VATICAN CITY, Feb 18 (Reuters) – A commission looking into the Vatican bank briefed Pope Francis and top cardinals on its findings on Tuesday ahead of a papal decision about what to do with the institution that has embarrassed the Holy See for decades.
The Vatican commission, which the pope set up in June, gave Francis and his eight-member advisory board of cardinals from around the world a three-hour briefing.
Afterward, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said no decisions on the bank’s future had been taken.
He said the commission gave the pope and the cardinals an “ample and detailed” report on the current and past situation of the bank, and had offered “several possible indications” on its future.
Lombardi would not give any details. “We are waiting for indications from the pope,” Lombardi said.
