While Da Pope's been in Town, prosecutors in Rome have been investigating his bank (aka "Institute for Religious Works").

Vatican Bank 'investigated over money-laundering' (BBC story)

There is no suggestion that the elderly German religious leader has himself been involved in the alleged money laundering, but as with the pedophile priests in his organisation, there do seem to be things he needs to sort out in his own back yard. First.

Delighted to read the latest issue of the daily Innuendo - l'Osservatore Romano per Lettori Umanisti.

OAE: there is no evidence that the Pope is involved with the alleged money laundering at the Vatican Bank; moreover surely no one would expect that to be the case either. I do suggest, however, that as the boss, he really should sort out his organisation's issues, which number more than one and are quite serious, before he starts telling other telling others how they might improve their conduct. See Mathew 7:3.
