The Pope even has a butler.

ROME – It doesn't get more symbolic than this: dark clouds hung over the Vatican on Monday morning after months of glorious sunshine, just as its spokesman announced the outcome of an investigation into one of the biggest conspiracies to emerge from the Holy See in years.

As explained in a 35-page document issued by the Vatican, a judge charged Pope Benedict XVI's former butler with "aggravated theft" for allegedly stealing and leaking private documents from the pope's apartment to the Italian media.

Paolo Gabriele must now stand trial in one of the biggest conspiracies to hit the Vatican in years.

The documents purporting to contain damaging details of alleged corruption and power struggles among the Church's hierarchy provide a rare peek through the keyhole of the secretive Vatican medieval walls.

1. You don't expect the Pope to dress himself in those crazy clothes do you?

I don't think anyone could dress themselves in Pope clothes.

5. Ha!

I hope that thieves steal everything from them. Jesus might not be on my side on this matter, but then again, maybe he would be.
