That isn't true, that article is written in scandalismongering styles by someone knowing anything of Italian matter. I wonder why they forgot to say Pope John Paul I has been contagioned , person organization REd brigade was a puppy of Cia etc Banco Ambrosiano was owned by a famous italian financer called roberto calvi also said the il cobra. The financial branch of Vatican run by the Austrian cardinal Marcinkus and called euphemistically IOR ( Isbreastuto per le Opere Religiose ) kept its money in that bank. Banco Ambrosiano being a private bank provided high performance compared to state banks ( at that time 99% of Italian BAnks were owned by State or better by IRI a state holding ).
Concerned by rumors of lack of liquid buttet IOR retired all its money from this bank with the conseguence the bank went in a state of insolvency ( hope you know banks have only less than 30% of its buttet available for cash ) and after in bankrupcy. Despite bankrupcy there weren't conseguence for bank clients since Italian state covered losses at taxpayer expences and a new bank wsa found Il Nuovo Banco Ambrosiano.
It's probably Calvi was linked to some mafia organizations and financed by them since someone hang him under black friars bridge in London whit 2 bricks in his pockets, thsi si a liquidate in mafia stylre. But I don't think Vatican didn't taht organizations very happy provoking their bank bankrupcy.

About mafia money laundring no need to ask to vatican, Swiss banks do this with great pleasure. Swiss didn't want to join the EU to preserve its unethical bank regulation.
