Hooray! Georgie going to cleanup the Vatican!!

[enterprise2]

Like the scene in 'Taken', 'Good Luck!!' He's going to need it!!


SINGAPORE: Former Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo has been appointed to a special Vatican commission set up by Pope Francis.

The move is part of efforts by Pope Francis to reform the Holy See and help it move on from a series of scandals and allegations of corruption that made the news under his predecessor Benedict XVI’s reign.

When contacted by 938LIVE, Mr Yeo said it "is too early to comment" on the appointment but he acknowledged it is "a heavy responsibility".

The commission comprises seven international lay experts and one cleric.

Other than Mr Yeo, the other lay experts in the commission are from Spain, Germany, Italy, Malta and France.

In a move which reflects on the extensiveness and depth of the commission’s task, Pope Francis has ordered all Vatican departments to collaborate with the commission and bypass usual rules that oblige officials to respect the secrecy of their office.

The commission will report directly to the pope.

The setting up of the commission was announced in a Vatican news release on Friday.

[The_Hypocrite]

I doubt GY is competent enough to do any good. What was his achievements when he was a ministar? And he is as corrupt and dictatorial as any 3rd world country dictator,,,appointing him as a vatican representative will only tarnish the Catholic Church more,,,,

How much vatican deposits here? Will georgie get a 3P nun confession every day and night he is there? He can play the saint.

 

[PrinceCharming]

Make George Yeo a cardinal lah!

And be given a concurrent appointment as Director of the Institute for Religious Works (a.k.a. the scandal-ridden Vatican Bank).

 

[PrinceCharming]

oops, on second thoughts, Crocodile Lim should be given the appointment of Director of Vatican Bank. It suits him becos whenever there is a scandal rocking the bank, he just need to shed a few crocodile tears and his sins/trespasses will be absolved.

Croco Lim is the soon-to-be chairman of Temasick, isn't he?

Sour grapes...

 

[steffychun]

Will he tell the Pope:

"Remember your place in society before you engage in political debate... Debate cannot (de)generate into a free-for-all where no distinction is made between the senior and junior party... You must make distinctions - What is high, what is low, what is above, what is below, and then within this, we can have a debate, we can have a discussion... people should not take on those in authority as 'equals'."

 

[Satyr]

Make George Yeo a cardinal lah!

Technically he can be made Pope. You need to be a cardinal to vote but nothing says that they have to elect another cardinal. The basic qualification is a Catholic male. Don't pray pray.

Very few in the opposition will agree with you on this one. He is one of the rare talents in the Cabinet.
