VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, thanked experts from Moneyval -- the Council of Europe's Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism -- for helping the Holy See in its efforts to ensure transparency and international cooperation in its financial dealings.

The cardinal welcomed the experts to the Vatican Sept. 30 as they began a regularly scheduled, two-week visit.

In the Vatican, he said, there is underway "a progressive implementation of systems that allow a greater control of financial flows that could be exposed to the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing," which is why "the interventions and recommendations of the Moneyval evaluators are a resource that we treasure."

The Vatican is unusual among the Moneyval members since its economic activity is not "aimed at creating wealth and well-being" for a nation, the cardinal said, according to Vatican News. "The funds managed by the Holy See and Vatican City State are primarily intended for works of religion or charity."

"Precisely because of the priority destination of the funds," Cardinal Parolin said, "it is necessary that the ethical dimension of investments be given special attention."

Announcing the visit, the Vatican press office had said, "The scope of this phase of evaluations is to assess the effectiveness of the legislative and institutional measures adopted by the jurisdictions in recent years for the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism."

According to the Moneyval website, the program is designed to "assess its members' compliance with all relevant international standards in the legal, financial and law enforcement sectors through a peer review process of mutual evaluations, including assessment of effectiveness of the implemented measures in practice" and to "formulate recommendations on ways to improve the effectiveness of domestic...........

I think I saw a movie about this once, it was called Godfather III.

"The funds managed by the Holy See and Vatican City State are primarily intended for works of religion or charity."

Does this include the approximately $27 million dollars that Francis had in his personal bank account? (Revealed today by Marco Tosatti.)

Because it won’t be believed, let’s just leave this narrative at fun fiction —

Putin and Obama (Clinton) wanted Netanyahu out, and the unspoken Saudi/UAE/Israel energy pipeline into Italy neutralized.

This was to secure/ensure Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 (Gazprom) between Moscow and Berlin. Strategically, the Moscow/Berlin axis (with universal Shia Crescent support) was both an intentional shot at NATO, and a German-Franco challenge to US regional influence (economic and financial) within Europe.

True to KGB and GRU doctrine/form, Ukraine would also need to be neutralized/weakened from within, from any energy influence with Germany and the EU. In fact, the entire Nord Stream complex aimed at keeping Ukraine energy infrastructure from being a factor. Think well placed corrupted officials in Ukraine government, and Ukraine/Crimea 2014.

Acting on either wishes or orders from the Kremlin, Obama (Clinton) had Benedict XVI thoroughly investigated by two preeminent U.S. IC organizations.

Between OCT (2012) and JAN (2013), high level Obama POC’s quietly met with the most influential individuals within the College of Cardinals, and also met with Benedict 16 himself, threatening to disclose some of his wealth through money laundering.

Benedict 16 then voluntarily stepped down/resigned on February 28, 2013.

One of the original, and arguably the most influential/dangerous KGB/FSB “Liberation Theology” (doctrinally integrated Marxism Communism and anti-American) “Catholic” priest and communist proponents in the Western hemisphere and world had long been
Jorge Mario Bergoglio - current Pope Francis.

And thus is only a fraction of the “story”.
