The Lawful Tale Of The Ecclesiastical Toothpick

Detroit is going to be so much fun!
31 U.S.C. § 3808(c).
If at any time during the course of proceedings brought pursuant to this chapter the authority head receives or discovers any specific information regarding bribery, gratuities, conflict of interest, or other corruption or similar activity in relation to a false claim or statement, the authority head shall immediately report such information to the Attorney General, and in the case of an authority in which an Office of Inspector General is established by the Inspector General Act of 1978 or by any other Federal law, to the Inspector General of that authority. 
This is the backstory to the ecclesiastical toothpick, a special delight for "the chosen ones who have read my letters of theurgy".

This is a story about frauds, told through the law of chattels in the annals of history.

If you do not understand, then you did not know about the dream of the rood.
The rood is the vehicle of the qui tam to enter heaven
to bear witness to the truth.

ANONYMOUS POEMS OF THE CYNEWULFIAN SCHOOL

THE DREAM OF THE ROOD, 8th century

Lo, I shall tell you the truest of visions, 
A dream that I dreamt in the dead of night  
While people reposed in peaceful sleep. 
I seemed to see the sacred tree

Lifted on high in a halo of light, 
The brightest of beams; that beacon was wholly Gorgeous with gold;
glorious gems stood Fair at the foot; and five were assembled, 
At the crossing of the arms. 

The angels of God looked on, 
Fair through the firmament. 
It was truly no foul sinner’s cross, 
For beholding his sufferings were the holy spirits, 
The men of the earth and all of creation. 

Wondrous was that victory-wood, and I wounded and stained 
With sorrows and sins. 
I saw the tree of glory
Blessed and bright in brilliant adornments, 
 Made joyous with jewels. 

Gems on all sides
Full rarely enriched the rood of the Savior. 

Through the sight of that cross I came to perceive 
Its stiff struggle of old, when it started first
To bleed on the right side. 

I was broken and cast down with sorrow; 
The fair sight inspired me with fear. 

Before me the moving beacon  
Changed its clothing and color. 

At times it was covered with blood  
Fearful and grimy with gore. At times with gold ’twas adorned. 

Then I lay and looked for a long time 
And saw the Savior’s sorrowful tree 
Until I heard it lift high its voice. 

 The worthiest of the wood-race formed words and spoke: 
“It was ages ago —I shall always remember— 
When first I was felled at the forest’s edge,  
My strong trunk stricken. 

Then strange enemies took me 
And fashioned my frame to a cross; and their felons I raised on high. 

On their backs and shoulders they bore me to the brow of the lofty hill.
There the hated ones solidly set me. 

I saw there the Lord of Mankind 
 Struggling forward with courage to climb my sturdy trunk. 

I dared not then oppose the purpose of the Lord, 
So I bent not nor broke when there burst forth a trembling 
From the ends of the earth. 

Easily might I 
Destroy the murderers, but I stood unmoved.  

“The Young Hero unclothed him —it was the holy God— 
Strong and steadfast; he stepped to the high gallows, 
Not fearing the look of the fiends, and there he freed mankind. 

At his blessed embrace I trembled, but bow to the earth I dared not, 
Or forward to fall to the ground, but fast and true I endured. 

As a rood I was raised up; a royal King I bore, 
The Lord of heavenly legions. 

I allowed myself never to bend. 
Dark nails through me they drove; so that dastardly scars are upon me, 
Wounds wide open; but not one of them dared I to harm. 

They cursed and reviled us together. 
I was covered all over with blood, 
That flowed from the Savior’s side when his soul had left the flesh. 

Sorrowful the sights I have seen on that hill, Grim-visaged grief: the God of mankind I saw 
And his frightful death. 

The forces of darkness 
Covered with clouds the corpse of the Lord, 
The shining radiance; the shadows darkened
Under the cover of clouds. 

Creation all wept, The king’s fall bewailed. 

Christ was on the rood. 

Finally from afar came faithful comrades 
To the Savior’s side, and I saw it all. 

Bitter the grief that I bore, but I bowed me low to their hands; 
My travail was grievous and sore. 

They took then God Almighty,
From loathsome torment they lifted him. 

The warriors left me deserted,  
To stand stained with blood. I was stricken and wounded with nails. 

Limb-weary they laid him there, and at their Lord’s head they stood. 
They beheld there the Ruler of heaven; and they halted a while to rest, 

Tired after the terrible struggle.

A tomb then they began to make,  
His friends in sight of his foes. 

Of the fairest of stone they built it,  
And set their Savior upon it. 

A sorrowful dirge they chanted, Lamented their Master at evening, when they made their journey home, 

Tired from their loved Lord’s side. 
And they left him with the guard. 

We crosses stood there streaming with blood, 
And waited long after the wailing ceased 
Of the brave company. 

The body grew cold, 
The most precious of corpses. 

Then they pulled us down, All to the earth —an awful fate! 

They buried us low in a pit. 
But the loved disciples of Christ, 
His faithful friends made search and found me and brought me to light, 
And gorgeously decked me with gold and with silver. 

“Now mayst thou learn, my beloved friend, 
That the work of the wicked I have worthily borne, 
The most trying of torments. 

The time is now come 
When through the wide world I am worshipped and honored, 
That all manner of men, and the mighty creation, 
Hold sacred this sign. 

On me the Son of God Death-pangs endured. 
Hence, dauntless in glory, 
I rise high under heaven, and hold out salvation 
To each and to all who have awe in my presence. 

“Long ago I was the greatest and most grievous of torments,  
Most painful of punishments, till I pointed aright 
The road of life for the race of men. 

“Lo, a glory was given by the God of Creation 
To the worthless wood —by the Warden of heaven— 
Just as Mary, his mother, the maiden blessed, 
Received grace and glory from God Almighty, 
And homage and worship over other women. 

“And now I bid thee, my best of comrades, 
That thou reveal this vision to men. 
Tell them I am truly the tree of glory, 
That the Savior sorrowed and suffered upon me 
For the race of men and its many sins, 
And the ancient evil that Adam wrought. 

“He there tasted of death; but in triumph he rose, 
The Lord in his might and gave life unto men. 

Then he ascended to heaven, and hither again 
Shall the Savior descend to seek mankind 
On the day of doom, the dreaded Ruler 
Of highest heaven, with his host of angels. 

Then will he adjudge with justice and firmness 
Rewards to the worthy whose works have deserved them, 
Who loyally lived their lives on the earth. 

Then a feeling of fear shall fill every heart 
For the warning they had in the words of their Master: 
He shall demand of many where the man may be found  
To consent for the sake of his Savior to taste 
The bitter death as He did on the cross. 

They are filled with fear and few of them think 
What words they shall speak in response to Christ.  

Then no feeling of fright or fear need he have 
Who bears on his heart the brightest of tokens, 
But there shall come to the kingdom through the cross and its power 
All the souls of the saved from the sorrows of earth, 
Of the holy who hope for a home with their Lord.”  

Then I adored the cross with undaunted courage, 
With the warmest zeal, while I watched alone 
 And saw it in secret. 

My soul was eager
To depart on its path, but I have passed through many 
An hour of longing. 

Through all my life I shall seek the sight of that sacred tree 
Alone more often than all other men 
And worthily worship it. 

My will for this service  
Is steadfast and sturdy, and my strength is ever 
In the cross of Christ. 

My comrades of old, 
The friends of fortune, all far from the earth 
Have departed from the world and its pleasures and have passed to the King of Glory,  
And high in the heavens with the holy God 
Are living eternally. 

And I long for the time 
To arrive at last when the rood of the Lord, 
Which once so plainly appeared to my sight, 
Shall summon my soul from this sorrowful life,  
And bring me to that bourne where bliss is unending 
And happiness of heaven, where the holy saints 
All join in a banquet, where joy is eternal. 

May He set me where always in after time I shall dwell in glory with God’s chosen ones In delights everlasting. 

May the Lord be my friend, 
Who came to earth and of old on the cross 
Suffered and sorrowed for the sins of men. 
He broke there our bonds and bought for us life 
And a heavenly home. 

The hearts were now filled 
With blessings and bliss, which once burned with remorse. 

To the Son was his journey successful and joyful 
And crowned with triumph, when he came with his troops, 
With his gladsome guests into God’s kingdom, 
The Almighty Judge’s, and brought joy to the angels,  
And the host of the holy who in heaven before 
Dwelt in glory when their God arrived, 
The Lord Most High, at his home at last.

Trump & His Tale Of The Rood

This is so sad, yet morbidly hilarious.

These people are seriously desperately trying to come up with grounds for impeachment.

Trump is writing letters.

He has read the Tale of the Rood.

He is an original source.
I have to grade this one as an A-, only because I never give out A+, for there is always room for growth when dealing with "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending).

I truly hope it is understood that #perkinscoiesucks, 911, Watergate, Whitewater are all coming to Detroit, right?

That means they, "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) are still working on future #coloredrevolution projects.

I need to catch up.

I still have yet to do the 1619 or Debra Messing crap.

Cocktails & Popcorn: The Tale Of The Bribery Of The Michigan Attorney General Campaign - Ukrainian Hackers, Dana Nessel & MDP Legal Geniuses

The Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed graciously genuflects in the presence of Dana Nessel, for this is pure, unadulterated art.

Wherever did these gentlemen came up with the idea of buying up campaign domains, in advance, then selling them to the campaign?

I know someone else who bought up campaign domains, but I am pretty sure it was done as super secret way of just identifying the Meanies who were mean to my Sweetie because everyone was stealin'.

Back in the day, many, many moons ago, the Negro Spirituals used to contain encrypted messages of justice.

Many, many more moons ago, there was the Rood.

Hidden messages have always been contained in public speech when you are not allowed to freely speak to each other.

In the age of technology, where no one cares, one must perfect their art in order to make the heavens fall, one parked GoDaddy domain at a time.

It seems we are dealing with "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending), as it takes a keen mind to execute a bribery operation where the target was the campaign of the Michigan Attorney General.

Dana has been busy, busy, busy!

Lawsuit: Nessel campaign consultant accused of extortion

A text message photo sent by Dmitry Movsesyan in 2019 shows him driving Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, which her office said happened in 2017.
A text message photo sent by Dmitry Movsesyan in 2019 shows
him driving Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel,
which her office said happened in 2017.
Lansing — An explosive new federal lawsuit accuses a former campaign consultant for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel of attempting to extort a company that Nessel’s office is fighting over consumer complaints.

Dmitriy Movsesyan of Oakland County, who disputes the claims, allegedly cited his relationship with Nessel while offering his assistance to Executive Car Rental, intervened in the dispute without the company’s authorization and demanded $9,500 from owner Maher Waad.

In a series of texts that stretched several months, Movsesyan sent Waad a picture of Nessel in his car, boasted of his relationship with the attorney general, contacted her office purporting to represent the company and said he had discussed the business with Nessel, according to court filings.

The suit filed by Waad also accuses Movsesyan of hijacking Executive Car Rental’s Google business pages after boasting of his connection to an “underworld network” of Ukranian computer hackers, who he claimed had manipulated email accounts during the 2018 election to benefit Nessel.

Attorney general spokeswoman Kelly Rossman-McKinney called the alleged campaign email manipulation claim “horseshit” with no basis in truth. Nessel has not seen Movsesyan since she was elected or discussed with him “any matter” the Department of Attorney General is handling, she said in a subsequent statement.

“We are deeply concerned that Movsesyan apparently tried to use his brief encounters with AG Nessel to persuade Executive Car Rental that he could have any impact on the department’s investigation of the company," Rossman-McKinney said.

the inspiration of "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending)
Reached by email Friday morning, Movsesyan told The Detroit News “there is no ‘extortion’” and said Waad “refuses to pay money owed for work performed.”

“Zero of this is true, especially any involvement of the AG,” Movsesyan said, calling Waad a “crook” who is trying to “dance around the complaints his customers filed against him.”

Movsesyan said he helped Waad “restructure his company, and he didn’t pay me once I realized that I will not attempt to influence the AG office in any way. I don't have that power, nor have I seen Dana Nessel since election night.”

Attorney Steven Haney, who is representing Waad and Executive Car Rental, said Mosesyan’s claims are not true.

“The evidence speaks for itself,” Haney said, pointing to the text messages filed in federal court. “They pretty much tell the story. Outright extortion on a level I don’t know if I’ve seen in 20 years as a lawyer.”

How controversy began

Judge dismissed fraud, racketeering case against Warren business owner
https://www.macombdaily.com/news/nation-world-news/judge-
dismissed-fraud-racketeering-case-against-warren-business-
owner/article_6c59a889-5477-5891-b1bb-e8b9bb08a9aa.html
The Attorney General’s office in January accused Executive Car Rental of violating the Michigan Consumer Protection Act and misleading customers, citing more than 400 complaints against the company and allegations it had withheld or delayed return of damage deposits.

The firm agreed to a voluntary assurance agreement with the Attorney General’s office in March that required it to take certain steps, but Nessel’s office in August alleged the company violated the agreement and served it with a notice of an intended lawsuit.

“The timing of the notice of suit creates a question of fact that defendant Movsesyan was correct in characterizing his conversation with Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel,” Waad’s attorney claims in the suit.

Movsesyan worked for Nessel’s campaign as a contract information technology consultant in 2017 from roughly September through December and again in April 2018, Rossman-McKinney said.

“Attorney General Nessel has not seen Movsesyan since she was elected nor has the Attorney General discussed with Movsesyan any matter the Department of the Attorney General is handling,” she said.

Waad founded Executive Car Rental in 2012 and now operates 16 locations in Michigan and Florida. It is one of the country’s largest independent car rental firms, according to the legal complaint, renting out more than 100,000 vehicles a year.

Movsesyan knew Waad from a past sales job, according to the suit, and texted the businessman in February. He sent a photo of himself wearing a Dana Nessel campaign T-shirt and told Waad to call him because “I may be helpful to you.”

The texts continued as Executive Car Rental attempted to resolve the consumer complaint dispute with the Attorney General’s office. In May, Movsesyan sent Waad a picture of himself in a car with Nessel, saying “oh look, it’s your favorite attorney general in my backseat.”

While the text appeared to suggest Movsesyan was with Nessel at the time, the photo was actually taken in the fall of 2017, said Rossman-McKinney. Movsesyan had driven Nessel to an event at Grand Valley State University because he wanted to take pictures to post on campaign social media accounts he had set up, she said.

The texts continued in June, when Movsesyan told Waad he was going to see Nessel. In July, Movsesyan sent an email to Assistant Attorney General Darrin Fowler describing himself as a chief marketing officer of the car rental company.

Tale of the texts

“Just spoke with my girl,” Movsesyan told Waad in a July 16 text message. “She is excited about (Executive Car Rental’s) commitment to deliver an honorable service to the residents of our great state.”

“Now you’re stuck with me,” he told Waad.

The lawsuit contends that any contact Movsesyan had with the Attorney General’s office was “without authorization and unbeknownst” to the company.

“At no time relevant was (Movsesyan) employed in any such capacity or authorized to make representations on behalf of the company,” Haney said in the filing.

But Movsesyan allegedly felt the company owed him money and was demanding a $9,500 payment, according to the suit.

“I will consider helping you navigate through the settlement you have made with the state as soon as the invoice is paid in full,” Movsesyan said in one text. “Better hope they don’t call me to testify.”

Waad's attorney told The News that Movsesyan was doing some "very minor" social media and marketing work for the company. Waad ended up paying him $3,000 “under duress and the threat of continued economic harm to the company," the suit claims.

Executive Car Rental accuses either Movsesyan or related hackers of taking over the firm’s business pages on Google, making “disparaging responses to consumer complaints” that appear to come from the owner and directing consumers to file complaints with Nessel’s office.

“Movsesyan engaged in systematic extortion of the plaintiffs, which culminated with him alleging to enlist the hacking services of the same Ukranians he suggested were involved in manipulating email accounts during the 2018 Michigan Attorney General Election for the benefit of Dana Nessel.”

Movsesyan told The News he had hired a friend in Ukraine to build a new website for Executive Car Rental.

"He is a Wordpress website designer and (couldn't) hack his way out of a paper bag," he said. "This whole suit is a joke."

The lawsuit requests a jury trial and seeks “compensatory damages” from Movsesyan, along with an order he relinquish all control over company domains and password protected accounts.

Nancy Pelosi & Her Rogue Ass Watergate-Whitewater Crew Attempt To Cloak Gerrymandering

Image result for woman climbing ladder to heaven
"The stupid is thick and the heavens are infested
with "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending)
...on a mission", said the Celestial Goddess
of the Woodshed, with rood in hand.
Once upon a time, The Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed used to get the Saddy Face, alot, and would self-deliver her prayers unto the heavens, to stop the Meanies.

But, no one would listen.

So, the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed thought to herself, "They dwellers of the heavens are: (a) really dumb; (b) Meanies, too; or, (c) all of the above."

SCOTUS Realizes Gerrymandering Is Constitutional Stealin' The Children, Land & Votes Under The Thirteenth Amendment Exception Clause

Alas, she failed to ruleout her assumptions and decided, again, for no one would assist, to self-deliver her prayers in a side job of a higher ascension.

But, then, one day, she found the ancient mechanism to unlock the gates of the heavens, for all the be fall to be called to bear witness, in the public square, to be held accountable to the laws of the land, as a transposable prosecutorial model.

Unfortunately, Nancy and her rogue ass crew dishonored the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed, thus, are unable to utter that one word, magical incantation, to save themselves from the inevitable transfer of the cries of the people for a civil society ~ "gerrymandering", better known as stealin' the children, land & vote.

Pelosi argues Trump 'cannot be acquitted,' suggests defense team should be disbarred

"He will not be acquitted. You cannot be acquitted if you don’t have a trial. You don’t have a trial if you don’t have witnesses and documentation and all of that. Does the president know right from wrong? I don't think so.” ~ Nancy Pelosi

What Nancy is attempting to do, is to summon her rogue ass Whitewater & Watergate crew, to invoke the Second Amendment in defrocking these juridic persons to fall from the heavens to be tried upon the land, where the jurisdiction of defrocking are the States.

New York City Bar To Bar Bill Barr From The Bar For Promulgating The Trafficking Of Tiny Humans

But, what Nancy and her rogue ass crew do not understand is that there is nothing to stop the falling of the heavens, not even the invocation to #sayhisname, for it all started many, many moons ago.

Tales Of The New Crown: Good Friday Is The Day For The Prayer Of Reparations - May The Heavens Fall

Image
"MeToo", said the blashphemer.
Good Friday is the day of the Prayer of Reparations.

Reparations have nothing to do with slavery or the color of one's skin, but the heretics do not care as long as they make money.

It is part of the Second Amendment for the crime of blasphemy for those in heaven, otherwise known as the elected officials who have been improperly defrocked by lies, propaganda, in the violation of oaths of office.

The Second Amendment is the default mechanism of the First Amendment, when your voice in grievance of governance is ignored.

There is a separate set of laws for officials who have been granted the right to bear the arms of the state.

Reparations is the prayer for Jesus, Christ the King, to receive justice for the ethical crime of blasphemy, or rather propaganda in false claims, which led to his removal of office as to protect the children's trust, more readily understood as public trust, the posterity of the best interests of society, in a removal as a leader, figure head of society, by and through the voice of the people in consent, not fear, in the public record, in a court ordered death, by fraud.

Hence, the fall from the heavens, stripped of his crown, in a stained, amorial in legacy, heraldry, devoid of due process or the right to voice one's innocence.

The apostasy is when these public and private for profit and not for profit officeholders renounce the laws of the land, in ethics, or what I prefer to call stealin' the children, land & votes, by exiling the right of vote, by kicking due process off the edge of the democratic world.

Grand juries possess the right to vote, you know.

The Prayer of Reparations is for office holders, who dedicate their lives through the oath of protecting the future of a civil society by representing the people who believe in the content of character, through the transfer of their voice, in consent or grievance, in justice for all in the triggering of the Second Amendment, through courts of law, in ancient mechanisms such as the writ of quo warranto.

Reparations:

  • the act of making amends, offering expiation, or giving satisfaction for a wrong or injuries
  • something done or given as amends or satisfaction
  • the payment of damages : INDEMNIFICATION
  • specifically : compensation in money or materials payable by a defeated nation for damages to or expenditures sustained by another nation as a result of hostilities with the defeated nation —usually used in plural

This story is used to teach society about bearing false witness.

Propaganda, lies against one who holds office and was made to fall from the heavens, to the earth, to be tried by the laws of man.

This Passion Prayer is performed on Good Friday.

I performed thees acts of therugy in the art of perfection in words, my prayers to the court.

Justice is not always about getting a check.

There is higher value of settlement; love, the agape of society.

The love of man is supposed to be the land, but it is not, as the United States maintains the hierarchic laws of human property classifications, residuals of the peculiar institution.

This is the foundation of the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear the arms of the nation in heraldry, another set of ecclesiastic law.
Prayer of reparation for insults and blasphemies
O Jesus, my Savior and Redeemer, Son of the living God, behold, we kneel before Thee and offer Thee our reparation; we would make amends for all the blasphemies uttered against Thy holy name, for all the injuries done to Thee in the Blessed Sacrament, for all the irreverence shown toward Thine Immaculate Virgin Mother, for all the calumnies and slanders spoken against Thy spouse, the holy Catholic and Roman Church. O Jesus, who hast said: "If you ask the Father anything in My name, He will give it to you", we pray and beseech Thee for all our brethren who are in danger of sin; shield them from every temptation to fall away from the true faith; save those who are even now standing on the brink of the abyss; to all of them give light and knowledge of the truth, courage and strength for the conflict with evil, perseverance in faith and active charity! For this do we pray, most merciful Jesus, in Thy name, unto God the Father, with whom Thou livest and reignest in the unity of the Holy Spirit world without end. Amen

Blasphemy is what no one wants to talk about because there are certain heretics who wish to repeal ancient moral code, from the annals of history.

This moral concept of reparations is Talmudic in origin, but many fail to understand the mechanisms to engage such legal mechanisms, as these are not laws of the land, but of the heavens, or more intuitively understood as attorneys, elected officials, for and not for profit office holders who bear the arms of the state, being the United States.

When an elected official is removed from office, without due process, and dies, however shall reparations be obtained, is the sacred mystery of atonement we, as a world, have yet to address because Trump keeps obstructing justice by keeping that IG Report in his backpocket.

Perhaps, Trump will be the Easter Bunny and bring justice for all, in the form of reparations, because slavery was never abolished, it is just called modern human trafficking, but I prefer the term trafficking tiny humans, because it always starts with the children because that is how this great nation was built.

Duty of reparation
In the encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor Pope Pius XI said:
"The creature's love should be given in return for the love of the Creator, another thing follows from this at once, namely that to the same uncreated Love, if so be it has been neglected by forgetfulness or violated by offense, some sort of compensation must be rendered for the injury, and this debt is commonly called by the name of reparation".

The Archdiocese of Detroit is praying for themselves and their co-conspirators, as the U.S. administrator of the Vatican, for what they are doing through the Detroit Land Bank Authority and the bastardization of my Sweetie's legacy.

I am the Rood, the original source.

Knights of Columbus support Vatican broadcasts during Holy Week

The Knights of Columbus announce their financial support of the Vatican’s Holy Week and Easter broadcasts, and a gift to the Vatican’s Pediatric hospital.
By Fr. Benedict Mayaki, SJ

Christians around the world are preparing to celebrate the Easter Triduum amid the coronavirus pandemic. In order to help as many people as possible participate in the liturgies from the Vatican, the Knights of Columbus will provide financial support for the global broadcast of the Way of the Cross on Good Friday, and the Easter Mass on Sunday.

In a statement released on 8 April, the Knights communicate that they will underwrite the cost of broadcasting both the Good Friday Stations of the Cross on 10 April led by Pope Francis, and the Pope’s Easter Sunday Mass and Urbi et orbi blessing on 12 April. The funding will cover costs related to the satellite transmission of these events.

On 27 March, the Knights of Columbus sponsored the broadcast of Pope Francis’ extraordinary Moment of Prayer and Urbi et orbi blessing (to the city of Rome and the rest of the world) which took place in St. Peter’s Square.

Donation to hospital
In a separate initiative, the Knights are donating $100,000 to the Vatican’s Bambino Gesù pediatric hospital in Rome. This donation will be used to transform a space in the hospital’s neonatology department into a treatment room for infants and newborns who are infected with the Covid-19 virus.

The unit will be named after the founder of the Knights of Columbus, the Venerable Servant of God Father Michael J. McGivney. It will feature ventilators and other specialized equipment associated with the treatment of coronavirus’ respiratory symptoms.

Timely support
The Supreme Knight, Carl Anderson, noted that “these projects are particularly timely given the global pandemic…With so many in Italy and around the world currently homebound, our support of Vatican broadcasts will allow our Holy Father to join in prayer with Catholics from every corner of the globe during this critical time.”

The Knights of Columbus have worked in Rome at the request of the Popes for 100 years. “Our support of Bambino Gesù hospital continues that tradition of service,” the Supreme Knight said.

The Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus were founded by the Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney in Connecticut, USA in 1882. The organization established its presence in Rome in 1920 at the invitation of Pope Benedict XV. The Knights have been supporters of the telecommunications efforts of the Vatican. In 1965, the organization funded a shortwave transmitter for Vatican Radio. They have also sponsored Vatican satellite broadcasts since 1977.
