Godfather III: The real life Vatican Bank Scandal Archbishop?

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse in the media:

…a new Vatican Bank scandal…

By the way, the article mentions the “scandals in the 1970s and 1980s under American Archbishop Paul Marcinku”.

If you’ve seen Godfather III, the banking archbishop who works with the Corleoni’s (in the film, he’s always chain-smoking smokes cigarettes) is supposed to be real-life Archbishop Paul Marcinku who was tied up in the Vatican Bank scandal and rumored to be involved in Pope John Paul I’s death. In Godfather III, he is named “Archbishop Gilday” (see photo above).
