J.P. Morgan Chase to close Vatican accounts

J.P. Morgan Chase to close Vatican accounts



After going through the timeline of the attacks on the Catholic Church that date back prior to his inauguration, Glenn told listeners about the latest attack–the closing of the Vatican bank accounts.

“Just by pure coincidence,” Glenn said sarcastically, “J.P. Morgan Chase closes the Vatican’s bank accounts—this happened yesterday, due to a lack of transparency.”

Glenn continued to explain that the accounts are being “phased out” by J.P. Morgan Chase, and will be closed by March 30th, because the Vatican failed to provide sufficient information on their money transfers.

“Wow,” Glenn said, “That’s an audacious plan.The attack on religion is relentless. Pray for the Catholic Church. Shore them every way you possibly can. Stand with them.”

Must agree. The attack on any group that is deemed Christian is relentless.

Although I do not agree with the Catholic doctrine at all, I do agree and support their right to religious freedom with no interference with our government, especially the current occupant of the WH and his devoted minions.

For more information (and some background details to further explore), read this Reuters article...

U.S. adds Vatican to money-laundering 'concern' list | Reuters

If I'm reading it right, we put ourselves on the "most concerned" list...

Actually, the U.S. has always had concerns and been vulnerable to money laundering schemes merely by the opportunities that cash deposits, exchange houses, drug dealing and businesses used as fronts give to the perpetrators.

The irony of the Vatican's involvement is that the Vatican claims to be God's exclusive representative church on earth. However, as the saying goes, "By their fruits..." (Matthew 7:16-20)
