Is This A Good Example Of How Corrupt The Vatican And Catholic Church Is?


“”Charles Francis Flynn – known in his neighborhood as simply, Charlie, is a 20th century American criminal. Charles was born in May of 1946 in Brooklyn, New York. A 6’3” man with a slim build, wavy slicked back dark brown hair and light green Irish eyes. He was first arrested at the age of 17 in 1963 for a drug arrest and continued his downward spiral from there. Flynn started working with a uncle on the west side of Manhattan and was drafted by the US Army at the age of 21 in the summer of 1967, Flynn was not pleased and considered himself “too good for the military”, Flynn, however received little pity from the Army. Flynn was sent to Vietnam by September of that same year and fought in combat during the 1968 Tet Offensive. Flynn was honorably discharged in 1969, despite superiors noting Flynn as “holding a deep disdain for authority figures”. After returning to civilian life, Flynn’s drug use became a severe issue. Flynn lived with his parents for several years and around 1977, his father found him a job with a small steel company that had it’s main office in the World Trade Center, Flynn excelled as a commodities trader. Flynn became part of the Wall Street culture “sticking with your own”, Flynn was loosely affiliated with all Irish Catholic traders, stock brokers, bankers, CEO’s, accountant and lawyers, known as the “White Collar Irish mob”. He has been described as not “incredibly intelligent but used his good looks, deceit, manipulative skills and street smarts to quickly advance in his new career” In 1982 Flynn was arrested for insider trading and served 5 months in federal prison, upon release Flynn realized he had lost his job, this greatly angered Flynn.
In 1984, at age 38, Flynn moved back in with his parents and younger sister. It was around this time Flynn created started a new firm, while the SEC was investigating him. Flynn eventually agreed to pay a fine in addition to being barred from trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1988, Flynn used several aliases, including Mark Rose.
In an attempt to use the Roman Catholic Church to discourage questions of legitimacy, Flynn founded the St. Francis of Assisi Foundation in the largely impoverished and African descent nations of the predominantly Catholic Haiti and the American Virgin Island’s, with a nominal mission of investing in insurance companies in order to fund hospitals. Among people solicited to join the Foundation board was retired CBS Evening News anchorman Walter Cronkite; when he declined to join, his name was used anyway.An official of the Roman Curia, Monsignor Emilio Colavanni, agreed to sign a letter falsely stating that the Foundation received funding from the Vatican in exchange for several million dollars for his personal use and a twenty million dollar donation to the Catholic church. Colavanni was extradited from Vatican City in November 1997, where photos of the then 65 year old being led shackled and handcuffed by well armed CIA agents went viral. Colavanni served a six year sentence in a cushy Maryland federal prison known as “Club Fed”, from September 1998 – October 2004. As of 2012 he is 78 years old and living in Italy. Colavanni gave agents critical information in exchange for a drastically reduced sentence, Washington federal prosecutors indicted Colavanni in late 1997 and planned to “throw the book at Colavanni, an important and trusted man holding one of the most high profile positions in the world.
By November 1993, Flynn’s illegal antics had caught up with him and he was under serious investigation by the FBI for defrauding the government, tax fraud, wire fraud and various other crimes. Around this time, Flynn’s long-time and devout Catholic girlfriend Cara Kelly threatened to turn him in, due to using the churches name in vain, after Flynn attempted to persuade her and she refused, Flynn brutally stabbed her at least thirty times and set his Connecticut compound on fire with her in it, attempting to destroy any paper trail.
Thanks to Colavanni Flynn was immediately apprehended fleeing Ireland for Canada. He refused to speak with government agents during interrogation. Flynn was likely to face a life sentence, the only debate was to hold him in federal or state prison. During Flynn’s arraignment, he appeared before the federal judge verbally abuse, calling the agents and judges everything from a “fat bald f***” to a “homo”. In late 1999, Flynn was found guilty on all charges. As of 2012, Flynn, now 65 years old, is currently serving a life sentence in Colorado Super-max prison in Florence.””
