CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis has issued a canonical order for all agencies of the Holy See to deposit their liquid assets in the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), the Vatican bank.
In a rescript published in L’Osservatore Romano on August 23, the Pope said that the apostolic constitution Praedicate Evangelium should be understood to mean that the IOR has the sole authority to manage “the movable assets of the Holy See and of the institutions linked to the Holy See.”
The papal order makes it clear that Vatican offices are not to maintain separate bank accounts in non-Vatican institutions. The policy clearly applies to the Secretariat of State, which moved fund through other institutions to carry out the ill-fated London real-estate deal that is the basis for the current landmark criminal trial.
The new policy takes effect September 1, with all Vatican institutions required to transfer funds from other banks to the IOR “as soon as possible.”
Luke 12:16-21 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.” ’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
I’m imagining a commercial for “Vatican Bank.”
Perhaps FJB can once again deposit his assets in his presence
What’s the proper term for a Papal Vig?
And this is what the pope is for?
The Pope’s method to determine God’s share of the offering:
I toss the offering up in the air, and God takes his share.
banco immobiliare???
Collapse? The catholic church is the richest business on the planet!
Also, I would think that the Vatican bank would be free from most external regulatory oversight, which might be a motivating factor if there were some shenanigans going on.
Tithe?
Banco Infallible :D
When this hits the fan, I want to be the first to go on record that we’re going to need a bigger fan.
Like Bloato Booze Kennedy, brandon is figuring how much dough will induce Crazy Frank to sell him a ticket to heaven...but still leave him enough to keep living like a king. Ditto pelosi.
