5 Dirty Secrets of the Catholic Church. The Catholic church is suffering from scandal after scandal and a lot of their dirty secrets have been revealed recently, This is NOT a video about the Illuminati, this is a video about Catholicism, the Catholic church and the scandals and dirty secrets surrounding them. 5. Nazi Gold In 2000, a group of Holocaust survivors filed a lawsuit against the Vatican, alleging that The Catholic Church had funneled Nazi Gold to South America in an effort to help Nazi War Criminals avoid punishment. These allegations are based off a 1947 report written by Emerson Bigelow, a US Treasury. He alleges the Vatican briefly stored Nazi Gold before it was sent to South America. 4. Secret Asylums From the 18th century until the late 20th Century, the Catholic Church operated a secret operation known as the Magdalene Asylums. These Institutions secretly arrested female prostitutes and other women accused of sexual impurity and hauled them off to Ireland, where they performed slave labor and endured harsh conditions. In 2003 The Irish Government paid a settlement exceeding $45 Million to survivors. 3. Mafia Ties In the 1980’s, Vatican Financial Advisors were alleged to have Mafia Ties. The scandal centered on the Church’s association with the Italian Bank, Banco Ambrosiano. Paul Marcinkus, President of the Vatican Banks, and Roberto Calvi, General Manager of Banco Ambrosiano, were believed to have conspired to inflate shares, secure uninsured loans and illegally fund various political parties around the world. 2. Secret Archives Since 1612, the Vatican has housed an extensive Secret Archive that has been heavily speculated upon. Though some documents in the archives have recently been made available to the public, many feel the Secret Archives hide a dark history of the church, including possible connections between the church and Nazis and secret deals with Benito Mussolini during WWII. 1. Abuse Cover Up For years, the Catholic Church covered up numerous cases of child sexual abuse carried out by priests and nuns. In 2009, an investigation found that the Archdiocese of Boston alone secretly handled child sexual abuse cases against more than 70 priests, and in total, it is estimated that over 3,000 priests around the world have been accused of abuse in the past 50 years.
