Third, the Mormon Church can learn from Pope Francis' attempts to fix the troubled Vatican Bank and adopt greater financial transparency. This is not to suggest that the finances of the Mormon church, prodigious as they obviously are, are mismanaged or share the troubles of the Vatican Bank. Nevertheless, greater transparency in its financial affairs could help the Mormon church rise above any suspicions and false accusations. The church has not publicly disclosed its financial statements since 1959, but if it felt it was acceptable before that, it seems that it could be acceptable again.
