In Bed With the Mafia
The Vatican had long had cozy ties with the mafia and after the war it was involved in a number of criminal conspiracies. Its secretive Vatican bank is beyond the reach of anyone except the Pope and is used for laundering billions of dollars each year in criminal funds. The infamous BCCI scandal exposed a money laundering operation conducted by the mafia, the CIA and the Catholic Church. Pedophile Priests Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of children have been sexually abused by Catholic priests. The abuse has been an integral part of church culture and has actively been encouraged and supported by the Vatican, Cardinals and Bishops. Auditors for the Roman Catholic Church reported that in 2004 there were 1,092 new sexual abuse charges filed involving 756 priests, most all involved children. This brought the total to 11,750 US cases for the period of 1950 through 2004, still a fraction of the number of actual cases since most of the victims have never come forward. The auditors only covered US churches and only got voluntarily submitted information.
