CWN Editor's Note: Australian police have announced that they have found no evidence of criminal activity in a series of Vatican financial transfers to Australia. The transfers, originally estimated to approach $2 billion, had prompted suggestions of scandal—especially when Australian bishops said that they had not received the funds. However, Australian authorities later said that the estimates were badly mistaken, and the transfers were of far smaller sums. The purpose of the transfers has still not been fully explained.
