The scandalous Vatican-Banco Ambrosiano affair continues to captivate the world, and the latest issue of the popular Italian Catholic magazine, Familia Cristiana, is about to make some groundbreaking revelations. In this Sunday’s edition, the magazine will shed light on several key aspects of the case that were previously unknown.
The Vatican’s Role in the Ambrosiano Crisis
One of the most shocking revelations concerns the current Minister of Treasury, Nino Andreatta, who, according to insider information, made not one, not two, but four visits to the Vatican just days before Easter of 1981. Andreatta, a devout Catholic and member of the Christian Democratic Party, pleaded with the Vatican to abandon Roberto Calvi, the chairman of Banco Ambrosiano. Secret reports received by the minister indicated that the bank was on the verge of collapse, and Andreatta wanted the Vatican’s support. Sadly, the advisors at the Vatican bank could do nothing but express their helplessness, citing legal barriers preventing them from intervening. It was only a year later, after Calvi’s lifeless body was found hanging from a London bridge, that the Vatican finally took action.
The Vatican Bank’s Connection to the Ambrosiano Affair
Familia Cristiana further reports that Banco Ambrosiano directly loaned the Vatican bank an astounding sum of 24,000 million pesetas. The magazine raises the hypothesis that Roberto Calvi exploited his connections within the Vatican to deceive the world into believing that the Vatican fully endorsed his actions. Additionally, the article questions the role that Freemasonry might have played in this sordid saga.
Exclusive Interview with a Vatican Bank Insider
Accompanying these revelations, Familia Cristiana has secured an exclusive interview with a high-ranking official from the Vatican bank who requested anonymity. In the interview, the insider asserts that any mistakes made by the Vatican were merely the result of “naivety, carelessness, or kindness,” insisting that Cardinal Marcinkus, who has been accused of being a fraudster by many newspapers, was, in fact, a victim of deceit himself. The interviewee adds that there has been no international backlash against the Vatican bank, but rather a noticeable increase in activity, reaffirming its dedication to serving the universal Church.
Familia Cristiana continues to be at the forefront of uncovering the secrets behind the Ambrosiano case, offering unparalleled insights into this scandal that has shaken the Vatican and the financial world. Stay tuned for more updates as this gripping story unfolds.
