The bank - formally known as the Institute for Works of Religion or IOR - has suffered the ignominy of having one of its accounts closed by JP Morgan after stone-walling requests for information. The sanction came less than two weeks after the U.S. State Department listed the Vatican as being potentially vulnerable to money laundering. A Milan affiliate of JP Morgan said it will shut the account by the end of the month after revealing Vatican bankers had been "unable to respond" to requests for details about payments into the account. The scandal prompted the Vatican bank to initiate anti-money-laundering legislation, which is currently being debated by the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy. Yup - debate morality - that's always good PR.	SurferJoe46 (51)

They also had money invested in a condom factory.	mikebartnz (21)
