Where did the money go?

Roman Catholic bishops in Australia are to formally request that the Pope launches an investigation into how A$2.3 billion (£1.3 billion) was transferred from the Vatican to Australia over six years without their knowledge. The Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference said that it was “astonished at the scale of the transfers” from the Holy See’s secretariat of state between 2014 and this year. No Australian Catholic, diocese, charity, religious order or church entity received any of the billions of dollars, according to Mark Coleridge, Archbishop of Brisbane and the president of the Conference.
