It doesn't matter if it's a 747 with 300k pounds or a much smaller plane like a 737 with 65k pounds, I don't believe for a second the Vatican had that much gold.
Also, cargo planes are not maneuverable, whether they have 300,000 pounds of cargo or just 65,000 pounds, Arranging security on the ground is also a pain as you need it on both ends of a trip, so the fewer trips, the less risk.
Then what do you think is the reason why Q mentioned Godfather III so many times?
Because it's a story of how we ultimately end up paying for the sins of the past? I suppose given the context of the thread you are perhaps suggesting that it is related to what a film critic might call the un-involving and convoluted Vatican story arc.
