Abstract – This paper analyses the reform process of Pope Benedict and Pope Francis in order to Vatican financial system by a normative approach. Although in a formal manner Vatican City is not a member of European Union, since 2000 Vatican City adheres to European financial system and it has the same duties of other State members in financial matters. So thanks to the relationship with European Union, Vatican City State is working for adapting itself to the principles of transparency and honesty of international market. The reform process of Pope Francis is not finished yet, because it touches the matters of idolatry of money and social imbalance.
