I, for one, would never invest one cent in such bonds or any similar ones.

Of course. When it comes to money, too many Maltese people are willing to throw values out the window.

But then it seems financial decisions by these religious orders are not taken in Malta. Behaviour remains unethical nevertheless.

That isn’t the point. This is about the Catholic Church and ethical investment.

But I’m glad of your comment, because it illustrates, perfectly, while an organised boycott of any skyscraper bond will fail.

People think as you do.

The bond was paid on time (or even before I don’t remember) and the apartments are now worth minimum 50% more especially those that where bought during construction.

There is no reason why he should have known.

Don’t tell me he didn’t know the relation between the Mother Superiour and her brother Alfred Mifsud.
