Rumble in Rome

If the Roman Catholic Church hasn't had enough grief recently - priests molesting children and problems with the Church's bank - now they've got more trouble in Rome. See the Reuters article about the arrest of the Pope's butler and the removal of the president of the Vatican's bank, more formally known as the Institute for Works of Religion.

As a student of bureaucratic organizations, I admire the Church's ability to flourish for over two millennia. I wonder what (if anything) Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal, a frequent commenter on the condition of the Church, will have to say about this new nastiness?
