VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The director and deputy director of the Vatican bank, which is being investigated by a special papal commission, resigned July 1. A statement from the Vatican press office said Director Paolo Cipriani and Deputy director Massimo Tulli offered their resignations "in the best interest of the institute and the Holy See." The statement said Vatican bank President Ernst von Freyberg would assume the function of interim general director, effective immediately.

Terrible that JP II and Benedict let this corruption go on so long. Were these corrupt bank officials so powerful and/or did they use blackmail. Quite interesting that the American Cardinals were insistent that the Vatican bank be cleaned up. How corrupt has it been that even that the American bishops who have fallen short in integrity so much, are calling for a cleanup? Are the American Cardinals driving this reform or did Francis let them in on it? At any rate with the cover-up on pedophilia and the serious scandal at the Vatican bank, will humility finally come to the Vatican and the bishops?. I am still in Francis' corner. Can the man clean house? Many questions. Hopefully the leadership will be the better for it.

Perhaps the bank corruption should come to an end. Remorse, however, may have little to do with it. Weill also acknowledged that the mistakes of the past have tarnished the reputation of big banks in the eyes of regulators and taxpayers. That stain is likely to remain for the foreseeable future. Instead of bucking the trend of increased regulation, Weill and other industry leaders are seeking to create a playing field that is not subject to the full brunt of such restrictions. A playing field that would allow investors to gamble, while simultaneously sparing the taxpayers the burden of their folly should things go south.If you need help with your bank fees, ask for financial aid.

When Pope Francis is finished sorting out the Vatican bank he might come over here and sort our banks out.

The problem is not that TikTok users feel disappointed about the potential loss of an entertaining social platform; it is that many young people see a ban on TikTok as the end of, or at least a major disruption to, their social life.
