God's Bankers
Mar. 24th, 2015 08:24 am"Popes come and go, but the Curia goes on forever."
-- Vatican motto
A new book on the old corruption of the Catholic Church: "God's Bankers" by Gerald Posner. The Curia is the Church bureaucracy. Posner exercises the old injunction to follow the money. I am especially fond of the quote from one of the Vatican's more notorious bankers, Paul Marcinkus, “You can’t run the church on Hail Marys.”
