(Reuters) - Pope Francis, who has said he wants the Catholic Church to be a model of austerity and honesty, could restructure or even close the Vatican's scandal-ridden bank as part of a broad review of its troubled bureaucracy, Vatican sources say.

“Anger at the Italian prelates who mostly run the Curia was one of the reasons that the cardinals chose the first non-European pope for 1,300 years at the conclave and quashed the chances of one of the frontrunners, Milan Archbishop Angelo Scola”

The Pope is acting just like a head of a Church should act.

So far.

Wasn’t it something about the Vatican Bank the did “in” Pope John Paul I?

I would imagine the new Pope needs some prayers of support.

I cannot vouch for the veracity of this information...it's disturbing if Amorth actually said/believes this, disturbing nontheless. There are some older threads about Amorth on FR. Judge for yourself:

Roman exorcist tells Pope to beware a quick death and the Freemasons.
Friday, March 22, 2013

The Roman exorcist Gabriele Amorth said that Pope Francis wanted a "poor church of the poor" like John Paul I. "I would not wish that he ends like Luciani". John Paul I died after only 33 days in the papacy

Father Gabriele Amorth, chief exorcist of the Diocese of Rome has warned the new Pope Francis about a quick death following the fate of Pope John Paul I. "The Masons have their branches everywhere, even in the Vatican, unfortunately," Amorth said in an interview with the Italian newspaper "Il Giornale", which the newspaper "Österreich" online reported.

There’s at least a half-dozen conspiracy theories applied to Pope John Paul I’s death in 1978. I domn’t know that any of them are credible. I don’t think there has ever been an official investigstion.

Hmmm . . . Though it fits his M.O., dumping the papal apartment for general quarters may have been a sage move.
