[…] reporter’, either. Papa! Kevin Koogan e-mailed me about the new Pope, Ratzinger, quoting the New York Times to the effect that Ratzinger had been brought to the Vatican Council at the age of 35 by Cardinal Joseph Frings of Cologne.

[…] was the chief post-war theorist of Nazism in Latin America, Peron’s friend, Johannes von Leers, a wanted war criminal who, like Rudel, had escaped to Argentina with Vatican help.

[…] had been one. (76) Originally arriving in Latin America thanks to networks like Die Spinne with the collaboration of such eminences as Gustav Frupp von Bohlen and Vatican titular Bishop Alois Hudal, a few of these in situ anti-Communist ‘assets’ turned to narcotics and gun running.

[…] hadn’t heard from the firm about its decision on New Unhappy Lords. 25 Joseph Serpico, a devout Catholic and former Marine, headed OMNI, which published books denouncing Vatican II (such as The Plot Against the Church) and tracts such as a pamphlet denouncing British Israel.
