"VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican was shaken by a corruption scandal Thursday after an Italian television investigation said a former top official had been transferred against his will after complaining about irregularities in awarding contracts.
...
"As deputy governor of the Vatican City for two years from 2009 to 2011, [Carlo Maria] Vigano was the number two official in a department responsible for maintaining the tiny city-state's gardens, buildings, streets, museums and other infrastructure.
"Vigano, currently the Vatican's ambassador in Washington, said in the letters that when he took the job in 2009 he discovered a web of corruption, nepotism and cronyism linked to the awarding of contracts to outside companies at inflated prices." [1]
It can reasonably be assumed that this "web of corruption, nepotism and cronyism" has been on-going for decades, even during Pope John Paul II's papacy, and John Paul II is on a fast track to sainthood?
The church needs to be saved from these sinful, sinful popes.
