Return To Tradition — Some VERY DARK Accusations Are Coming To Light About Pope Leo In Peru. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
We have a dark story, frankly, brewing out of Peru, and it's been brewing for quite some time. Infilvata Khan has been following this story since at least the election of Robert Prevos to the papacy. And there are some weird implications here. By weird, we mean generally an unwillingness, not just a irresponsible handling of, but an unwillingness to investigate thoroughly the monster priest who had a taste for girls, we'll say. The age that he liked wasn't 21, 25. Now they were nine, thirteen, allegedly. They go to allegedly, underlined, italics, allegedly. The story's ongoing. But they were talking an unwillingness to investigate.
Future bishops who came into handle it thought it was a joke. The investigations that had been handled. We're talking here about the personal secretary to, hopefully, the 14th, who has been in Robert Prevos' orbit, if you want to call it that, since the man was 17, at least 17, at best, 17. Some reports say 15. It started out as a spiritual direction. He was always in his orbit. And this young man was in the, was, he's been described as a protégé of the monster priest. Begin to see where this is going. This is a very strange story. We're going to try to handle it as straight as possible. And we're going to give you the caveat that the story is still on development. But this also connects to an American bishop. The new archbishop, soon to be, most likely, cardinal archbishop of Denver, who had done
his part to cancel the priest who was the acting as the canon lawyer for the girls. See how this starts to get connected? A lot of you won't like that because every time I bring up the new archbishop of Denver, people say, well, he's a friend of tradition. Well, no, he's not. Just because he's tolerant of a TLM does not make him a friend of tradition. But there's a lot of dark history here, and he gets very complicated. What we're talking about here is the lute case. This is a priest, priest by the name of Elutero Vasquez Gonzales, known as Father Apadre Lute. He was a priest of the diocese of Chicleto, Peru. His exploits, if you want to call them that, predate the time that, at the time, then Bishop Robert Prevost became the ordinary there. He was formally accused of having illicit relations, we'll say, of a macaric nature, but
with emails, nine to 13 in age. Influfada Khan has been dealing with this and recovering this, and how then Bishop Robert Prevost handled the matter in 2022, and how Pope Francis protected Prevost. I'm going to go over kind of a top-down view, and we'll get to some of the articles here. At least three women, including one named Ana Maria Quispe Diaz, say that around 2005 to 2009, predating Prevost arrival in 2014, when they were nine to 13, Father Lute used his roles of priest to take these girls on isolated mission trips to remote mountain areas in Peru. They would later describe the nights they spent alone with him, where sometimes a driver would wait outside at these mission areas. The priest would just robe in front of them and would engage in, we'll call it inappropriate
contact, contact, and the word rubbing came up a lot. Some accounts of her testimony mention additional young people in that same age group beyond the three, spoken about here. Again, to be clear, the facts predate Robert Prevost arrival as Bishop, which happened in 2014. Again, 2005 to 2009 is when this happened. The women would report these activities to Prevost in April 2022. That fits into the timeline of when he was the prefect for the Dacastria of Bishops, but he did not give up his role as the Bishop of Chocleo, at least not yet. I don't think. I know there's someone from Peru watching this right now in the live chat. If I'm wrong about that detail, let me know in the comments. The Prevost of reportedly told the young women that he believed them, he apologized on
behalf of the church, encouraged them to file a civil complaint. All on paper sounds good, right? Take this to the authorities. Bishop, we're at that point. Cardinal Robert Prevost told the girls. Keep in mind, 2022. We're talking 17 years from when they began 13 years from when they were allegedly over. The civil procedures, proceedings didn't last very long at all because they were closed due to Peru's statute of limitations closing. I want to remind you that one of the things that Robert Prevost got in trouble for, this is stuff that came out immediately after he was named Pope. In fact, before that, really, if you go look at the College of Cardinals report and such, or so there's hints of this, that he mishandled cases of a Macarachan nature in Peru. The Bishop of a diocese in a post, in a post 2003 Boston report era, especially an American bishop, they're going to know what the laws are in their diocese.
The civil laws, because the church correctly, I think, to handle this problem, started being a lot more transparent with the local authorities. They kind of had to. I'm not going to give them too much credit on it, but at least they tried in some places. So they would at the very least know what these laws were. So when he told them to go to the civil authorities, what happened? Well, not much. The cases were closed almost immediately because the statute of limitations had expired. Now then Cardinal Prevost took limited precautionary measures. The transferred Lute, the priest in question, from his parish and barred him from hearing public confessions. InfoVodacana would cite the text of Prevost's 2022 April decree that was read aloud by a later case investigator. But one of the things about the decree, the measures did not include a general suspension of the priest from public ministry. Now, that's a red flag. That's a giant red flag. A priest, I have told you repeatedly, I do not like covering this entire subject matter.
At least wallets still ongoing, wallets still in new story because all you won't have to do to destroy a priest forever. The destroyer's vocation is accused him falsely of something. The secular authorities practically treat him like he's guilty without a chance to defend himself. The whole innocent ill-proven guilty and a court law think it's thrown out the window with Catholic priests. Go talk to it. If you have a good relationship with a priest beyond merely just saying hi to him and if you cordial words during holy doughnut hour after mass, if you have the ability to talk to him privately, ask him what it's like sometime. Most of them have kind of a little bit of fear they live under because they know they can be destroyed. Even if they're exonerated, investigations show it was fault. The accusations were false. They will have that cloud hang over them and everybody will look at them sideways. That's why I don't like covering these stories. This is a few years ago now and a giant red flag about this is that Lute was not suspended
from public ministry. That's weird. He could still celebrate mass. He could exercise priestly functions elsewhere. If another bishop wanted him to offer a massive retreat center, he could do so. For example. He just could not do these things in his own parish. Later official statements from Bishop Prevost, the diocese and even some biographers later claimed a broader suspension but in Favaticana investigated those and found that that was actually false that didn't actually happen. The 2022 diocesan investigation handled by Cardinal Prevost as the bishop of Chocleo and had involved another priest named Montsenor Coneo did not take formal statements from the victims at the outset. According to church officials later on when they looked into it, they barely questioned the priest accused of these things. The file was sent to the Vatican's Dicastry for the doctrine of the faith under Fernandez which archived it citing Peruvian civil law, an argument that an investigator laid called
a strange because it does not apply in Canaan law. Meaning Fernandez swept this away. Everything an ongoing civil process. Canaan law does not require that. He just used the opportunity. In April 2025, the investigator who was appointed by a Prevost successor, a Bishop Edison Farfon, met the victims and described the prior investigation as a joke, very poorly done, full of errors and a lot of superficiality with the monster priest practically not asked to sing anything, barely asked him any questions. If Avada Kana published the recordings of those statements, that victims later sought access to the full canonical file. In 2025, Father Lutte requested a dispensation from the clerical state. Leo IV granted it on September 15, 2025. The victims were told about it a few weeks later. This ended the entire canonical process against Father Lutte.
No trial, no sentence. He requested to be removed from the priesthood. He was granted that and it ended the prosecution of him. Here you have the statute of limitations for the really scary earthly investigation, the one that could lead you to jail or in a sane world far worse than jail. But then the canonical process ended too. Nothing happened to him. The victims had asked that no such dispensation be given him until a proper investigation occurred. They had asked that ahead of time. Lutte later, the father, the priest, now former priest, reappeared publicly in events, in his old diocese alongside a priest who is directly linked to the inner circle of one Pope Leo IV. This year there's a book by a provian journalist named Santiago Roncaleo. The book's translated title would be The Shepherd and the Wolves. It's written with sources for the book that are close to the Pope and the book is favorable
to him, to Leo IV. That author states that Prevost and Father Lutte were close. That Prevost was proud of Father Lutte's evangelization work, going so far as to gather testimonies from some of his missionary work tied to a local devotion. And this is where it takes a weird turn. That Leo IV's personal secretary, one Edgar Rimaqna, who had been appointed to that position, the day Leo became Pope, had been a disciple of Father Lutte. This priest will be turning 37 if my math is right, his birthday is at the end towards the end of September, and he's 36. So he should be turning 37 this year. And Father Robert Prevost was his spiritual director when he was at least 17, could be as early as 15, and has been in close proximity to him, this priest who has described as a disciple of Father Lutte, a monster priest.
To begin to see where this might be going, there have been whispers about this since practically the beginning of Prevost's papacy. And the thing about it is, no media outlet wants to handle this. Now I've described a canonical process kind of top down. This is tied to also a organization that I haven't really covered much because I came into it too late. So I had to do some extra research on it. It's called the Sodala TM. There is an organization that gets described as a far right ultra-traditionalist group in South America. I couldn't find anything about their liturgical loyalties. Are they a TLM-only group? Are they kind of an opus-day style, kind of ultra-reverent Novusordo group? Are they something else? Are they a charismatic group? Aside from the charismatic stuff, very sensible theology? I have no idea. None. I couldn't find anything on that. However, they have been the subject of a lot of controversy because they were too
traditional in their teaching, too rigid, too faracical in the words of Francis. And so mysteriously, without any evidence whatsoever, an accusation of impropriety of the kind that Father Lutte faced was leveled against them. And they were. Became the subject of the, of the iron of the Vatican. In fact, you're going to see this is a similar thing because, again, I described a canonical process. Well, that means canon lawyers were involved. And the girls, they had a canon lawyer, too, named Father Coronado. And mysteriously, and with no evidence, he got accused of the same thing that Lutte did. But unlike Father Lutte, he was not shown mercy. He was not shown understanding. He was not, his investigation was very rigid looking. And then he was dismissed from the clerical state. And then he was repressed, helping the young girls. Most outside observers looking into the Father Coronado case and the sodalateum case,
see this as retribution, that these were just fabricated accusations. So the solidateum issue, well, in Favada Kanna, who been doing all the legwork on this, framed much of the push back against, against its own reporting on Father Lutte as an attempt to dismiss the case as a solidateum campaign or a far-right smear of prevost Father Lutte and others. The organization in question is called the sodalateum kustenae vete. It was a conservative Peruvian society of apostolic life, founded by Luis Fernando Fagari. It faced long-standing accusations of impure, problem, physical, psychological, and spiritual, abuse plus financial issues. Prevost as Bishop of Choclio and later prefect for the Dacastria of Bishops, met victims, facilitated Vatican involvement, and helped advance the process that led Pope Francis to expel leaders, including Fagari and Archbishop Jose Antonio Eugerran, and formally suppressed the group in 2025. Note the timetable. At the same time, but they're hand-waving away the accusations against Lutte.
Weird how that works out. Victims of the sodalateum and journalists who investigated it have credited prevost with taking their claims seriously when others did not. Now, there may have been some issues with sodalateum. For I'm the guy who's very pro-SSPX but does not say no, the stuff that they had a few bad apples among them too, and they really need to make sure that doesn't happen again, and I'm sure they agree. I'm not one to say that didn't happen. Every organization in the church, on Earth, every single one, has been infiltrated to some degree by these problems. The devil wages were on all of them. And anything that looks like the authentic Catholic faith he goes after, and anything that could be used to describe the church. He's involved in. And so it doesn't surprise me at all. The sodalateum wasn't having its own problems. Note how the Vatican responded with lightning quickness. Took it seriously, but not Father Lutte. The movie accusations against him were very credible.
Infophotic Conor reported that a document on prevost handling of Lutte was sent to the Vatican Secretary of State in April 2025 by the organization Survivors Network of those armed by priests, or SNAP, not by the sodalateum or conservative factions. It was a sort of a watchdog, a victim's advocacy organization in the church. Infophotic Conor treats claims that the Lutte story originated as retaliation by Sola Tiam is discredited, and of course they would. It's their own reporting after all. Now other outlets though have described criticism of prevost about regarding Lutte as part of a broader campaign by those opposed to the sodalateum dissolution or to Francis Error reforms. Meaning people like me, right? People like, well I don't know anybody, oh Michael Matt may be, people in that kind of era, although I don't know if Michael Matt would ever talk about this issue, but you get the idea. People like that, right? Because there are commentators in South America who do this stuff too. Mainstream reporting organization.
We're talking AP, CNN, and LPAI. There's the international very mainstream left-leaning organizations. They portray prevost so-to-tell-amroll positively while noting that the Lutte accusations remain contested. So the mainstream media was doing cover for prevost back then. Some pieces quote victims or diocesan statements defending his 2022 actions as appropriate given the timing of the events in civil prescription. Again, this is having to do with Sola Tiam. An organization that they swept away as quickly as they possibly could. And now we go, we can talk a bit about Father Coronado. He was the cannon lawyer, a priest cannon lawyer for the girls that were harmed by Lutte. Name his father Ricardo Coronado Errorescu. He was the cannon lawyer who represented the three Lutte girls starting in May 2024. Note the date. In 2024, we're talking the year before Conclave, that elected Leo S. Pope.
By May 2024, I was in denial. I thought, on the record, I thought we'd have Francis until 2028 or 2029. I thought that he'll his every year going to the hospital thing. Yeah, it wasn't good for him, but that he bounced back. We'd have him until practically all the time table phautomotypes, who tell you, it's going to happen in 2029. I thought he'd be around to be there. Be the Pope for that. No, obviously not. I thought he'd be around longer. But by May 2024, it was pretty clear for most people who weren't trying to convince themselves otherwise that Francis wasn't going to be around much longer. I had done reporting already at that time that there were Cardinals in the Roman Curia quietly preparing for the next Conclave. So that's the time table this is happening at. Father Coronado is a former priest of the Dices of Caramarca, originally ordained in Choclayo in 1990. That's kind of important. This is because when was prevost in Peru as a priest, same around the same time?
Father Coronado has a huge background as a judicial vicar and canonist. He is a canon lawyer. The victims, the girls, had no specialized canonical counsel from the 2022 report to prevost through late 2023. In May 2024, a local civil lawyer connected them with Father Coronado. Info Vodacana reports that the girls sought him out. So there's a little bit of kind of back and forth on that particular detail. Whichever is accurate though, Father Coronado took their case, pressed for documents, a fuller investigation, and he pressed for a proper process. Again, a lot of the criticism of how prevost handled this comes from his own successor in the Dices. Another criticism of prevost 2022, handily intensified after he became involved. In August 2024, the Peruvian Episcopal Conference barred Father Coronado from acting as an ecclesiastical lawyer in ongoing cases, meaning the bishops' conference of Peru. In August 2024, a member of whom was the sitting prefect for the Dicastry of bishops.
In the Vatican. I'm sure that's a coincidence. They got him. They tried to press him to drop all cases that he could not be a canon lawyer for ongoing cases. Siding just mysterious out of the blue allegations of misconduct, impure misconduct within an adult, that they characterized as a crime against the Six Commandment. This left the girls that lute harmed without counsel. Coronado was later dismissed from the clerical state by papal decree from around December 2024. By December 2024, Pope Francis was very sick. His health turn would take a sharp nose dive in late January, but by December, he was doing real bad. But he had time to make an issue of papal decree around December 2024, dismissing the girls' canon lawyer from the clerical state. Infafana Conna described the process as opaque and notes that Father Ramak Kyunah then in Provost Roman Circle, this is his papal secretary, the person who had a relationship with going
back with him. Back as long as age 15 possibly, shared the bishops' announcement on Facebook the same day. So Provost's personal secretary shared it on the bishops' decree getting rid of this priest from the same day. Father Coronado stated that, Provost personally directed the investigation into him while heading the Peruvian bishops' commission on those who had been harmed by wicked priests, and that Prevo sought Father Coronado's disqualification. He of course denies the allegations of impurity and six commanded violations as characterized and has described the episode as retaliation against the lawyer examining Prevo's own earlier handling of lute. Infafana notes that Coronado had previously represented the pseudo-dollity in victims and civil courts and obtained compensation in some cases which at sites against claims that he was a sedally agent targeting Prevost. So Father Coronado had already had success in this, defending the pseudo-dollity.
That sort of rigid clericalist, conservative organization that they successfully destroyed. He had defended them before that happened and had some success, got damages and things. Well, he represented the victims of them rather in civil courts. So again, this is a priest who just took his job seriously after going after priests who had done bad things. Now you get to of course the outlets that are on the opposite side of things like Crooks El Pi Religion Digital. They presented different picture. Longstanding personal ideological friction with Robert Prevost dating to their Augustinian years. Coronado was an Augustinian. He left the order around 2001 and viewed it as too progressive. You remember when everybody said we could have an Augustinian Pope? It's been forever since we got an Augustinian Pope reading some very traditional theology out of this. Father Coronado left them in 2001 because they were too progressive. There is not a single traditional Augustinian order in the church at this moment.
There are a couple of groups of some deem aschismatic, but there are no actual traditional Augustinian groups and it takes more to be a traditional Augustinian order than having the traditional Latin mass. They actually have to have like the traditional carisms and traditional Augustinian theology and way of living and all the rest of it and there are none that fit that bill completely. Apparently none that fit that bill even close. Alegitize and others to sedial a TM for Father Coronado claims that they use the victims to attack Prevost. They were attempts by progressive media, Catholic media, crux, L.P. religion, digital outlets that I cite from time to time. They tried to spin all of this, the Lute story as a way to attack Prevost. This is his personal grudge. The victim that I named earlier on a Maria Kispe later told L.P. that Coronado exploited them that his intention was never to help us. These sources treat the cover up allegations against Prevost as originating largely with Coronado after he entered the case.
So it took a weird turn. And the interesting thing about this is we're going to get here shortly to what happened to this priest in America because he's now making the rounds. Even though he's been dismissed from the clerical state, he is making the rounds still trying to blow the lid off this and there is now a documentary in the works about this. That's why we're talking about this now because this is going to become the biggest story in the church in the near future. Father Coronado is a controversial figure. He first gave Lute's victims professional canonical representation years after their 2022 meeting with Prevost. He was defraught, removed from the case and then competing narratives about his motive. Was this retaliation? Was this prior sentiment against the father of against Bishop Prevost and his links to that rigid, fair, ethical organization? These became the point of contention, not the, not the mishandling of the Lute case at all. Weird how that goes. Father Coronado was leased by the Vatican's legaster for clergy on December 19, 2024.
It was done via an accelerated process under the code of canon law, canon 1395. They sped it up because he was making too much noise. He was already barred from acting as a canon lawyer by Prevost and Bishop's four months earlier. Father Coronado denied the underlying allegations, you know, the crimes against the six command commandment, calling the process unfair, lacking evidence or even naming victims. They never told him who he was alleged to have done these things with. And they he says that it was associated by his work on the Lute case. His own lawyer said there was no crime. He has a prior connection to the United States. He served about 16 to 17 years as a judicial vicar and chancellor in the diocese of Colorado Springs, leaving in 2022 among a mid-conflict with Bishop James Golca. Now Archbishop James Golca of Denver, a later lawsuit he filed against Golca and others over 2023 statement and prior agreement was dismissed in El Paso County District Court.
He appealed sources describe him as having lived or spent substantial time in Colorado while also serving Peruvian dioceses. He is one of the priests that I mentioned in my report on Golca who would try to send men to get therapy at mental at mental institutions, that specialize in helping priests with the macarac kind of inclinations. Because St. Luke's is not the only hospital like that in the United States. There's like six of them, seven of them. And one of the things that these men like these bishops like to do is they'll send a priest to they maybe caught early before it became a real huge problem, huge problem meaning political problem, not a huge, it's a huge problem if there's even the thought crosses a priest's mind, right? In terms of like the politics of it before they caught it before it became a huge problem, try to get him therapy and rehabilitated. They send men who are also too conservative and too traditional to these places. And Golca has done this to at least like four priests. Father Coronado was one he tried to do that with.
After leaving the Lutay case and after layestization he continued public commentary through letters, including issuing a response to Crox Magazine which smeared him. He gave interviews and he used material that the survivors network used in complaints of the Vatican. Conservative outlets like life site and readers like Stephen Cox have carried his side of the story. He was report he's apparently preparing a book to give his own account. By September of last year he was living in Lima with his elderly mother and he had pending litigation against bishops and Peru. So he's taking them to court. There's no real major development in his side of things, but he is the lawyer. He was the lawyer for the victims of Lutay. And he was dismissed from the clerical state. It's very effective at it. One of the things I like to do, the modernist like to do, is destroy a priest reputation by implication. And you can see that in this case. So we here go to Marco Tosotti. Publish this piece.
Translating it using a translation extension, the headline, the Lutay case, a person who's a lawyer priest and the shadows over the role of Robert Francis prevost. Not a terribly long piece. With the air of a conclave in the air on March 25th, 2025, the SNAP network wrote to the Secretary of State, Cardinal Parallel, and the prefect of the Dicastry for bishops, Cardinal Fernandez, to announce the alleged shortcomings of Cardinal Robert Francis prevost, prefect for the Dicastry for bishops accused of covering up for two mecharek type priests. Informed to the matter, Bergoglio immediately called prevost, but not to admonish him. On the contrary, the facts demonstrate that he encouraged him to move forward, assuring him of his full protection. In a May 6th article, referring to the upcoming conclave, May 6th. That's the day, the first day of the conclave was May 6th. Because remember, Leo was elected on the third day. May 8th. Ricardo Cassioli, the editor of the New Daily Compass, wrote, it becomes a primary importance
that Cardinals avoid voting for anyone who has been implicated in recent years in corruption and impure harm. It is disturbing to see Cardinal Robert Francis prevost among the rising people candidates these days. Evidently at the time, few imagined that Pope Francis had already chosen and recommended as his successor, the man he had appointed bishops in 2014. Call to leave the Dicastry that appoints bishops in 2023 and created a Cardinal on September 30th of the same year. Meanwhile, Bergoglio was appointing the Augustinian Edinson Igardo Farrifan-Cordova, another protector of these wicked priests, and a personal friend of prevost as the new bishop of Cercleo, charging him with hush hush the accusations of these monsters he had protected. See how this works? In the interview with Leo IV, which became the book Leo IV, the citizen of the world, missionary of the 21st century. Ugh, I just said that Bishop prevost had suspended Luthe, known from the priestly ministry. This is false, however, as he had merely removed him from the parish.
Among the various lies contained in that book, prevost goes to great lengths to convince readers that he had no doubts, because an American could never become Pope. Containing the lie, he claims to have welcomed Luthe's victims with all his heart on April 5th, 2022, and to have assured them of his concern and support. This book was intended to exonerate prevost of all charges, however revealed in essential detail. On April 23rd, only two days after Bergolio's death, and therefore coincidentally, in anticipation of prevost election, the Bishop of Cercleo Farrifan-Cordova had received the girls to find a definitive solution to their case. Two days after Francis died. In the Interregnum. By the way, Robert Prevost was a known figure among certain UN circles too. I thought I'd throw that out there. His name came up as somebody they'd like to see succeed Francis. I'm sure that's just a coincidence too. In an effort to discredit the work of canonist and exorcist priest Ricardo Carnado charged
with defending the young victims of Luthe, citing canon 1483, the Code of Canon law. On August 24th, 2024, the Peruvian Episcopal Conference notified him without having the authority to do so of his dismissal from the ecclesiastical bar from having had consensual relations with an adult. From once later, amidst the dictatorial regime, and remember, these are accusations he denied for ciferously, Carnado received notification of his resignation from the clergy by papal decree. But the document did not bear Francis' and written signature. So the decastry for bishops would be where this would probably come from. He'd been eliminated from the priesthood, but the pope never signed the order. Most curious, wonder who did that? I ask rhetorically. Referring to these facts, InfoVatacana wrote in October 27th of 2025, quote, "'Today there are already very clear indications, which InfoVatacana has rigorously documented and denounced of a carefully orchestrated communications campaign to blacken the image
of all those involved in the so-called lute case. The goal is not to clarify the facts, but to rewrite them, constructing a conspiracy narrative aimed at discrediting the victims and their former lawyer. The same day Carnado responded with a letter to the same blog, accusing Prevos to falsely accusing him of a scandal of impurity, sixth commandment stuff, and writing, "'I take the opportunity to highlight the possible ongoing and ongoing public sin of then Bishop Prevos and invite him to convert." That was Carnado's response. In light of that and other, the things that came later, the author of this piece at Marco Tessade's blog announces, the initiation of legal action for the competent canonical authorities against all ecclesiastical officials who participated in or responsible for such negligence. The formal presentation of our case to associations of victims of these kinds of harms around the world so that it can be heard and we can work together towards real change within the church. So they're now going to organize every organization in the church that handles those harm by
priests to let them know that there's now a pope who had at least swept the stuff away. Immediate reporting to the case of the Vatican Commission for the Protection of Minors, requesting that it analyze what happened and take action to address the harms suffered. The request for a personal audience with a pope to explain the pain that situations like this caused of victims and asking for a change of direction in the way church deals with these cases. These facts alone would be enough to shame Robert Francis Prevost, those who defended him and those who elected him. The big newspapers censored everything, while bishops and cardinals were too busy venerating the relics of the Holy Father, Pope Francis as Santa Maria Magiore to address the case. The Vatican's coterie entourage did not remain idle and in March 2026 an Italian news site reported an article from El Pi about a mechariot type case covered up by Colonel Joseph Ratzinger because of course they did. That's retaliation. It was nothing more than yet another slander against those who had truly fought the problem,
but this was the system's dictate, a scandal within a scandal. Infovata conapublished a photo from March 8th where during a parish event, Lute appeared smiling next to father Edward Tukto, a close friend, a Prevost and his former lawyer in Lute case and we'll get to that in a second. Another idea how deep this runs, how widespread the interference is being run. This is vanity fair. Remember a couple days ago I did a story on a, and you'll get to see it. You'll get a chance to see that again if you haven't, about a vanity fair declaring Pope Leo a fashion icon. They did that a few days ago. Well, this is vanity fair, Spanish language version, Prevost method, how Leo the Four Chains work in Peru against Macarach's stuff and the church was key to his rise. It's told by those who were by his side. Yeah, yeah. Except the way he handled it was to sweep it under the rug purposely. That's how he handled it.
Go back to when he became Pope. That was the first thing that came up about him. When we have this story, that is related to all of this because Leo is a very direct title Lute, at least one. And there's this man here. The personal, this is Infovata Con of the headline. The personal secretary of Leo the Fourteenth was a disciple of Lute. The priest from Chocolat accused of impure harm whom Rome refuses to investigate. Rome will not investigate Lute. And this is the priest here in question on the left side. That is the man that began having a spiritual direction kind of relationship, mentorship with Leo personally, the age of 17, maybe is released 15 depending on the reports. He would go into the Augustinian order when Leo was the head of the Augustinians. He has been at his side, literally his entire career.
And it is now the personal secretary of the Roman Pontiff. Good gig if you can get it. Edgar Ramacuna, personal secretary of Leo the Fourteenth is a disciple of Father Lute. The priest from Chocolat accused of harming pre-Pupescent children, age 9 and 11. This previously unpublished information does not come from a publication, critical to Pope. Rather, it's revealed in the shepherd in the wolves, a book based on sources within the papal circle and openly complimentary of Leo the Fourteenth. The revelation places the Pope's closest collaborator in the inner circle of the priest whose case, investigated under then a bishop, Robert Prevost, through an investigation that the church itself described as a farce, remains unresolved to the state, even after dispensation from the clerical state attempted to end the canonical process. In recounting the relationship between bishop, Prevost and Father Lute, then the most popular priest in the diocese, promoter of the devotion to the child of the miracle of A-10,
Rancolio writes, quote, Fighting together brought the bishop and the priest much closer. Father Lute kept him informed of everything he was doing, and Bishop Prevost was proud of his achievements. Lute offered 5,000 testimonies of people he healed, helped or saved by the child of the miracle. He obtained 20,000, which Prevost took to Pope Francis in 2019. At the same time, Prevost relied on Lute's popularity to evangelize and create pre-sleeve locations, as Pope he would bring to the Holy See, as his private secretary, one of Lute's disciples, Edgar Roman Cuna. The passage is doubly relevant, first because it documents a close relationship of trusting collaboration between Prevost and Lute. Father Lute informed him of everything he did, Bishop Prevost was proud of his achievements, in the years immediately pre-seeding the victims' denunciation of the priest of Prevost himself in April 2022. The second, because it places within that orbit, as a disciple of the accused, the person who today shares the Pope's daily life, his first personal secretary.
He has had this kind of job with Prevost, well before he was Pope. He was named that position the same day Prevost became Pope. I remember because we were live streaming at that day. I think he was addressing the conglot. He addressed people in St. Peter's Square as Pope, I think at 11 a.m. Central time America, which would have put it about like five or six o'clock in the evening in Italy. On that same day, do you understand? Five or six o'clock was when he gave his first address. It's one of the first things you do when you become Pope. He wins the Conclave, I guess, if you want to call it that, and then goes to do the private prayer that the new Pope always does, and then he gets dressed in the papal garments and goes out to the logea to be introduced to the world. At six o'clock, give or take in the evening Italian time. That same day, immediately right after that, it would have been this priest's name as his
personal secretary, one that he's had a relationship with going back to the age of 15 or 17. Just throw that out there. To understand the full meaning of the word disciple, one must understand who Lute was and diocese of Chicleto. He was not just another parish priest. He was by far the most charismatic and popular priest in the region. The father of the child, a man who filled churches who mobilized multitudes around the divine child of the miracle, who established soup, kitchens, and shrines, who collected twenty thousand testimonies of faith, a priest with a direct and captivating manner, always surrounded by children and young people, to whom families opened their doors without hesitation. Do you understand how devastating it was when the accusations against this priest came out for the people in Chicleto? And it is true, as the entire diocesan community acknowledges, that this cares and pour fruit in terms of vocations. Lute encouraged many young men from his parishes to enter the seminary. He did so in his characteristic way, by directly intervening with families, speaking with parents and personally guiding the discernment of the young men who showed promise in their parish
groups. He was precisely with the book describes, the man whose popularity prevost counted on to evangelize and create priestly vocations. It is in this context that Ramacunas' background must be understood. Along with other young men in the same profile, diligent, devout, raised in the parishes where Lute exercised his informal mentorship. He was very likely encouraged and guided toward the seminary during those days by the priest who was now accused. This form of direct intermediation with families also has a sinister side, documented in the case itself. It was the same mechanism of trust that according to the compliance allowed Lute to take very young girls to the mountains. As one of the victims told Canal N, a news network, Father Lute quote was a very close friend of her family, and his religious status allowed him to convince her parents to let the girl accompany him on a mission five hours from Chocleo. The same influence over families that opened doors the seminary to some open path to the to his organization for others. So who's the secretary?
Edgar Yvonne Ramacuna Inga. Born in Chocleo, 1989 has been the personal secretary of Pope Leo the 14th since May 8, 2025, the day after his election, or dainty priest in Chocleo, in November 2014 he celebrated his first mass at the San Jose Obrero Parish in La Victoria. The same parish where the victims placed some of the reported events and where Lute himself had served as parish priest. In November 2025, the Pope appointed Father Ramacuna Chaplain for his holiness, meaning his personal chaplain at the time. Incorporating him into the papal household, he had accompanied Leo the 14th on his recent apostolic journey to Spain. In this past August, he was received with great enthusiasm in Chocleo, where he is spending his vacation. In short, he is the person with the closest daily contact with the Pope within the Holy Sea. This is all part of an open case that they say the church does not resolve because they
are actively avoiding going after Father Lute. Remember the speed with which they went after Father Coronado? Because he was very inconvenient. Vigenotes is taking this seriously. He posted this to X. There are some definite insinuations here. The personal secretary and first confident of Leo the 14th, Father Ramacuna, comes from the vocational circle of Lute. The wicked priest from Chocleo accused of impurely, gravely harming three girls between ages 9 and 11. The same priest who has bishop handled that case with an investigation described by a canonist as a farce, a mockery to day as Pope, who as his first collaborator, a disciple of that wicked priest, to whom he granted, without any judicial process, dispensation from the clerical state. Administrative grace takes the place of ascertaining the truth. Friends are privileged and protected. The victims remain without justice. Now remember, the canonical process ceased immediately once he granted him the dispensation
to leave the priesthood. And there was already the statute of limitations in the civil sphere, meaning Lute will suffer no consequences for this on this side of his judgment. In place of those who should combat iniquity the network that protected it and stalls itself, whoever may silent about this contradiction ratifies the injustice. And that is vegano, saying that in a retweet of the article I just went over with you from Infobodicana. Now Lute, of course, didn't just disappear after this. I don't know what kind of monster priest someone who harmed people would go back to the scene of the crime, but here we go, Infobodicana headline. Lute reappears publicly in Chiclayo alongside a priest closely linked to Leo the Fourteenth. The priest, Eletero Vezquez, known as Lute in Chiclayo, and denounced by three victims for serious grave evils against minors to whom he took a loan to spend the night at a ranch in the mountains, has reappeared publicly last week, the back in March, at a Paris celebration,
accompanied by the priest Edward Tocqueau, a canon lawyer close to Prevost, who also acted as Lute's defense lawyer in the controversial failed canonical process, regarding the grave harms in Chiclayo. So he felt emboldened enough to go appear in public in his old stomping grounds after he had become public knowledge that he had done these things. That's where we are. That's where we are. In what world would this be even a reasonable thing? And this all leads to the story that broke on Infobodicana yesterday. The headline here is, Salinas reacts to Edgar Remacune's news. Are they suggesting that Prevost is more afraid of Lute than of the Sodalatium?
They're, I'm skeptical really of the, a lot about the accusations against the Sodalatium. Now, that doesn't mean that there wasn't problems there that people should have been punished for. But again, look at how they handled this versus how they handled Lute. They went after them with such a rapid response, like they did Father Coronado while dragging their feet and taking their time with Lute. And they're trying to, there's some whispers that Lute may have had something on Prevost. What's your hope? You probably got nothing to worry about. I mean, in theory, right? No one can judge the first, the Holy See. No one can judge, see a Peter. So no one is going to be able to, can do anything about Leo, right? Nothing. No one can do anything except maybe make his life a living nightmare. But the problem here is, we know that Prevost was, was close allies with, with Lute, maybe close friends.
Previan journalist Pedro Solinas dedicated part of the September 2nd broadcast of his program on La Republic La Verde de Fondo to responding to the information published by InfoVodacana about Edgar Ramacuna, personal secretary of Leo XIV, and his status as a disciple of Lute, the priest from Chocleo accused of doing unspeakably evil things. Solinas co-author with Palo Ugas, the research on the Soda Latarium of Christian life, and one of the most vocal public defenders of Prevost leadership in Peru, did not dispute the facts presented in the article. He chose instead to discredit the publication. He described InfoVodacana as a digital rag that goes around handing out Catholicism certificates and a disseminator of hoaxes, nonsense, and fake news, and maintain that this newspaper quote, always subtly attacks Pope Leo XIV. It is never direct, it always targets people in his inner circle, something he attributed to the typical behavior of cowards. That's how media figures have handled this.
Regarding the substance of the Maddo the journalist raised three objections. First dimension of Ramacuna in the Shepherd and the Wolves, the book by Santiago, Ron Guiaglio from which the information originates is unique, and that the InfoVodacana article itself acknowledges that the book makes no accusations against the Pope's secretary. That doesn't matter, you're using it for relevant support information about the person in question. Second, the only connection between Ramacuna and Lute is that they knew each other, noting that Ramacuna was not yet a priest at the time of the alleged events. The third objection was directed against the victim's point of the prevoice as the aunt, the one primarily responsible for the case, which he described as stupidity the size of a cathedral quote, what are they suggesting? That Pope Robert Prevoice didn't investigate a case of a wicked priest in Chiclayo, getting he went after the powerful Sinalotium. In other words, was he more afraid of Lute than of the Sinalotium? He doesn't have to be more afraid of Lute. Lute was apparently his friend. That's the real accusation. That journalist went on to say that all of InfoVodacana stuff was nonsense. He didn't address the core question.
He went after the Sinalotium for various other reasons, but Lute was his friend. You could see that in the evidence laid out about Lute. The priest that he swept away the accusations of, the priest that he recommended to the people harmed, go to the local authorities knowing full well the statute of limitations had expired. He was protecting him. He wasn't afraid of him. He was protecting him. This is something that is going to keep going on. This story is not going away, especially now in light of people starting to take a look, a very close look at his papal secretary. It's a little weird that this guy has been following Pope Leo around for the last 15 years, 20 years. It's a little weird. It's a little weird. It's a little weird. But it's a mildly. That they knew each other going back to 17 years old, maybe 15. It's worth reminding you, papal secretary will be turning 37 this year.
Leo is 70. Just, again, throwing all that out there. I've been whisper about this since before Leo became Pope Leo the 14th. There were people warning about this, his handling of these cases in Peru. The media went and ran interference for him before the concave. That should have been something we all noticed and made mention of, that it looked like that they had a hand-picked person, that a lot of people on the inside were aware of. Go back to something that seems unrelated, but pair with me here. It's another with Austin Ivory, professional, frances, and fiction writer. He wrote numerous biographies on Pope Francis. He was the papal biographer for the English-speaking world for most of Francis' papacy. He was spotted by an inphobotic connogeuronalyst hanging out with father James Martin F.J. in St. Peter's Square.
On May 7th, that's the day before Leo won by on the 1st ballot May 8th on the third day of the concave, that elected him Pope. The two of them were sitting there whispering like schoolgirls with the biggest grins on their faces imaginable, like they knew something. So the inphobotic connogeuronalyst approached them. They didn't recognize who he was. They acted very cordial, happy to see him, and they were very clearly happy to see him. Any identitivied himself as an inphobotic connogeuronalyst, and they clammed up and pushed the guy away. It seems that a lot of people knew how this was going to happen. There were indications that Francis had a hand picked him, and then we have confirmation of that. It was close to real confirmation for ever going to get this side of the general judgment when all the secret things were revealed. Some of us had worried that Francis was going to hand pick a successor.
And it looks like that's what happened. That's why it happened so quickly. The first ballot of a concave is usually people doing the votes that they feel they have a duty to. Cardinal Parallel and friends voted for him. The Filipino cardinal can't remember his name right now. But all these guys, they had their friends voted for them. And then the second ballot happened, and that's when everything shifted dramatically. And before the second, before the third ballot, people knew Prevost was going to win. Those are the reports that leaked. And the media was running interference from him the days leading up to it. It's got to wonder, ask yourself about this. Who knew what and when? And just how deep does the lute thing go? How many people were actually harmed by him? How much did Prevost know as the prefectory of the dicastery of bishops in 2022, 2023? How much did he know when he was the ordinary for the diocesan question?
Why did they dismiss the canon lawyer for the victims? Why did they dismiss him from the clerical state later? Why did they involve the bishop of Denver? And this why did they involve all this stuff? This is going to could very well become the biggest story of the year. And a year with the SSPX concentration in bishops, that's saying something. And this investigation is not going to stop anytime soon. You're starting to see people posting about this on social media. Beware. And Prevost, everybody involved in the story today. Raven Ray, who was in the Philippines said Cardinal Pablo, David, no, Toglay. So he's not from the Philippines, other thing. Father, Cardinal Toglay, he was considered poppy BLA. We all thought he'd be like a goofball, Francis, the second. What we all failed to recognize was that the modernists were playing hardball. They wanted somebody who would finish the job of implementing Francis' program, do so with a smile on his face and a much better pastoral era about him to make it harder to resist.
Because Francis made it easy to resist. He just had to open his mouth. In his personality would do the job for everybody. Would do the job. Would do the rest to give people impetus to resist him. But you know, hopefully he goes up, praise and Latin, dresses the way you expect a post-concilior Pope to dress, has a nice personality about him most of the time. And that's enough from enough people to not be worried about or to be tricked by him. Let's go look at all the commentators who surrendered. He became Pope. Toglay, the rap star says Evelyn. Yes. He's the guy famous, the Cardinal famous for being on video multiple times, literally rapping with young people. Amazing. I'll dress this trash. Compared to Francis, he was, again, he just wears the bare minimum papal vestments, which is more than Francis wore. So pray for everybody involved in these stories today. And pray that the truth comes out.
The absolute truth comes out and the people willing to accept it when it does. This is not a story that can stay buried forever. This story has the potential to go to some very deep, dark places involving Leo himself. So again, pray for everybody in these stories today. This is a deadly, serious story that has to do with the very top of the church and people to very top hiding wickedness. It involves Fernandez. It involves Leo when he was just Cardinal Robert Prevo's pre-vest for the Dicastria Bishops, supposed to be doing his job, helping Francis appoint new bishops and also policing the bishops essentially. It involves a lot of things top down, going all the way back to when Leo first became the bishop of Chocleo. And how he handled things and how his own successor in that diocese described the investigations
of the priestess of farce and he was no friend of orthodoxy in the church. But pray for everybody involved in these stories today. This is going to become a big story. Without question. It's picking up steam now. I've been aware of the lute stuff going back for most of the last year, but there just wasn't enough yet. Well, now it's picking up steam. Please pray for everybody involved in the story today. Pray for the church.
