he agreed to the deal because michael was willing to pay off the debt. i dont think the archbishop had any intention of going through with the deal. IMO the archbishop was terrified of michael, he played it off like he was behind michael the whole time, i.e. the shareholders meeting the where the archbishop says that vatican can trust michael with full control of immobliare. now the archbishop has michael in his trust, but how to take his money without losing his trust and putting his own life on the hand.
the only vote that truly matters for michael's complete control "sudenly" falls ill a few days before he was supposed grant michael full control of immobliare. lucchessi and his men have their money and the church probably still would have been in debt if michael wouldnt have survived the attempt on his life and the other don's by lucchessi's "muscle" in new york.....zasa.
