Father Riccardo Seppia, a 51-year-old parish priest in the village of Sastri Ponente, near Genoa, was arrested last Friday, May 13, on pedophilia and drug charges. Investigators say that in tapped mobile-phone conversations, Seppia asked a Moroccan drug dealer to arrange sexual encounters with young and vulnerable boys. “I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger. Fourteen-year-olds are O.K. Look for needy boys who have family issues,” he allegedly said
Piercarlo Casassa, a retired priest, in a report by The Daily Telegraph, said of Seppia, “I told the Church about him in 1994 but was ignored. I told them he was not the right person to have around youngsters.”

Pete, not that you don't have a point, but you didn't quite get your facts straight. It is not papal advisor Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco who has been arrested for attempting to arrange sexual encounters with teenage boys (and who is reportedly HIV positive) but a priest in his diocese, Riccardo Seppia.
