Just over four months since the Vatican announced that the Vatican would be subjected to an external audit by one of the world’s leading accounting firms, the Secretariat of State has said that it is pulling the plug on the initiative.

The Vatican announced the decision to suspend the audit, carried out by accountancy giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, in a letter sent to all Vatican entities this week.

“They’re afraid of the audit uncovering information they don’t want uncovered and are worried about losing sovereign control over Vatican finances,” said a source. “What they want is to get rid of Cardinal Pell, but it’s important to remember that a pope resigned largely because of these issues.”

Why is it only the Catholics who have to account for everything that happens in their church? I never hear Catholics bashing Baptists because of the nutcases in the Westboro Baptist Church.

“Molesting payouts...”

No such thing, unless the priest involved is a priest of the Diocese of Rome.

The money for payouts in abuse cases comes from the local diocese’s assets and insurance.

Contrary to popular belief, money from “the plate” in Catholic parishes does not go to Rome, and no money comes from Rome, either.

The real money corruption in Rome involves a lot of Cardinals, bishops, and priests with unaccounted-for slush funds.

Just a slur. Speaks more about you than your target.
