The Holy Alliance, later 'The Entity', a secret spy service, has been used by the Vatican for over five centuries to execute its will. Forty popes have relied on it to carry out their policies. This is the tale of this sacred secret service and its involvement in the killings of monarchs, poisonings of diplomats, financing of South American dictators, protection of war criminals, laundering of mafia money, manipulation of financial markets, provocation of bank failures, and financing arms sales to combatants even as their wars were condemned, all in the name of God.
