Ex Head of the Vatican Bank Faced ‘Spite, Traps, Threats and Intimidation’
Crux ^ | 4/4/19 | Claire Giangrave

ROME - In two recent interviews, the former president of the Institute for the Works of Religion (IOR), better known as the Vatican Bank, spoke about the relationship between members of the Roman Curia and a failed Italian bank, the manipulation of accounts at the IOR and how working in the Vatican led him almost to lose not only his faith, but also his life.

“The Church has nothing to do with these happenings. This is the Vatican, the Vatican Curia, where there is everything you cannot imagine,” Ettore Gotti Tedeschi said March 21 in his first interview with Italian media outlet Le Iene.

“I was about to lose my faith,” he said, before adding that working at the Vatican also made him nearly lose his life.

The interview for the most part was about the 2013 death of David Rossi, former head of communications for Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS), one of the oldest banks in Europe. The institution fell into serious financial difficulty starting in the 2010s and was entangled in various political and economic scandals.

One source told Le Iene that four accounts within the IOR could be traced back to members of the foundation behind Monte dei Paschi di Siena. Before heading the Ior, Gotti Tedeschi was the head of Santander Bank in Italy, which bought the smaller Antonveneta Bank in October 2007 only to resell it in to MPS one month later.

The acquisition of Antonveneta began an avalanche of scandals and financial failures at MPS. In 2013, Rossi fell from his window to his death in an apparent suicide.

Gotti Tedeschi said that the then president of MPS, Giuseppe Mussari, was never seen at the Vatican, but another person (whose name is redacted from the interview) handled the relationship directly with the former.......

Yes I’m sure.

And “the Godfather III” had one focus on the Pope that was murdered after, what, 2 months?

OF COURSE that one was murdered.

Like it was said in “The Godfather III” “this pope has different ideas on how things should be run”...or something to that effect.

And then he was dead.

Their have been SERIOUS problems within the Catholic church for many many decades , money only exascerbate’s the situation . Demonic influence is certainly a factor at the Vatican and who will exorcise it? The majority of the followers admit to problems but most seem to keep supporting it in one way or another . As for me I would turn my back in an instant and watch the ugly demise and see it break off into smaller (more easily scrutinized) branches that actually preach and practice the word as opposed to the globalist commie who is embracing islamic animals . As a young child who was brought to Catholic churches , something always kept me wary and I never gravitated to it as the years went by . When money is not used as a church should utilize it and the sun does not shine on it then we all know what happens ....Darkness will consume it and this has been in the dark for many many decades . I have no respect for the vatican and the inner workings of the conglomerate it is now.
