Berlin: The drug haul was unremarkable, but the destination raised eyebrows.

German customs officials intercepted a shipment of cocaine destined for the Vatican in January, weekly Bild am Sonntag reported on Sunday.

Officers at Leipzig airport found 340 grams (12 ounces) of the drug packed into 14 condoms inside a shipment of cushions coming from South America, the paper, reported citing a German customs report. It said the package was simply addressed to the Vatican postal office, meaning any of the Catholic mini-state's 800 residents could have picked it up.

The paper reported that a subsequent sting operation arranged with Vatican police failed to nab the intended recipient. No one claimed the package, indicating that he or she was tipped off about the plan. The drugs would have a street value of several tens of thousands of euros.

A spokesman for the German Finance Ministry, which oversees the customs office, confirmed the report. Prosecutors in Leipzig planned to issue a statement Monday providing further details, Martin Chaudhuri told The Associated Press.

Vatican spokesman the Reverend Federico Lombardi confirmed that the Vatican police had cooperated with German police in an attempt to identify the traffickers. He said the investigation remained open.

Only a coke head would have the confidence to pull off this outfit.
 
I wonder if there could be a correlation between a little bump here and there and the progressive positive changes that the vatican has hinted at.. care for the masses, not mass, the masses. But then again it would take a true miracle to convince me that the "devil" isn't the one who puppets all the strings of religion.
 
I bet it was destined for Italy. It would have been a fairly easy way to avoid suspicion, because, clearly, people didn't expect this. Someone in the city is definitely guilty though.

We're all born guilty, according to this institution's dogma.
No amount of (feigned or genuine) piety or "devotion" to "god" can do away wih natural human urges. The same urges that lead people to take cocaine, have sex - or abuse vulnerable children when expressions of sexuality are explicitly taboo and denied to members of the clergy.

Maybe a clever smuggling route...or maybe some expensive, power-status drugs for some wealthy people of high prestige positions in a powerful organisation.
Who knows? I don't really care.
The Catholic Church could start making up for its many historic sins and atrocities - by announcing that god would not ban plants he "created" for his earth.
This bizarre contradiction needs to be used as a leverage point by anti prohibitionists around the world.
Question to lawmakers: "are you a Christian?"
If the the answer is yes, it beds the further analysis;
"How can so many of God's creations - humble plants, some of which serve many purposes on earth - be illegal?"

Sure, this may not yield results but making conservatives squirm is a beautiful thing.
Perhaps that is why "god" "created" the dipshits.
 
^ context is everything in these instances.
global bans on plant species are ludicrous. Everything has its right place; the ecosystem it evolved in.
Extracts of said flora (in this instance cocaine) does nothing to "native fauna" or "waterways" - except in the polluted wilderness of the cocaine production areas.
And what causes this reckless abuse of the land? Blackmarket demand.
Why does this exist as it does?
Prohibition, friends.
Nice try - you can't fake being an environmentalist for the same of an 'argument'.
 
Prohibiting plants is one of the most dumbfounding things that I've ever seen.

Can we prohibit conservative thinkers, religeous extremists, creationists and mentally lacking people as well? They are almost mutually exclusive, so it would be easy to round them up.
