. He has entered our history; he has shared our journey. He came to free us from darkness and to grant us light. In him was revealed the grace, the mercy, and the tender love of the Father: Jesus is Love incarnate. He is not simply a teacher of wisdom, he is not an ideal for which we strive while knowing that we are hopelessly distant from it. He is the meaning of life and history, who has pitched his tent in our midst.
The shepherds were the first to see this “tent”, to receive the news of Jesus’ birth. They were the first because they were among the last, the outcast. And they were the first because they were awake, keeping watch in the night, guarding their flocks. Together with them, let us pause before the Child, let us pause in silence. Together with them, let us thank the Lord for having given Jesus to us, and with them let us raise from the depths of our hearts the praises of his fidelity: We bless you, Lord God most high, who lowered yourself for our sake. You are immense, and you made yourself small; you are rich and you made yourself poor; you are all powerful and you made yourself vulnerable.
On this night let us share the joy of the Gospel: God loves us, he so loves us that he gave us his Son to be our brother, to be light in our darkness. To us the Lord repeats: “Do not be afraid!” (Lk 2:10). And I too repeat: Do not be afraid! Our Father is patient, he loves us, he gives us Jesus to guide us on the way which leads to the promised land. Jesus is the light who brightens the darkness. He is our peace. Amen.

The scandal at the Vatican bank

Cardinals at the Vatican conclave to elect the new pope in March
On June 28 this year, Italian police arrested a silver-haired priest, Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, in Rome. The cleric, nicknamed Monsignor Cinquecento after the €500 bills he habitually carried around with him, was charged with fraud and corruption, together with a former secret service agent and a ­financial broker. All three were suspected of attempting to smuggle €20m by private plane across the border from Switzerland.
Prosecutors alleged that the priest, a former banker, was using the Institute for Religious Works – the formal name for the Vatican’s bank – to move money for businessmen based in the Naples region, widely regarded in Italy as a haven of organised crime. Worse still, Scarano (who, together with the other men, has denied any wrongdoing) had until only a month earlier been head of the accounting department at the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, the treasury of the Vatican.

The arrest, and the headlines that screamed across the Italian press, was the latest shock for the Holy See. The year had already witnessed an emotional upheaval in the church with the resignation in February of the aged Pope Benedict XVI – the first time in 700 years a pope had stepped down voluntarily. But this new crisis demanded cold, hard resolve. For regulators and politicians in Europe who had pushed for change in the Vatican’s scandal-plagued bank over the previous four years – from the Bank of Italy under Mario Draghi to officials in Mario Monti’s government and in Brussels – it served as evidence of their concerns. Those worries also jolted a number of international financiers determined to press for reform.
In early July, Peter Sutherland, non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International and the former attorney-general of Ireland, flew into Vatican City. His mission – although described by some insiders as simply a “bit part” in the wider drive for change – was an illuminating one. Sutherland, a practising Catholic and an unpaid consultant to the Vatican’s treasury, had been asked by reformers in the church to speak with the council of cardinals, the most senior advisers to the pope. His message to the men who filed into a room near Doma Santa Marta, the plain-fronted residence of Pope Francis, was respectful but direct.
The banker, who declined to comment for this story, added his voice to the many in and outside the church asking the world’s smallest city-state to change its ways. “Transparency is important and necessary,” Sutherland said, according to two people who were informed of proceedings in the closed-door meeting.

CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS

 


P.O. Box 38
Honolulu, HI 96810
Mr. Cary M. Okawa, C.P.A.Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
2500 Pacific Tower
1001 Bishop Street
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813-3668
SUBJECT: P&C Insurance Company, Inc. - Annual Financial Report
Dear Mr. Okawa:
This is to provide further information regarding issues discussed in my meeting with you and Mr. Dennis Tsuhakoin my office on October 18, 1996, regarding P&C Insurance Company’s (P&C) annual financial report.
As you will recall, we discussed my concerns with respect to “arms-length” issues between Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate (KSBE) and P&C, as they related to what I believed were efforts to direct and control the operations of P&C by my superior, Nathan Aipa, Esq., by Louanne Kam, Esq. and by Henry H. Peters, who is aTrustee of Bishop Estate, as well as Chairman of the Board of Directors for P&C.
As examples, we discussed the blocking of my efforts to have P&C write the blanket property insurance program with reinsurance provided through the Hobbs Group, rather than by Marsh & McLennan, Inc. Also, I commented on what I considered to be excessive fees being charged by Marsh & McLennan, Inc. (MMI), and their failure to provide a satisfactory explanation for the services included in their flat fee of $200,000.
Finally, I related to you and Mr. Tsuhako my concerns regarding attempts being made by individuals at KSBE to direct and control the settlement of P&C’s claims. In addition to the example we discussed, I have recently received a copy of the attached memo from Rocco Sansone dated 11/7/96, regarding a proposed “Consent to Settle (P&C Insurance)” endorsement.
This memo addressed to Louanne Kam, Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate, states: “The following proposed endorsement is submitted per our discussions and negotiations with Am-Re. This endorsement provides KSBE with the option of controlling the settlement process subject to the indicated agreements. Based on our discussions, we recommend KSBE accept the proposed wording. Please advise if there are any questions and with your approval to add the endorsement.”
This “Consent to Settle Clause” would, in effect, take the control of claims settlements away from P&C’s independent adjuster and turn it over to KSBE. P&C and KSBE would also be exposed to uninsured and unlimited payments of claims due to the condition, “If, however, the Insured shall refuse to consent to any settlement recommended by the Company and acceptable to the claimant and shall elect to contest or continue any proceedings in connection with such claim, the Company’s liability for the claim shall not exceed the amount for which the claim could have been settled plus expenses up to the date of such refusal.”
This recommendation by MMI is, in my opinion, highly unusual and one which could result in significant financial loss to P&C and KSBE. The enclosed documents (some written before our meeting and others afterwards) will provide further examples of what I consider to be improper and deceptive business practices by Marsh & McLennan, Inc. and M&M Insurance Management Services, Inc.
It is due to the fact that these issues have not been resolved, that I am declining to sign my concurrence to P&C’s Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year 1995-96.
Thank you very much for your understanding and concern.
Very truly yours,
President
