——“It has already previously been stated by (deceased) monsignor Simeone Duca, an archivist at the Vatican, who was asked to recruit girls for parties with the help of the Vatican gendarmes.”——
So the archivist was a priest. But what “has already been previously stated by him”? My best guess from reading this awkward sentence is that Vatican police asked the priest to recruit girls for parties with them.
“Recruited for parties” could mean anything from the annual Christmas party to orgies with cops. Regardless, from this sentence alone, there is no tie to clergy, unless the priest participated in the recruiting —a question left unanswered by this report.
You didn’t seem to know what the archivist was although you read the article, or even if he was male or female, I hope that cleared it up.
The Priest that John Paul II appointed as the head Exorcist was describing what he had learned from the archivist, who was a Monsignor.
