I hardly ever put a long video as my Blog.
But this one is very different.
It is a massive insight into the financial corruption of the current Vatican.
It also connects FRANCIS and PETER’S PENCE to that corruption.
Watch it.

What a high and absolute farce! Mr Bean dabbles in the London property market, and, oddly enough, all went according to the worst-possible scenario.🤣
From questionable sourcing of funds through ill-considered real-estate investment to gross contractual oversight by the Vatican. The mind would boggle if it weren’t already roaring with laughter at the slapstick behaviour of these commercial dilettantes.
Still, I don’t believe that there was any ill-intent by Becciu. Did he plot to siphon off Vatican funds from Peter’s Pence for his personal gain in the London property market? This won’t be a popular view, but I suspect that he simply hoped to increase those funds through judicial investment in real estate. Innocent enough, I suppose, and an act of apparent good, if bungling faith; but poor Becciu was clearly out of his depth, like other Vatican figures, in the world of investment mammon.
It wasn’t an easy documentary to follow. The English translation appears auto-generated, like the kind found on YouTube videos. At times, the irritating narration sounded nonsensical. Still, there was enough clarity for me to judge that the Vatican here seems to have been more sinned against than sinning.
Pro-tip: If there’s a next time guys, leave investments to the REAL money experts. Stick to piety and prayers. (You do remember what these are, don’t you? 🤔) The Lord will surely provide… if you allow him to.🤣

I agree with you about Becciu’s competence. Ironic that the experts in humanity mess up investment as well as being unable to predict the effect of trying to keep clerical crime quiet.
I wonder what else they’ve got wrong?

No shit, Jose ? Corruption in the Vatican ? Always has been. Some of those cardinals and Vatican top bosses live very nice lives, all paid for by some grey economy of the Vatican. I think there is very little accountability or transparency, and what little is presented is just a fig leave to cover up what is really happening. I’m afraid that, as with all things with the Church, I find myself unable to believe what I am told, because I no longer have trust or faith in the Church and its apparatchiks. I mean, the lied to us on an industrial scale about sexual abuse of children and the vulnerable. How can we believe them about anything else ?

Me too, and at least 359,000 German ROMAN CATHOLICS.
According to data from the German Roman Catholic bishops’ conference, at least 359,000 Roman Catholics left the Roman Catholic German Church in 2021, a jump from 221,390 in 2020.
But in 2021, 228,000 PROTESTANTS also quit their faith in Germany, up from 60,000 in 2020.12.

Do you have to pay a tithe in Germany?
Taxpayers, whether Roman Catholic, Protestant or members of other tax-collecting communities, pay an amount equal to between 8% (in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg) and 9% (in the rest of the country) of their income tax to the church or other community to which they belong.
So presumably the 2021 Roman Catholics in Germany who have left the church did so formally, thereby discontinuing their tithe to the business.

Vatican financial corruption have been going on since 1980s from David Yallop book.
Rem Calvi, freemasonry and mafia. I was watching movie- godfather part 3 as it reminded me of this.
What was interesting in the video was that beechi or Vatican prelate moved finance out of reach as regards to charity regulator and the IOR.
Therefore no accountability.
Shady deals re percentage of shares and Vatican made a colossal mistake providing a guy worth 200 M into his bank account without concluding a deal. Thus He was only using the Vatican for his own ends.
No due diligence from the vatican as I could gather from the video. I remember my ex lecturer saying he doesn’t trust the Italians.

I wonder has that barely wet behind the ears priest in Brum, Sean Gough, been called in for a little talking to by the VG yet ? He needs to be told to keep his head low and just get on with his work rather than grandstanding. It doesn’t help the message or him. One lesson he probably hasn’t learned yet is that the more you put yourself out there the more you become an interest for others who will find out everything about you. And none of us, including Fr Gough, will want it all put out there, now, would we ? I suspect the VG will be saying as much to him ! Just sharing a bit of wise reality with the young man.

The period before 1978 normalised sexual crimes and sexually-tinted moral and emotional objectively real offences against subordinates and minors. The triple “remedy” was to move in funny money (in a bigger way), make intense sacrament worship compulsory, and deploy back channels widely, thereby quadrupling the ills.
On a completely separate note what do readers think about “reverse money laundering” – ought the police to be interested (it is intended to make rather a lot of work for them)?
The better sort of priests and bishops know what is alluded to by “widely deployed back channels” and they know that we know there is nothing they can do about it. We laity can vote by simply planting our bottoms on the pew during all ceremonies for more than the canonical 1 year and 1 day (unlike in Islam, our mere attending, should we want to, is non-binding). But anyone that “desired” to turn clergy, however decent they were at the time, has got themselves in a pickle.
