(updates previous with more quotes) Vatican City, July 31 – The Vatican bank, formally known as the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), has launched a new Internet site where it will publish its annual balance sheet, the head of the Vatican Bank, Ernst von Freyberg, told Vatican Radio Wednesday. “Our task is to run IOR in a way that it can respond to international norms, that it is a clean institute and one of service,” von Freyberg said. The bank’s head also said that new measures were aimed at giving Pope Francis “an option to decide the right formula for IOR”.
