The Vatican, Known for Secrecy, Opens Its Doors In Effort Towards Transparency (Main Forum)

Opps, sorry, ;-) the headline should have read:

The Vatican Bank, Known For Secrecy, Opens Its Doors In Effort Towards Transparency!

Mind you the story is still a 'cracker'!

It couldn't have been about the ACTUAL Vatican because:

In his first ever news conference, Cipriani said that his aim in coming before reporters was to "remove the veil and shadow of the past and do the utmost to respect the needs of the Holy See."

And in a shock revelation!

However, TV cameras and recording devices were barred, and Cipriani didn't take spontaneous questions from reporters. Instead the Vatican spokesman selected some that had been previously submitted and posed them to Cipriani, an affable, fast-talking Italian who nevertheless seemed a bit overwhelmed by the whole encounter.

Sounds like Benny on the Papal plane!
