As much as this kind of thing irritates me, I also have to admit it fascinates me no end how the Vatican can reassert it's financial independence under 'duly' elected popes.  JPII's first big task was completely taking over the IOR.  EPBenedict cleans that mess up enough to make that kind of independent secret power somewhat impractical, but magically here comes Francis, who has transferred that unending necessary secret power to Peter's Pence.  Francis is acting more and more like the second coming of JPII.
