Pedophilia happens in Savona 32 years of silence and cover-ups omissions to hide pedophile priests.

by Francesco Zanardi on Tuesday, 21 February 2012 at 11:27 Savona 21/02/12 Pedophilia: opposition to archiving for Msgr. Dante Lafranconi. It also adds a new lawsuit. At the beginning of this story, the bishop of Savona Vittorio Lupi declared "Let there be clarity" but perhaps he did not think that it took so much, perhaps too much to the liking of the Catholic Church. This is the dramatic profile that emerges from the documents of the criminal proceedings against Bishop 472/12/21. Dante Lafranconi, bishop of Savona-Noli from 1992 to 2001 to investigate crimes p. and p. Articles 110, 40 c. II, 609 bis, 609 ter, 609 quater .p. for this criminal proceeding the prosecutor's office has asked the 02/09/12 for the filing requirement. Monday 02/20/12 The Abuse Network's lawyers have filed opposition to the storage in response to a series of new investigations. Saturday, 02/18/12 a victim of the community for children "The Lantern", which had previously been heard by magistrates as TEST, without complaint he filed a notice of Informant / Lawsuit for sexual abuse continued from 1997 to 2003.Our lawyers believe that the new evidence provided to the court of inquiry was sufficient to reject the request to dismiss the new complaint instead to move the prescription period, which in this case falls within the period of the bishopric of Lafranconi. The story reconstructed from the evidence contained in the files of the prosecutor. 32 years of silence and cover-ups omissions to hide pedophile priests. A history of aiding and abetting, conspiracy of silence and omission against a pedophile priest by four bishops of the Diocese of Savona-Noli, Savona in producing victims for 32 years. In fact, the story is more than one, only two are currently in court, Don Giorgio Barbacini who led the community for children in difficulty Migrantes 1998 to 2003, convicted of pedophilia in three years and six months in 2004 and that of Donto Giraudo in which we are able to provide documentation that follows. Some of the documents were seized for the first time in Italy in the bishop's secret safe, by the magistrate of Savona, which for the first time in Italy also investigates the bishop responsible for the omission. In 1981 Don Giraudo is sent to the Parish of Spotorno in support to the two priests, John Busoni and Charles Rebagliati. The two priests claim that the then Bishop Giulio Sanguineti recommended "keep an eye on because he is a pedophile." Confirmation that the statements are true of the two priests came in a recent letter sent in response by Archbishop Luis F. Ladaria, S.I. the current Bishop Vittorio Lupi on 29 March 2010 where he wrote "I am referring to the case of Rev. In Giraudo of the clergy of his diocese, which was denounced in 1980 for child abuse and that the Vicar General in 2002 showed its tendency pedophile "(at the time the case had national visibility as Savona complain Wolves in a subsequent letter). Despite the complaint of 1980 Bishop Sanguinetti did not take any action until 1989, when now Giraudo had abused many of the kids who attended the parish of Spotorno, including the writer. On November 5, 1989 Bishop Sanguineti asks in a letter to the Director of the Pastoral Institute Corso Venezia in Milan want to accommodate Giraudo. Father Raffaele Longhi will be to deal with the psychological support of Giraudo. 1992 Sanguinetti left the Diocese of Savona-Noli to make way for Lafranconi Dante, who was aware of the situation Giraudo documented as evidenced by the documents, to pass this charge was the then Vicar General Antonio Ferri, recently ripromosso Pro Vicar. CARITAS in 1994 broke the case and having to remove the president, as director of summer camp for children Father Cocchi, Msgr. Giraudo Lafranconi decides to send to head the colony, but probably something wrong. It is thus that in 1996, Msgr.To Giraudo Lafranconi

assigns a small parish on the heights of Finale Ligure, in Orco Feglino, shortly after another fatal error, to allow you to open a community in that parish for minors in difficulty. The boys of the community claim that pedophile tendencies were well known to the bishop, who was forced to call several times Giraudo. The minutes also showed that several of the common social workers refused to entrust children to that community. In these nine years, Dante Lafranconi has never taken any action, even precaution against minors. He never wanted to listen to victims and how to declare the Theologian Giampiero Bof and Don John Lupin, has chosen the path of silence. The community will be closed in In 2003 by Domenico Calcagno after the arrest of Father Giorgio Barbacini community Migrantes, another pedophile Lafranconi which was granted to open a community for children. 2002 Msgr. Dante Lafranconi is moved to Cremona, and arrives in Savona Domenico Calcagno, appointed Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI a few days ago, February 18, 2012. After the scandal of Migrantes Calcagno wrote on 08/09/03 to the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, now Pope Benedict XVI, speaking of Giraudo "the courtesy to ask for advice on what attitude to take, meaning the priest wanted to continue with a pastoral commitment. " They spend three years, no response from Cardinal Ratzinger, in the meantime is another documented child abuse by Giraudo in the summer of 2005, during a Boy Scout camp AGESCI. The minutes of questioning on this last case shows that Giraudo had virtually no limitation in activities or attend Catholic children, despite all the previous.Also found that some camp leaders were aware of the abuse, but they never complained, confirmed only during the interrogation to be aware and have the testimony at the campsite, right by the victim. Spends nearly a year after that abuse, and Msgr. Calcagno February 22, 2006 again wrote to the Vatican, Msgr. Charles Scicluna, Promoter of Justice of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, contrary to all logic, reassures him by saying that a physician attending Giraudo, Father Raphael Longhi, who would have issued a "Declaration attesting to the positive developments of the path traveled with Don In "But unfortunately, Father Raphael dies. Calcagno continues reassuring Scicluna and asking "Many times Don has asked to inquire At this Congregation in order to obtain the overcoming of serious opinion expressed to him that to be reduced to the lay state." On March 7, 2006 Scicluna Calcagno wrote again asking for a meeting in person on April 3. Calcagno will leave the Diocese of Savona-Noli at the end of 2007 with nothing, to leave the place in January 2008 in Vittorio Lupi, present bishop. In January 2008 I am writing to Bishop Wolf informing the victim of a pedophile priest, but I do not communicate his name, I ask that the hearing will be granted in March. I go to the hearing, the bishop started saying (sound recording) "Even if she did not tell me the name, I know he wants to talk about Don Nello, here must we play cards" on the same occasion also say they have already spoken to Giraudo's family. Denounced the whole story, including what his predecessors omitted to do, but without any success.09/07/2008 The conspiratorial and seeing the attitude of the bishops that despite the inconclusive complaints and testimony did not play, I decided to report at the police headquarters in Savona. Unfortunately, the crime of 80 years is prescribed to me, Marshal informs me that the lawsuit will be filed. The documents is another letter written by me to the bishop 06/09/19 Wolves in the solicitation which measures and point qualified people, the priests who can testify to the pedophilic tendencies of Giraudo, but in fact no action by the Curia. January 2010 I am summoned by the magistrate to issue my statement as well as a series of names of victims, the judiciary opens a file. March 2010, the scandal exploded in the press and become a national case, Bishop Wolf makes several statements, said Giraudo was defrocked in the middle of 2009, which is no longer a priest, even if we find him at January 4, 2012'inside the convent of the Benedictine monks of Finalpia frequented by minors.Despite the warning of the presence of

inappropriate Giraudo inside the convent Wolves made the bishop about six months before, even in this case the bishop has implemented any precautionary measure. The letters between Wolves and Luis F.Ladaria, S.I. also belie statements regarding the demand for reduction to the lay of'm Giraudo, the document is not of 2009 but of 03/27/2010. A few days after the reply to the letter quoted at Wolves in the beginning, where Msgr. Ladaria confirms that the first complaint against Giraudo was in 1980. Later, April 16, 2010 Wolves meets Ladaria stating that before me, already Domenico Calcagno informed him of the situation, also complained about the media hype that has engulfed the Diocese of Savona-Noli. Despite years of complaints from victims, witnesses and priests, four bishops were unwilling to tackle the problem, until the judiciary has not forced them. Don Carlo Rebagliati who testified before the magistrates in support of the victims was defrocked after a complaint of incitement to prostitution, however, proved unfounded, for which application has been archived. 02/04/12 The news that Giraudo has bargained a year on probation. In statements to the press release confirms that the bishops were aware of the problem, the family was, but they have never helped. The 2.9.12 is notified of the request to dismiss the criminal case against a single bishop, Dante Lafranconi not reasoned on the merits, but in the achievement of the limitation period. On 02/18/12 another lawsuit by a victim already heard as a witness by the magistrate abused from 1997 to 2003. 02/12/19 The Network Abuse deposited filing opposition proceedings against Msgr.Dante Lafranconi, providing new objects of investigation, the lawsuit over the new victim.
