*For the first time Vatican officials will this week discuss in public sins committed by clergy considered so deadly that they require forgiveness from the Pope himself, including sexual abuse by priests and the profanation of Holy Communion wafers in Satanic rituals.
The Apostolic Penitentiary, currently headed by Cardinal James Stafford of the United States, the Major Penitentiary, was once described by Pope John XXIII as “the most secret” of Vatican departments. Starting tomorrow (Tuesday) however it will emerge from the shadows to hold a two day conference in Rome on the five “ultimate crimes” - abortion, using the Eucharistic host in Satanic rites, paedophile offences committed by the clergy, violation of the secrets of the confessional, and “offences against the person of the Pope”.
The Apostolic Penitentiary, founded in the thirteenth century by Pope Honorius III (reigned 1216-1227) is a Vatican tribunal responsible for matters relating to confession, absolution, indulgences and the forgiveness of sins, and is sometimes described as “the tribunal of the soul”. For the “five worst sins” however confession is not enough, and a special dispensation from the Pope himself is needed for absolution.*

Does anyone have any actual references for some of these statements, like under what conditions the Pope is needed, in what context was the “five worst sins” used. I’m left more confused than anything.
