The Italian 007’s got a Papal warning.
Whether or not you agree with Pope Leo XIV in the multiple statements he has issued lately, one thing seems certain: he deals more and more in issues outside the scope of his mission as Pontifex.
Leo meddles in US immigration policies – with the usual leftist slant; he urges Donald J. Trump not to depose Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro by force – but only smother him with economic sanctions; and now he chastises the Italian secret service agents.
Yes, you read it right.
Maybe, like me, you wonder why Leo doesn’t take care of spiritual welfare of the Christendom, instead of going around ‘blessing the ice’ for Global Warming Cultists, and ‘thrashing ICE’ with the demented pro-immigration mob.
Leo met Friday (12) with officers from Italian intelligence services – and ‘warned them not to use confidential information for blackmailing or other nefarious purposes’.

ABC News reported:
“Leo urged the 007s, as the Italian agents are popularly known, to do their work professionally and ethically, always respecting the human dignity of those caught up in their investigations.
The audience was unusual, believed to be a first between a pope and Italy’s intelligence services, which are celebrating their centennial this year. Italy’s secret agents work closely with Vatican law enforcement, particularly during this Holy Year when some 30 million pilgrims have flocked to Rome to visit the Vatican.”
Pope Leo XIV urged spy agencies around the world not to use confidential information as a weapon including against the Catholic Church.

Leo thanked the agents for their vital but made a point of reminding them of the limits of their authority.
“He said they must remain ‘vigilant to ensure that confidential information is not used to intimidate, manipulate, blackmail, or discredit politicians, journalists, or other actors in civil society’.
He didn’t elaborate. But a year ago, the Vatican opened a criminal investigation into the alleged leak of information about its ‘trial of the century’ probe into a London property investment. The leak emerged during a separate Italian investigation into the actions of an Italian financial police official who is accused of abusively accessing a national police database and providing information about politicians, businessmen and other figures, to journalists.”
Pope Leo XIV on Friday called on intelligence agencies worldwide to refrain from weaponizing confidential information, warning against using secrets to target the Catholic Church.
