That's weird because they just threatened the Pope.
"Vatican says bank inquiry fueled by a mix-up" by Nicole Winfield, Associated Press | September 23, 2010
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican said yesterday that the seizure by police of $30 million from a Vatican bank account and the investigation of two top bank officials was due to a simple misunderstanding that should be clarified quickly.
Italian financial police seized the money as a precaution Tuesday, and Rome prosecutors placed the bank’s chairman, Ettore Gotti Tedeschi, and his director general, Paolo Cipriani, under investigation for alleged mistakes linked to violations of the norms.
L’Osservatore Romano stressed that since the beginning of the year, the Vatican bank — officially known as the Institute for Works of Religion, or IOR — had been working with the Bank of Italy to conform to Italy’s new anti-money laundering norms.
The bank also had supplied documentation in a bid to get on the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s so-called white list of banks that cooperate with international norms on money-laundering and terrorism, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano said....
The Vatican wants a seat at the globalist table.

They never get a cent from me.
"Italy seizes $30m from Vatican bank" by Associated Press | September 22, 2010
VATICAN CITY — Italian authorities seized $30 million from a Vatican bank account yesterday and said they have begun investigating top officials of the Vatican bank in connection with a money-laundering probe.
Yeah, never mind investigating the drug-running government intelligence agencies behind it all.
See: Drug money saved banks
Yeah, somehow EVERYTHING always seems to come BACK to THEM in the END!
The Vatican said it was “perplexed and surprised’’ by the investigation....
The investigation is not the first trouble for the bank, formally known as the Institute for Works of Religion. In the 1980s, it was involved in a major scandal that resulted in a banker, dubbed “God’s Banker’’ because of his close ties to the Vatican, being found hanged from Blackfriars Bridge in London....
News reports circulated more than a year ago that Italian investigators were scrutinizing millions of euros worth of Vatican bank transactions to see if they violated money-laundering regulations....
And here stand the central banks that have looted and stolen trillions while fattening themselves on drug profits -- and yet they are going after the few millions of the Catholics.
