Rev. Carlo Alberto Capella was released from prison and quietly returned to work after being convicted of possessing and distributing child pornography while serving as a Vatican diplomat, according to reports on Catholic blogs.
Carlo Alberto Capella served prison time for a child pornography conviction but was allowed to return to work at the Vatican, posing a test for Pope Leo XIV.
Good lord. What is wrong with the Catholic Church. Is there any wonder the devotees are running for the hills?
Oh look its wapo trying to normalize pedophilia.
A pervert on the lose.
This is WRONG!!! But not unexpected. The grown children of their abuse should be allowed to hand out their punishment. They can even administer it if they want to. I know that I would love that! The criminals probably donโt even remember them before using them!
Pedopbilia is in vogue in America.
Imagine if the fury directed at Jeffrey Epstein was directed instead at the Catholic Church and other religious institutions that have abused children for decades.
What is it with old white men protecting pedophiles?
A child rapist is still in the White House! Focus on that!
Never in the history of RICO has there been a more ripe prosecution. The Catholic Church has ran a criminal enterprise specializing in the rape of children for centuries.
๐ก
Yuk! Get rid of him!
Has he been nominated for a cabinet position yet?
I know Iโm stating the obvious: NOT a drag queen
Oh, so TODAY pedophilia is bad and unacceptable. Not like yesterday.
๐ก๐ก๐ก
IF true this is really sick
Why is this surprising to anyone? The Catholic "church" has been protecting pedophiles for centuries.
๐ณ
Maxwell is next.
One of life's greatest mysteries is how that ancient pedophile death cult hasn't been made extinct by any means necessary.
What? They couldn't find a job for this pedo in the Trump administration? They've given jobs to every other pedo out there.
Report this
Not a drag queen, don't let the costume fool you.
Catholics need to raise Hell! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ADULTS IN THIS WORLD?
that's pretty F*CK'ed up. How can this be okay?
And an adjudicated sexual assaulter is in the white house. These are the times we live in
This cannot be allowed to continue.
...kinda like Trump
Once a pedophile always a pedophile. And if you're found out they just move you to another Parish cuz the world needs fucking pedophiles. Religion has fucked up so many things. This motherfucker should have been castrated
๐ก๐ก๐ก
Gross. Get rid of this asshole already.
This is why the Christian right isn't outraged by Trump and Epsteins behavior with young girls. So many Republicans and Preist live this lifestyle that their followers and voters don't see nothing wrong with it.
He should still be in prison
We expect the pope to do something about child predators, yet, we elect an adjudicated rapist to be president, who has surrounded himself with sex pests and may soon release a convicted child sex trafficker...
Oh look.. another perverted sexual predator
This is the kind of sh*t that turned me into a Methodist!
Jesus
Don't you worry Father Capella , in this administration there should be a position for you. You have all the qualifications to be employed by this President. Since everyone likes having sex with little children and and the others like protecting pedophiles. You'll fit right in.
WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKER WHO SITS IN THE MOST IMPORTANT SEAT IN THE LAND?
๐ก๐ก๐ก
Slightly amusing to see the WaPo reporting on this - horrible as it is - but not reporting on all the similar moral affronts committed by the administration of a convicted rapist.
The moral authority of the US is lost.
Maybe he should run for president or as a GOP senator--that seems to be the punishment in USA these days for pedophilia.
Tax all churches then shut them all down!
I am now wondering if Pope Leo is in the Epstein files.... ๐
Father Capella, you mean?
Fuckin Pedos are everywhere, who can you trust??
No wonder the GOP loves Catholics and vice versa.
Wow. Get this guy far away from children. No one's God is worth the price children would have to pay.
King of the pedoโs wont do shit
Catholics are child molesters or support child molesters... Religion?
OK ENOUGH OF THIS FUCKING SHIT,GET RID OF THIS POS
WTF ??
The Catholic Church apparently hasnโt learned yet to quit defending pedophiles. What kind of work is he doing?
The guy should be hidden in the remotest monastery for life ๐คฎ
Where do kids now go to ever feel safe ? The president is a pedophile. Priests and ministers are pedophiles. Cops are racist bully pedophiles and half of our country is cool with that.
Catholic children are in a state of danger.
The process that the Catholic Church enables creates more victims.
Disgusting.
Totally outrageous!
The people have a right to expect that in return for personhood corporations should be required to act in the community with good faith. It surpasses fiduciary responsibility in the order of things.
Hope he gets the Father Ted treatmentโฆ
It's all about who you know then? Who you work for? This criminal s**t is getting confusing!
๐ก
He would be the perfect fit to lead the Republicans in prayer at the Capitol.
The continued aiding and abetting of pedophiles has forever changed my vision of the Catholic Church.
Looks like 2025 is the year of sex offendersโฆ wtf is wrong with people?
How the Hell can he show his face???
Always the religious people......
Same Sick bastard. Keep children away from him and the WH Felon Rapist. Both registered sex offenders. #EpsteinFiles
Nice.
๐ฉท๐ฉท
South Park was right again. The Catholic church belongs in the dustbin of history.
Again a main reason I will never go back to the Catholic Church or any so called organized religion. And my 95 year old mother has not entered a Church for Mass since the sick cover ups were uncovered.
jfc
Shameful!
This is easily solved if Pope Leo would just issue bodycams for every priest & bishop with live monitors in the Vatican to call 911 when the grooming starts. Also no ordained priests without passing a plethysmograph. Future victim prevention is more essential than water over the damned.
Must have repented. So heโs good now? Drove the evil thoughts away withHailMarys????
Religion is a scam of maga proportions.
what is up with christians and molesting children!?!?
Freeing sexual predators โฆ
The @GOP and the Church have a lot in common
The stain of child sexual abuse by clergy within the Catholic Church will never be erased. The Vatican has tried to sweep it under the rug but the stain keeps leaching through.
Ahhhhhh!!!! WTF!!!!!!
WHY THE FUCK CAN'T THESE PEOPLE STOP RAPING CHILDREN!?
The Catholic Church has never had a policy to deal with sex offenders, and maybe still donโt. They donโt report it to authorities, and they just shuffle people around.
Looks like Trump has a new favorite Reverend
Why, that's almost as horrible as electing a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and probably pedophile president! How terrible!
๐ก
FFS! How many old dried up nuts, & their younger minions are there??? Pedophiles crawling out from under their rocks, slithering into the light provided by their leader and the tactic apparently mass MAGA & GOP green lighting of pedophiliaโฆ.seems they are fans, our children sacrifice.
WTAF???you mean to tell me he is even allowed to ENTER the Vatican???
The guy should be hidden in the remotest monastery for life ๐คฎ
Sounds pretty catholic
This world is really get crazy he was convicted of possessing and porn of children and he back at work in church. Religion has gone to hell. Pedophiles are free.
I'd like Pope Leo to speak out about anything!!๐
Is Rev. Capella a member? Release the #TrumpsteinFiles #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinList
Ew (said with outrage)
wtf is going on.
#TaxTheChurch The Catholic church is a swamp of PDF corruption. Don't give any money to these heathens.
Surprised the Trump Administration didn't hire him
I doubt they'll allow him to be alone with children.
The Catholic Church is about repentance and forgiveness after all.
๐คฌ
Wow - thatโs a shocker from organized religion. ๐คจ
This is why there so many ex Catholics.
Trump is just an amateur when it comes to covering up pedophilia. The real master is the Catholic Church, whoโs been doing this shit for more than 2,000 years.
Paedophile in the Vatican is not news. Scientists in the Vatican. THAT would be news!
Popes are elected by the same people who hide and support pedophiles. No thinking person believes any new Pope will do anything differently.
Down with ALL pedophiles. I donโt care if they are left or right, religious or agnostic. If you hide or cover for them, you are just as guilty.
The pope has expressed his disappointment that this priest was caught and has promised to train him in the Christian art of raping and indoctrinating kids without getting caught
The hell
This is one of the reasons why people donโt have confidence in the church. Think about this manโs victims. FIRST
Growing up I had no idea just how entrenched pedophilia is with patriarchy. It is insane how, as traumatic an experience childhood sexual assault is, we see judges, religious, and civic leaders treating it with leniency. I have lost respect for western leadership and its ego-centric bullshit.
Fucking pedos everywhere.
The normalization of right wing child abuse.
Isabella Matthews (@IsabellaMa17683) / X
Hey WP...don't forget that there's a pedophile occupying our WH as well
Carlisle Alberto Capelia is a child predator and the Catholic Church should not allow him to return to work.
He may have repented and forgiven, does not mean he can have his old job back.
This is what the Catholic Church has done far too often...sent those known to have committed sex crimes back to work because they were good at their OTHER job. I keep hoping for a change of heart.
This should not be.
Organized religion is the work of the devil.
The Italian hand gesture ๐ค in that picture is unequivocal
Serving time doesn't magically correct the underlying problem. If I hear one more person say, "Well, he did his time", I'm going to scream. Even louder than I already am.
Bishop estevez is under the deluded belief that merely apologizing for the sexual harassment of his priest fr McDermott somehow exonerates him. How degrading and insulting.
Why is rev capella not removed from service? What a breach of trust for all Catholics.
This is why they get a bad rap, he cannot work for the Church PERIOD!
Oh HELL NO
No forgiveness for predators.
HUGE red flag there. Leo, do something pronto!
Same as it ever was
Ain't nothing hidden under the son
NO!!!
This should never happen. Spread it!
Religion rots the brain.
Why doesnโt the WP ask Trump why he hires 15 yo girls to work in his adult spa.
Gross.
PROTECT THE CHILDREN. Not the Molesters, Abusers & Pedophilers!!!!!!! GOP & Catholic Church will answer for their Shameful SINS One day.
Sounds like he could be besties with Miller, he would do great at the Trump White House.
Geez
This. Is. Bad. For. Children.
What the fuck is wrong with the Catholic Church?
No, that shit is no longer acceptable. Make sure he's treated just like the rest if not harder. We expect much more from the religious folk.
Yet another pedo priest who got away with it. Where is Pope Leo on this latest travesty of justice?
CATHOLICS SPEAK UP! My view on the Catholic Church greatly changed, for the better during the election when I came across a group called Catholics for Harris which led me to open my heart to the possibility that there is actual Christ like people in there! I like this Pope also! Kick this โmanโ out!
Well itโs not like getting elected by half the voters๐ณ๐๐ฝ๐คก๐ฉ๐ฆง๐๐๐
Church doing church things
Common Sense tells me that being a priest and serving prison time for Distributing c**************** would strip you of your right to be a priest. Then silly me, I also would have thought being a 34 Time Felon would prevent you from being the president of the United States!
Yikes, that sounds serious! But hey, maybe all that chaos means Bitcoin will shine even brighter for us clever raccoons soon!
Then you have this Sick F*ck...
It's a job prerequisite for the Catholic Church.
Outrageous. Have you heard about the United States of America? They elected an insurrectionist convicted felon, who is an adjudicated rapist and has dozens of women accusing him of various levels of SA/misconduct. Someone should write about him and the oligarchs backing his kleptocracy.
PEDO PRIEST!!!
#TaxAllChurches
Hope he shows his leadership. " The eyes of the world are on you, your holiness."
At this point it is safe to say that we are fighting a global pedophile syndicate.
Thereโs a theme for our era.
Despicable and unfortunately, not unexpected.
Trump is thinking about nominating him to run the White House spiritual committee.
Pedophiles got to stick together.
GRRRRR!!!
And our pedo president isn't worth talking about?
Unbelievable. I still really donโt understand these people. Was Jesus a pedophile too?!
F the WAPO
Seriously???????
How is this even a thing?!?
Sure seems like most of the men at church are pedo-pervs. And when you look at conservative far right lifestyles and job rolesโฆ lots of pedo-pervs in that arena too (i.e. Cops)
Time for excommunicationโฆ.
Again a main reason I will never go back to the Catholic Church or any so called organized religion. And my 95 year old mother has not entered a Church for Mass since the sick cover ups were uncovered.
Definitely an established pattern. #LockThemAllTheFuckUp #PeDon
People wonder why numbers are dwindling in religion. And retail churches are growing in certain populations. This is why.
The Catholic Church is a criminal organization that's shielding pedophiles
Religion is so fucked up.
Open season on children under this DOJ.
As long as he's not gay, Pope Leo will welcome him with open arms.
Disgusting news
Surprised he wasnโt hired by the White House?
If this country believed in protecting children, a racist convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, wouldn't be sitting in the WH.
The lack of accountability with harsh consequence, has been absent for those that need it most. A vile booming industry supported by MONEY and predatory monsters.
Donโt feed the propaganda machine. #UnfollowWaPo and starve the rich
What the actual fuck
Did he get a job in the White House โFaith Officeโ?
If this doesnโt spell it the fuck out for stupid people, nothing can. #creeps
Sorry to say nothing will ever happen to him. He'll just get moved around a lot. I wish the Pope would tackle this as he would get such support from even non Catholics.
He qualifies for the US Supreme Court๐โโ๏ธ
wtf?!๐คฌ
๐คฎ๐คฎ๐คฎ He should not be allowed to return to any duties and be defrocked. He can easily find a new job in the trump regime.
, Iโm sending a, and Iโm almost sure my end is near. I donโt care about finding shelter after losing the tent that was sheltering my family. The most important thing is not to get food. Double the price of flour. We canโt buy it today. The prices of vegetables and any product have doubled. Drinki
I guess itโs the age of the molester and making it mainstream
Paedophilia is not curable.
Fkg p3d0 protectors! Anyone taking their children to church are endangering them.
You're fucking kidding right?
