Vatican Releases 2 Financial Statements in Effort to be More Transparent | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis has long said he wants the Church to be more transparent. To that end, the Vatican recently released two important financial statements. The first document is the Holy See's financial statement for 2021, which shows a deficit of more than $3 million. That is better than the projected $34 million. The other report is for a section of the Vatican. It shows that despite difficulties from the pandemic the department has a surplus of more than $8 million. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to explain whether we should be concerned about the Holy See's finances. Thonhauser says the deficit is actually not bad at all but he shares what makes him think that there could be financial trouble looming in the future. Thonhauser tells us more about the new structure of financial management in the Vatican. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
