  • Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela is the head of the Spanish Episcopal Conference
  • his niece, Magdalena Rouco Hernandez, is dirty on him
  • according to this story, she says:
“My uncle does not stop repeating that the family is sacred, that you must respect it and fight for it, but then he scorns and abandons his own.”

By way of example, she said her uncle … turned down her request for financial help when her husband lost his job and did not call her family in the wake of her mother’s death.

She also accused the cardinal of lying about having a meeting with the late Pope John Paul II to justify not attending her father’s funeral seven years ago.

  • in short, she calls her uncle a hypocrite
  • now, if you wanted to expose a cleric’s hypocrisy, you’d think that words like those above would be the weapons to use
  • however, Magdalena, by some curious form of logic, seems to have got it into her head that she’d expose her uncle’s hypocrisy if she exposed herself literally, so she’s appearing topless in a bestselling Spanish soft porn magazine, including on its cover
  • the Stumblng Tumblr won’t link to the magazine itself, but he does provide this link to The Voice of Galicia, at which link you can get some idea of the cover of the magazine on which Magdalena appears
  • the Stumblng Tumblr feels sure that, by appearing topless in the magazine, Magdalena’s taught her uncle a very valuable lesson, but he just can’t put his finger on exactly what it is
  • the image above from here is not of the Cardinal, but of Tartuffe
