    Cardinal Parolin says church divisions stem from misunderstanding ‘reform’

    Vatican can’t blame the media for spin cycles around Becciu

    • Apr 4, 2021

    If you stand on a balcony and chuck a brick over the side, and that brick ends up hitting somebody in the street, it’s no defense to blame the law of gravity. Similarly, if you build a PR bomb and take no steps to defuse it, you don’t get to blame the media for the blast.

    With latest shakeup, has the music stopped on Vatican financial reform?

    • Dec 29, 2020

    Pope Francis has taken away away the power of the purse from the Secretariat of State, traditionally the Vatican’s 800-pound gorilla, and transferred it to the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA), the Vatican’s central bank. At the same time, he beefed up the oversight role of the Secretariat for the Economy.
