I wouldn't quite say it's an inaccurate headline, since the true outcome of this proceeding was most likely unpublished. The fact that they are comparing bullion amounts to the Vatican is just used as an accounting measure. The truth is we don't know if this "donation" is truly without strings attached, but merely a ploy to create a safe and seemingly secure agreement in the forefront. It's quite possible the Parliament has agreed to these underdealings and we being the public are not privy to the details of the deal. It's quite possible this was actually carried out, for us to know is of no importance, but just to speculative thinking on our end. Hence ATS.
