VATICAN CITY
Gazzetta del Sud
Rome, June 3 – Pope Francis is not “letting go” of the Institute of Religious Works (IOR) and is monitoring personally the institution better known as the Vatican bank. After wrapping up his demanding and fruitful visit to the Holy Land, in fact, Bergoglio has plunged back into domestic “affairs”, first and foremost IOR which he has kept as a “bank” while renewing its mission so it is more closely connected to its specific objectives. In particular, ANSA has learned, two high officials recently appointed to their posts who were already working at the bank when Angelo Caloia was president, have been sent into early retirement. Caloia’s successors were Ettore Gotti Tedeschi and currently Ernst Von Freyberg. The early retirements made a big stir behind Vatican walls because they were perceived as a new acceleration into the institute’s reform with the old IOR management being laid off without much warning.
