Yep, they were one of the pillars of operation gladio. The vatican bank was one of the principle money launderers for the CIA's drug-running and terrorism operations. One of their assets, Marsinkus, even killed a pope in the 70s over threatening to expose it.

I got a loan at the Vatican Bank and to my surprise they do not forgive debts. In fact, they're fairly inquisitive about them.
