Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

With the theatre of corruption which is the daily news from the Vatican, one has to pause sometime and laugh, which is what you may do when you read the former cardinal’s protestations that he has always worked for the Church and never robbed a penny, followed by the prosecuting attorney’s request that the perp’s 11 million euro be confiscated.

And yes, an honest Cardinal would not have 14 million of euro in his personal bank account, because as a man of God he must have surely heard the Gospel on the works of mercy, at least once in his lifetime.
