This sounds like something one would order if everything was hunky-dorey.

Maybe if they preached Catholicism instead of “climate change” ...

It’s always about the money.

Always.

The Vatican ( that is Vatican City and its swollen staff, many offices, etc.) made most of its money from the Vatican Museums and tourism...which are gone or seriously reduced now.

Tourism was already declining because nobody wanted to go to see Bergoglio, but the closure and the reductions to the museums have really killed it.

And donations to local churches, which had to give a certain percent to Rome, have plunged, partly because they were already dropping under Bergoglio, and partially because people were abandoned by the Church during this horrible shutdown. Frankly, people now have better uses for their money than to give it to some organization that did nothing to preserve things such as the sacraments or the community from the state’s shut down orders.

So at the Vatican, they’re trying to get all their cash back in so they can still keep the lights on.

The Vatican literally SAVED Western Society in the past. Now they’re leading the charge to destroy.

They can rot in hell.

I’m no fan of the Red Pope but in fairness, this at least is something I don’t think can be fairly laid on him. If there is a church anywhere from the village street corner all the way up to national organization, that is not experiencing some kind of financial challenges right now, I’d like to know who they are and how they are managing it.

This is only about the offices at the Vatican, not the entire church.

You can bet the Peter’s Pence Collection is going to be at least 70% off normal and normal was never enough.

According to Wikipedia, The Mexican word güero ultimately originates from the Spanish word huero ("empty"),
therefore, the Jesuit calling for all external funds of Catholic funds is an "empty" suit.
Seems appropriate ... /sarc

With this Marxist clown for a Pope and the Catholics turning their backs on morals who gives a damn if the church goes bankrupt.
