Sort of my question, too, Don.  It would be incomprehensible, and one more unbelievable excuse based on self protection by the Vatican and the Church itself, if no cleric of rank was not found to be chest-deep in the abuse of finances.  I grant that some of it will not be released as it has to do with actions involving other entities too sensitive for public knowledge, and that is fine with me.  It is the open misuse of money, the lack of accountability, the flagrant violation of standard banking procedures and legal requirements both domestic and international, and the curia's use of money to buy silence, create resistance to undermine some popes and for personal
enjoyment of various kinds, that bother me so greatly.  This is a sterling chance for the Pope and the new Vatican financial watchdogs to gain some real respect: if heads of some prelates and other clerics will roll for the rampant wrongdoings proven to have been done.
