Vatican bank has been a money laundering funnel for wealthy and shady mafia types for years.

All the piles of gold in Vatican City just didn’t walk in off the street on its own accord.

If you think about it the Catholic Church is a quasi-nation state with agents (priests) nearly everywhere in the world and that would lend itself to money laundering on a massive scale.

Cdl. Pell is exactly right!

Both he and Abp. Vigano were sidelined due to their efforts to clean up the Vatican bank scandal.

Why do you suppose Abp. Vigano has been holed up in an undisclosed location for so long?

Seems possible.There can be little doubt that there’s a Swamp in Vatican City just as surely as there’s one in DC...Brussels...and other cities.

Andrew Bolt is probably no relation to Robert Bolt, the playwright who wrote A Man for All Seasons. Robert Bolt was from a Methodist family and apparently was not religious, plus he was an Englishman, not an Australian.
