McCarrick would still be a fixer, getting the top fat of the Chinese Communist Party's $200 million per year bribe off the blood of Chinese Catholics, if McCarrick hadn't made the "technical" mistake of playing chicken hawk with underage seminarians, instead of just 18+ boys.
When the professional banking world gets tired of the shoddy practices customary under the pretext that "it's G-d's work", they won't treat the Vatican Bank with anything like Swiss secrecy, the whole shabby, tawdry mess will reveal for all the world, the feke stains on the hierarchical underwear.

Although The godfather 3 was nowhere close to as good as the first two, it did shine a light of what goes on with the Vatican and its finances. The pope before John Paul II was certainly murdered. Corruption abounds.
