Opus Dei To Hunt Down Vatican Whistle-Blowers
First time accepted submitter Aguazul2 writes "In a familiar story relocated into the bizarre world of the Vatican, a whistle-blower who brought to light excessive overpayments on contracts to friendly suppliers was sent to the USA as punishment, and further sources of leaks are now being hunted down by a crack team headed by an 82-year old Opus Dei cardinal. It's just like Wikileaks, only with parchment and quills — probably."
Most of the Catholic-church-secret-agent ones are pretty fun to watch...
Physics is nothing like religion. If it was, we'd have an easier time trying to raise money!
I suspect the Vatican's definition of crack team coincides nicely with Jerry Sandusky's.
This is the penguin from Bloom County, right?
When did he become a cardinal???? Last time I heard he was still with Bill the Cat in the band Deathtongue!!!!
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
Never would have thought having a reputation as a whistle blower in the Catholic church would have been a career killer. Matter of fact I would have thought it would result some serious upward mobility.

This will be the Italian Inquisition. We should expect it to be much like the Spanish Inquisition, but instead of burning books there will be zapping Blackberries and iPads with staff weapons.
Oh, the humor will be different, too. Less wry; more pratfalls.
