ROME, ITALY: Italian bishops head gives Communion to notorious transsexual at Marxist priest's funeral

 

ROME, May 27, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The head of the Italian Bishops’ Conference was filmed this weekend giving Holy Communion to a notorious “transsexual” and homosexualist political activist who goes by the name Vladimir Luxuria, at the funeral Mass of a controversial Genoan priest. 

The deceased priest, Fr. Andrea Gallo (hereafter referred to as Don Gallo), strongly opposed Catholic teaching on sexuality. In the video clip, published by the national newspaper Corriere della Sera, Angelo Bagnasco, the Cardinal Archbishop of Genoa is seen giving Communion to Luxuria, and another transsexual at the funeral of Fr. Andrea Gallo. 

Three thousand flocked from all over Italy for the funeral of Don Gallo, the priest they called the “pretaccio communista” (an ironic use of “lousy communist priest”) and the “angelic anarchist”. Some participants wore t-shirts with the slogan, “Tell me who to exclude and I’ll tell you who you are”. 

Standing in front of a group of priests wearing rainbow stoles and addressing the gathered thousands, Vladimir Luxuria gave a eulogy in which he thanked Don Gallo for “letting us open the doors of your church and your heart.”

“Thank you for having us transgender creatures feel willed by God and loved by God. We hope that many will follow your example and someone will apologize.” 

Born Wladimiro Guadagno, actor and former prostitute Vladimir Luxuria (“Lust” in Latin) was a member of the Italian parliament and a founding member of the Communist Refoundation Party. Although he remains physically a male, he claims “female identity” and is famous in European politics as the first openly “transgender” member of any European national legislature. In 1994 he helped organise Italy’s first Gay Pride festival in Rome.

ITALY: Jeffrey Castelli, Ex-CIA Rome Chief, Sentenced To Jail In Imam Kidnapping Case

THE former head of the CIA in Italy has been sentenced to seven years in prison in absentia for the kidnapping of a radical imam in Milan in 2003 as part of the US "extraordinary rendition" program.

Jeff Castelli was found guilty by an appeals court in Milan along with two other Central Intelligence Agency agents, who were each given six years, Italian media reported on Friday.

The three had been acquitted at their first trial because judges recognised their diplomatic immunity but prosecutors had appealed against the verdict.

Italy's top court last year upheld guilty verdicts against 23 other CIA agents over the same incident and ordered a re-trial for five Italian ex-spies accused of taking part.

Osama Mustafa Hassan, a radical Egyptian Islamist better known as Abu Omar, was snatched in the street in an operation coordinated by the CIA and the Italian military intelligence agency SISMI. 

Abu Omar, who enjoyed political asylum in Italy at the time, was then allegedly taken to a US air base in northeast Italy, flown to a US base in Germany and on to Cairo, where he says he was tortured.

The "extraordinary rendition" program was launched by then US President George W. Bush in the wake of the 2011 attacks in the United States.
