The pope had told a group of employees last October that the accounts do not add up and the economic situation is not good.
You must find a way to save more and to look for other funds because the Holy See cannot continue to help you as it does now.
The message was harsh, but the balance sheets back it up. For example, one of them, that of the Secretariat for the Economy, speaks of a structural deficit and that in 2023 alone 83 and a half million euros were lost.
For situations like this, the Pope has now created a special commission that will be in charge of looking for funds to clean up the balance sheets. It will be made up of five people who will answer for their work directly to the pope.
