RE: What's Behind The Pope's Resignation? 
The most important change in the Vatican may not be Pope Benedict XVI =udden retirement but the change in 
leadership at "the Institute =or Works of Religion," the Vatican's bank. Because of the =atican's status as a sovereign 
country, it is exempt from =ransparency rules of not only Italy— but of the European Union. =his status allows its elite 
clients to evade any scrutiny in their =oney transfers. Last May. Vatican Bank President Ettore Gotti =edeschi was fired 
after Italian authorities opened an investigation =nto a far flung bribery scheme in which he was allegedly involved. 
=hen 47 dossiers, including compromising about "internal enemies" =f his in the Vatican were found in a search of his 
home. They had =nstructions how they were used in case something happened to him. =edeschi's intercepted calls 
futher revealed that his concern was =hat he would be assassinated because he knoew the Vatican's secrets. =y late 
2012, he was cooperating with the ongoing Italian =nvestigation, It was at this point that the all-powerful College of 
=ardinals, in one of the last acts in the Benedict papacy, appointed =erman lawyer Ernst von Freyberg as President of the 
bank. The came the =xtraordinary resignation of Pope Benedict. 
The problems at the Vatican bank =race back 30 years to the scandal that followed the sensational 
death =oberto Calvi, also known as God's Banker, who was hanged under =lackfriars bridge in London. If interested, see 
my extended =nvestigation into this ongoing scandal — "Who Killed God's =anker." http://amzn.to/WZCq6c
