CWN Editor's Note: The latest testimony in the Vatican’s landmark financial-misconduct trial has included charges of spying, payoffs, personal vendettas, conspiracy, and even one claim that a prelate had drugged a key witness.
Cardinal Angelo Becciu, the focus of the most dramatic accusations, responded by quoting from what he said were private email exchanges between himself and Pope Francis, to undermine the claims of his accusers.
