Last April, the public prosecutor’s office of Naples revealed a series of thefts showing “irregularities”. The victims quickly made it possible to make a link with the case of sexual violence committed by Franciscan monks.

The two robbery victims had the additional misfortune of being punished for sexual violence, carried out by Franciscan monks. The latter, to hide the evidence, wanted to fight the victims by only stealing their mobile phones. One of the two romances would eventually be stolen, allowing investigators to match the victim’s evidence.

Two Italian priests were arrested on August 1, according to AFP information, after the robberies they committed allowed them to remain in the open. The Franciscan friars will have to remove evidence of sexual violence they committed against two men who worked in their institutions. This would have made it possible to trace the string of multiple attacks carried out “between several monasteries including the Basilica of Sant’Antonio d’Afragola”, the town where the two victims live.

In secret, the priests used to get sex from the victims by promising them food, clothes, or even work. The monks even asked them to find “other boys”. They testify by admitting that they have met religious people through a dating site. The first step is an awesome spiral that can have a terrible effect today.

Listening to the telephone exchanges makes it possible to understand that the robbery was organized to destroy the phones “containing images and discussions that are embarrassing to say the least and which is possible to create the a serious problem for certain monasteries of monasteries”. Far from being isolated cases, this would be a more general problem which could be revealed through the work of researchers. Priest Afragola was the first suspect to be behind the robbery. After him, four other people were arrested according to prosecutors. In response, the Archbishop of Naples decided to suspend the priest through a publication published immediately.

The response that is intended to come very quickly after the reactions showing the gaps within the Church. The leading man, the new scandal surrounding Abbé Pierre seems to open the way to freedom of speech over the silence that has been established until now.
