Maybe They Could Sell A Few Gold Plated Churches ...

Vatican on the brink of bankruptcy due to dramatic decline in global donations under Pope Francis’ leadership.
(As much as Democrats and the liberal left love Satan and Communism, LGBTQ+ABC?, ‘immigration’ and perversion, you’d think they’d be pouring money by the pallet into Pope Francis’ coffers.)
The Vatican, the spiritual and administrative heart of the Catholic Church, faces an unprecedented financial crisis, with reports suggesting it is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
A combination of plummeting revenues, disillusioned donors, and mismanagement under Pope Francis has left the institution struggling to meet its pension obligations, Daily Express reported.
In 2023, the Vatican reported an operating deficit of $87 million, an increase of $5.3 million from the previous year. The shortfall stems largely from a dramatic decline in global donations from the Catholic faithful and the broader public.
Donations, historically a cornerstone of the Vatican’s revenue, have dwindled as many Catholics express discontent with Pope Francis’ progressive reforms.
The pontiff’s controversial stance on issues like climate change, immigration, transgender agenda, and the redefinition of family values has alienated many devout Catholics.
Donations from churches and individual believers have dwindled as traditionalists express frustration with the Vatican’s drift toward secular progressivism.

  1. 2nd largest land holder in the world - you'd think they could sell a few plots of land here and there and cover that shortfall. Or, as you suggested, sell off some of those gold knick-knacks they got laying around. Almost anything to avoid actually re-reading the Bible and trying to live by God's word.

    1. AMEN Don. I'm not Catholic and if I were when I went into one of those gold laced shrines they call churches, just looking around would be enough to convince me that they didn't need my money. They could melt down a couple of candlesticks.
