Just something I read on Youtube.


The Vatican bank the IOR laundered the mafia drug money but never controlled the heroin traffick,yes there was Marcinkus and other rogue priest but the rest of bishops and cardinals in Italy would never touch the drugs,because was more easy to launder money and take a bribe.
