Italian
investigators have charged four priests with laundering money out of the
Vatican's official bank, the Institute for the Works of Religion, the National Catholic Reporter's John L. Allen Jr. writes.
The Italian
daily l'Unita was the first to report that the priests were being investigated
for laundering hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It's the
latest in a series of investigations into Vatican finances dating back to 2010.
In December of that year, Pope Benedict XVI decreed an updated anti-money
laundering law for Vatican finances.
Late last
month, an Italian TV program published letters written by the Vatican's
ambassador to the U.S. that charged the Holy See's financial planners with cronyism and corruption.
In the
letters, published by the popular Italian news magazine program "The
Untouchables," Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò said that his appointment to
the U.S. was motivated by a desire to get him out of Rome because he was
causing headaches, according to Les Echoes' Guillaume Delacroix.
Viganò
worried that his removal would cause disillusion among those hoping to clean up
"corruption and dishonesty" in the city-state, including rigged
contract bids and mismanaged investments, Allen reports.
The Vatican
has denied the charges.

“.. For centuries you haven't been able to think past that box of what God must be like. So you create a Human-like God with wars in heaven, angel strife, things that would explain the devil, fallen angels, pearly gates, lists of dos and don'ts, and many rules still based on cultures that are centuries old. You create golden streets and even sexual pleasures as rewards for men (of course) - all Human perspective, pasted upon God. I want to tell you that it's a lot different than that. I want to remind you that there are those who have seen it! Why don't you ask somebody who has had what you would call a near-death experience?
