In the early 1990's, investigative journalist Leo Sisti had a private audience with Bishop Di Bonis concerning the many unanswered irregularities in the Vatican Bank.  At one point, DiBonis moved to a window, his back to Sisti. Replied the Bishop:  “We have two thousand years of history behind us,” he said, pointing at the square in front of them. “There are some who tried to poison or discredit the Vatican…like an English writer a century ago. But who remembers his name? He’s been removed from people’s memories. We, on the other hand, are still here.”
