Vatican can't take credit card paymentsBy Mark Thompson, CNN Money (CNN) – If you're planning on visiting the Vatican any time soon, take plenty of cash for tickets and souvenirs. Vatican museums and shops have been unable to accept credit or debit card payments since Jan. 1, after the Bank of Italy prevented Deutsche Bank from providing the service due to concerns about financial oversight in the city-state, sources familiar with the matter told CNNMoney. The world's smallest state is home to the Pope and such popular tourist sites as St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, attracting some 5 million visitors per year. The Vatican has taken several steps in recent years to improve its record on banking supervision. But a report last year by Moneyval - an independent group of European experts - found it was still falling short of international standards to tackle money laundering and other financial crimes.

WESTREN DEMOCRACY
HANDY WORK OF HINDU JEW’S, HINDUISM,
RACISM IN DECEPTION
Word Jew is based on Hebrew word Yehood, YE, self, Hood, centered or habitat, conjoined with hindu, pagan, secular belief of universe be creator of itself and universe be the lord and god of the humanity., as in Ra Ben hood, the path blessing of the habitat, universe.
Word hindu is based on Latin word hindered, negative, HUN, to be great, HAN, to be in greatness, hin, to be negative to both of them. Hindu, as a noun in negativity, Hinduism, way or WAY of negativity. Hindu’s out law’s were called hindu’s deniers of truth absolute, based on Arabic and Latin word HANOOD, meaning self centered, in denial of truth absolute ALLAH, essence of existence, NO ONE CAN DO WITHOUT PROVEN BY SCIENCE. Hindu is not a word for something positive, but identification of their way of life in negativity, a designation to identify Hinduism, negativity by nature of their belief, but adopted by hindu’s, ignorant as designation to identify their faith in Hinduism, negativity. Hinduism denial of truth absolute is also known by other word’ such as Atheist, from word Ethos, secular, Lucifer, Devil , demon, Shaitan and pig. Pig being a word based on Persian, hindu corruption of language of truth Latin, from word Panja, a claw as symbol of power, displayed on top of temple’s, dungeon’s of Hinduism, illegality of hindu Mithraism, pagan savior ism and celebrated as Sinco de Mayo and punj tan, but in reality constellation of five stars, worshipped as god’s, pointed to align Pyramids of hindu secular Pharaoh’s.
Western democracy is Hinduism corruption of teachings of Islam, nothing of their own, but corruption of way of truth absolute, THEEN ALLAH over time. Hinduism absurdity of Roman and Greek democracy is nothing but hinduism, a myth, propagated to make hindu, uncivilized societies as Islamic, civilized
In reality, only one percent of upper class of Hinduism, cast system, known as Brahman in hindered, gutter ROM, were considered to be human being, rest of the 99 % of the population was divided in to sub class, up to gentiles, salves, having no right to vote, but serve their masters, as is the case in hindered gutter of Hinduism, racism india, Hinduism, illegality by faith.
, .
Over time citizens, under class wanted to be free from Hinduism, racism of upper (BRAHMAN) class to be human, first they were granted limited freedom, and allowed to be elected to lower house, only to deal with problems of underclass, but only by blessings of hindu, butcher King and his hindu Prophet, criminal fortune teller man god, based on fundamental of Pharaoh’s, trinity, divide of truth absolute 360 degrees between two hindu, ignorant men as god’s of humanity and followed by followers of hindu Mithraism, savior ism called Christianity, along with son’s of god, the aristocrats, called upper house of lord’s,
Only after conquest of other land’s and massive migration to other continent by underclass citizens, having filled their coffers with looted wealth, including drug dealing’s by hindu criminal royalty, such as war with china to addict nation of china with opium by force against wishes of government of china by hindu crook King of England, hindu criminal King’s of hindu pagan Europe decided to allow underclass citizens to have some breathing space by labeling it Democracy, meaning power of Choice, but they kept, right of finial decision and land property sole right of Hindu criminal Throne till today. Such as hindu criminal queen of England, owns land of England as her sole property, and every inhabitant has no more right than a tenant, also known as hari. Democracy, freedom of choice, but only in name.
Much touted bill of rights by hindu imperial west and their hindu gentile, secular slaves of, still colonized countries, such as Pakistan is nothing more than hindu corrupted form of bill of rights granted by theen Allah, way of truth absolute, hind perverted by hindu Jew’s, criminal secular s, pretending to be Israelite, but hindu’s deniers of truth absolute Allah of Egyptian and Persian origin.
AS ALLAH THE MERCIFUL HIMSELF COMMANDED, IN HIS ADDRESS TO WHOLE HUMANITY ‘I GAVE YOU THE AUTHORUTY AND YOU THANK ME NOT’ PHYSICALLY DEMONSTRATED BY SYEDANS MOHAMMAD, RAM OF NEBUAT PBH, IN HIS LAST SERMON, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LA. TRUTH ABSOLUTE BY RACE CLOR OR CREED, BUT EVERY ONE INCLUDING HIMSELF IS SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION FOR MISS DEED’S ON PERSONAL LEVEL NO ONE HAS EVER, SINCE THE TIME OF KNOWN HISTORY OF HUMANITY, AT ANY TIME, HAS LIVED BY, ADVOCATED AND APPLIED, SO CLEARLY AND LOUDLY, BILL OF RIGHT’S GRANTED BY ALLAH THE MERCIFUL RECORDED IN THEEN ALLAH, WAY OF TRUTH ABSOLUTE, ALSO KNOWN AS SHARIA E MOHAMMAD PBH, MEANING FORMED IN PATH OF SPIRIT OF TRUTH, MESSENGER OF ALLAH, TRUTH ABSOLUTE.
.
Muslim’s, need not to be fooled by Hinduism trickery of hindu pundit’s criminal tricksters of the western democracy, based on hindu Judaism, criminal secular ism, with never ending excuses to justify their Hinduism, illegality, as has been the case with believers’ of hindu Judaism,
Don't worry everyone, the vatican will find new and creative ways to launder money for the mob and to enrich itself.
I am sure they will get around to selling absolutions again.
What a great way to make money.
Sell fools the idea that some dead family member can be bought into heaven.
See, the catholic church was into creative ways to make money even back in the dark ages.
When you get people to believe in magic, there is no end to how much money you can get out of them.
Now that Mother Teresa is fast-tracked for sainthood, maybe they will "resurrect" her. That broad managed to squeeze Charles Keating for $1.25M. Just imagine how much money a zombified Mother Teresa could raise!
I won't be shocked if they embalm her and pull her out at fundraisers so the sheep can take their picture with her, for a fee of course.
Maybe the Jackson family will embalm Michael and the two of them can go around and make more money together.
For one low price you can get your picture taken with the King of Pop and the Queen of Poop.
I suppose they'll have to start taking funds via PayPal. They can carry around an iPhone with a mobile payment dongle. The iphone wallpaper will be Mother Teresa tastefully semi-glad-handing the poor (she wouldn't want to actually touch them).

I think this dude is Lionly Lambs speech therapist!
Second least literate poster of all time!!
for a hindu, ignorant in hinduism, denial of truth absolute.
Don't know Will, but he may be a linguistic genious.
Think about it, one would have to be very creative to come up with all that off the cuff like he does.
None of it is the same, so it is not just reposted postings from before.
He has a pretty good schtick going, and I tend to believe that he is pretty smart and it is all a clever act.
Or he is just insane.
this guy is schizophrenic tard
Ha, ha, ha, hindu's, ignorant's, smart with hindu ignorant opinions, but hind short on education ,knowledge. gentiles, slaves of their hindu souls, ignorant desires.
'Ignorant desires'
Great turn of phrase!
" report last year by Moneyval – an independent group of European experts – found it was still falling short of international standards to tackle money laundering and other financial crimes."
the whole church scheme to fleece money from the sheep is a financial crime. religion - the biggest business in the world.
You got that right funkybooty.
Religion;
The biggest, longest running and most lucrative ponzi scheem ever invented.
The amount of cash they've fleeced is staggering especially if you factor in the real estate they own.
Everyone knows there's no such thing as the mafia outside Hollywood imaginations. As for the rest of this commentary, I'd find less manure mucking stalls that reading this.
I beg to differ with you on that Chickie.
My old man has a house in Sicily. It was passed down to him and has been mostly empty for many years.
It was in a place that back in the day was just considered worthless scrubland.
Fast foreward 40 years, and that worthless scrubland has become a triving tourist area as the beaches are really nice.
The mafia is trying to steal his house as we speak.
I won't bore you with the details, but they are alive and well and still around.
Just not like how Hollywood makes them out to be.
"Everyone" knows this? Lol.
Try changing your underwear once in a while, maybe the manure smell won't be so bad.
I guess this is sarcasam?
Come walk Mullberry with me and learn a little my silly freind
Lol. "Everybody knows".
Okay, then who is the Vatican laundering money for? Lol.
Forse tuo padre non capisce come negoziare un affare.
Of course there's organized crime. Chickie must be an Italian who is trying to battle stereotypes.
I encourage you to go to ANY Italian newspaper website and search "mafia."

Let's not jump to comclusions here.
We all know the RCC has a history of turning all offenders over to local authorities.
Along with all proof of any illegal activity.

Just another nail in the RCC coffin!!!
Hey, my man Reality made it to the new year!
I would have thought Ratzingers Hit Men would have eliminated you ages ago!
But a word of advice dude, don't take this stuff to seriously this year, you will give yourself a heart attack!
And Reality
In the future, your Great Great Grandchild will say he can't be sure Mickey Mouse was God, but that he could be sure Mickey Mouse really existed because he had a partial comic book that referenced him.
Hee as well, would be wrong!
Reality, believe it or not, you nonbelievers are right on course for what has been written thousands of years ago ... that being ushering in the antichrist for your non belief.
I don't believe it – there is no god and no anti-christ unless that is a form of antipasta.
George
The Anti-Christ??
Like for real? I mean you actually believe that drivel?
George, your persecution complex is showing.
In regards to ancient wisdom:
"The Two Universal Sects
They all err—Moslems, Jews,
Christians, and Zoroastrians:
Humanity follows two world-wide sects:
One, man intelligent without religion,
The second, religious without intellect. "

, born AD 973 /, died AD 1058 / .
Al-Ma’arri was a blind Arab philosopher, poet and writer.[1][2] He was a controversial rationalist of his time, attacking the dogmas of religion and rejecting the claim that Islam possessed any monopoly on truth."

WHY I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN Bertrand Russell 1928
From Professors Crossan and Watts' book, Who is Jesus.
"That Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate, as the Creed states, is as certain as anything historical can ever be.
“ The Jewish historian, Josephus and the pagan historian Tacitus both agree that Jesus was executed by order of the Roman governor of Judea. And is very hard to imagine that Jesus' followers would have invented such a story unless it indeed happened.
“While the brute fact that of Jesus' death by crucifixion is historically certain, however, those detailed narratives in our present gospels are much more problematic. "
“My best historical reconstruction would be something like this. Jesus was arrested during the Passover festival, most likely in response to his action in the Temple. Those who were closest to him ran away for their own safety.
I do not presume that there were any high-level confrontations between Caiaphas and Pilate and Herod Antipas either about Jesus or with Jesus. No doubt they would have agreed before the festival that fast action was to be taken against any disturbance and that a few examples by crucifixion might be especially useful at the outset. And I doubt very much if Jewish police or Roman soldiers needed to go too far up the chain of command in handling a Galilean peasant like Jesus. It is hard for us to imagine the casual brutality with which Jesus was probably taken and executed. All those "last week" details in our gospels, as distinct from the brute facts just mentioned, are prophecy turned into history, rather than history remembered."
See also Professor Crossan's reviews of the existence of Jesus in his other books especially, The Historical Jesus and also Excavating Jesus (with Professor Jonathan Reed doing the archeology discussion) .
Other NT exegetes to include members of the Jesus Seminar have published similar books with appropriate supporting references.
Part of Crossan's The Historical Jesus has been published online at books.google.com/books.
There is also a search engine for this book on the right hand side of the opening page. e.g. Search Josephus
See also Wikipedia's review on the historical Jesus to include the Tacitus' reference to the crucifixion of Jesus.
From ask.com,
"One of the greatest historians of ancient Rome, Cornelius Tacitus is a primary source for much of what is known about life the first and second centuries after the life of Jesus. His most famous works, Histories and Annals, exist in fragmentary form, though many of his earlier writings were lost to time. Tacitus is known for being generally reliable (if somewhat biased toward what he saw as Roman immorality) and for having a uniquely direct (if not blunt) writing style.
Then there are these scriptural references:
Crucifixion of Jesus:(1) 1 Cor 15:3b; (2a) Gos. Pet. 4:10-5:16,18-20; 6:22; (2b) Mark 15:22-38 = Matt 27:33-51a = Luke 23:32-46; (2c) John 19:17b-25a,28-36; (3) Barn. 7:3-5; (4a) 1 Clem. 16:3-4 (=Isaiah 53:1-12); (4b) 1 Clem. 16.15-16 (=Psalm 22:6-8); (5a) Ign. Mag. 11; (5b) Ign. Trall. 9:1b; (5c) Ign. Smyrn. 1.2.- (read them all at wiki.faithfutures. Crucifixion org/index.php/005_Crucifixion_Of_Jesus )

The Apostles'/Agnostics' Creed 2013: (updated by yours truly and based on the studies of historians and theologians of the past 200 years)
Should I believe in a god whose existence cannot be proven
and said god if he/she/it exists resides in an unproven,
human-created, spirit state of bliss called heaven??
I believe there was a 1st century CE, Jewish, simple,
preacher-man who was conceived by a Jewish carpenter
named Joseph living in Nazareth and born of a young Jewish
girl named Mary. (Some say he was a mamzer.)
Jesus was summarily crucified for being a temple rabble-rouser by
the Roman troops in Jerusalem serving under Pontius Pilate,
He was buried in an unmarked grave and still lies
a-mouldering in the ground somewhere outside of
Jerusalem.
Said Jesus' story was embellished and "mythicized" by
many semi-fiction writers. A descent into Hell, a bodily resurrection
and ascension stories were promulgated to compete with the
Caesar myths. Said stories were so popular that they
grew into a religion known today as Catholicism/Christianity
and featuring dark-age, daily wine to blood and bread to body rituals
called the eucharistic sacrifice of the non-atoning Jesus.
Amen

Secrete of number 666, otherwise known as trinity. foundation of hinduism, racism.
Truth absolute = 360*. 360/2. 180* half of good hood owner ship of hindu crook King, and other half owner ship of his hindu crook Prophet, fortune teller hindu sanatan, filthy goon, as a man god, 180/ 3= 666, the way of hindu Jew, criminal secular, son of hindu Lucifer, denier of truth absolute, self centered, atheist.
How will Vatican priests pay for their internet porn and child prostitutes? With cash straight from the offering plates!
They can still use silver pieces, can they ?
You bet, Angel Moronic. The virgin boys are 30 pieces or two for 50 pieces. Used boys are BOGO.
The sheeple must have gotten tired of trying to figure out what "Quid est proprium tuum identificatio numerum?" means at the Vatican ATMs.
Do NOT use 666 as your PIN number, or the dudes with the battle axes will decapitate you!
I thought 666 was Herr Ratzinger's PIN.
expect nothing better from source of hinduism, corruption of truth absolute, cause of Mayhem among humanity, hindu's criminals pretending to be gods, claimants of god hood by divide of truth absolute, having no respect for rest of the humanity, because they claim to be hindu sanatns, filthy goons, assistant to truth absolute god, while on earth to rule over humanity and to be GOD, themselves after their death.
When confronting an atheist type like demouth or any others it is best to first recognize that atheism is born in a lie and perpetuated by mass murder. Putting atheism in its proper context allows normal people the wisdom to know the unspeakable filth that atheism represents.
Let me guess, your momma was drinkin while she carried you?
When confronting a troll type like truth be told or any others it is best to first recognize that a troll is born in a lie and perpetuated by mass murder. Putting trolls in its proper context allows normal people the wisdom to know the unspeakable filth that trolls represent.
Like MAD libs, in a way...
@truth be told,
What supposed lie would that be?
Also, how is Atheism "perpetuated" by mass murder?
I'd like to again apologize for being such a turd. Sorry.
William Demuth, you make fun of others mothers but believe that you slithered from the oceans depths then erected to swing from trees. Talk about the whoopers of fairy tales.
George
Its obvious no one explained, but it is the FATHER who gets erected, not the mother.
News flash for you curious George, but Will has heaps of evidence that we in fact did evolve from ocean creature and share the same ancestor as animals that do swing in trees.
Whatchu got?
Oh yeah, your 2000 year old book of magic spells.
When you get a sec, maybe you can post a bit of evidence for you god hypothesis.
tbt is still yapping like a mouthy little gash. bark, little doggie
Plus one important note:
The Vatican bank has been embroiled in SERIOUS banking scandals
The reason they can't pass the standard is because they are one step above La Cosa Nostra.
They are criminals, pure and simple
The RCC has been in bed with the mafia forever. Vatican Bank president Father Paul Marcinkus resigned when the RCC's ties to the mafia were exposed and was a suspect in several "mysterious" deaths, including that of pope John Paul I. Of course he was never indicted for any crime, successfully claimed diplomatic immunity and returned to the Archdiocese of Chicago before being assigned to an assistant pastor position at a church in Arizona. The RCC treated him like they treat pedophile priests – deny, reassign, ignore.
Although the RCC paid back about $200M to creditors, Marcinkus remained unapologetic, stating, "You can't run the church on Hail Marys". He later claimed to have been misquoted.
Yes, quite true!.
I believe the general idea of it was actually the basis for the last Godfather film
I believe the old term was once "gauche"
The RCC sponsors it altar boy buggery through the sale of tacky chachkis!!
The junk is probably painted with lead paint and made by slave labor in China
What an pathetic faith it is!
How could they pass up the ti.tle of "No Faith in Vatican"?
The fact that the Vatican has a gift shop should tell you how evil this religion is. Either you are in a holy place or Disneyland. It can't be both.
What trip to the holy land is complete without your very own necklace featuring a dead guy hanging from some perpendicular wooden beams? It's too groovy to pass up!
Nice picture of overpriced tourist trash and yet the sheepies but that crap.
While completely ignoring that many of the representatives are little kid ass bandits.
I lost respect for the RCC years ago because of their hypocrisy.
