Great interview. I thought i posted this before but after a search it doesn't appear that I did. I wanted to revisit this subject so I went back and watched this. Basically, the Vatican stole the wealth of holocaust victims and funneled it into its banks. This suit was brought on by the victims families. The Vatican did everything in its power not to deal with the case. They spoke about the Vatican's history of money laundering, her political power and its sexual abuse history as well. They brought up a good point about holocaust victims. It wasn't just Jewish people that were killed.
