Vatican court orders partial retrial in ‘trial of the century’ finance case – EWTN News, March 17, 2026. The Vatican Court of Appeal ordered a partial retrial in the London property case, citing “relative nullity” due to procedural flaws from four secret papal decrees by “Pope” Francis. The original trial convicted Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu and nine others, sentencing them to over 37 years in prison and 200 million euros in damages. The ruling does not overturn convictions but requires evidence refiling by April 30, leaving prior verdicts formally intact. This case, stemming from a 350-million-pound investment with 139-million-euro losses, reveals the post-conciliar Vatican’s descent into secular corruption, utterly incompatible with the integral Catholic faith.
