A rare book only found online and sent by a reader details the complexities and diabolical nature of the Vatican’s finances.

Published in 2003, Dr. Monsenor Rafael Rodriguez Guillen’s book, entitled The Vatican’s Finances, takes a deep and dark look at the biggest money lending operation in the world, looking closely at the finances of the Vatican Band and the Holy See.

In the introduction, Guillen says:

“The Vatican has so far been less than totally frank.” That is to say, the Vatican has never ever been frankly honest, open or permitted an independent audit of her finances, which are only known unto this day by the scandals and abuses of power wherein her personages have been involved, and the money launders of their banks.”

Here is a portion of the book and the rest can be found online and will soon be posted on this web site:
