Unfortunately, that’s not how the media or most casual observers will see this. All they will know is that “The Vatican calls for a one world bank” and assume the worst, and no matter how much effort we expend trying to clarify to the contrary, 99% will believe the headlines and not the orthodox Catholic apologists who know better.
In the current world political climate, there is simply no excuse for letting this white paper see the light of day.
Exactly. And so, unless you believe the Vatican is inept, you must accept that they released this report in order to have exactly the effect they're having.
But why?
Well, one thing I noticed in reading through all of these apologetics is the lack of any mention of the billions of dollars of investment links to the City of London, Wall Street, and elsewhere, with the Vatican Bank.
But of course, the reason that the Vatican Bank is not mentioned is because it wasn't mentioned in this publication and has nothing to do with Catholic religious teachings.
Therefore, despite it's significant involvement in the world banking system, it's influence (both financially and politically) is, and must be considered, for the purposes of this particular issue (despite its considerable global power)...irrelevant.
Which means the intended purpose behind the Vatican's release of this paper is, and must be, devoid of any influencial design or intended influence upon world politics, and can only be explained as a Divine Mystery.
