    Paolo Gabriele, a former butler to Pope Benedict XVI, is set to go on trial for leaking confidential Vatican memos that revealed clandestine politics among the closest aides of the Roman Catholic Pope.

    Saturday’s trial will see Gabriele face up to four years in prison for aggravated theft in a trial that is unprecedented in the modern history of the world’s smallest state.

    Gabriele said he grew disgusted by the “evil and corruption” he witnessed. He told investigators he was acting as an “agent” of the Holy Spirit to help the pope put the Roman Catholic Church back on track.
