Vatican’s Financial Report Reveals Shift Towards Earthly Management
Vatican News portal (November 26, 2025) reports an interview with Maximino Caballero Ledo, Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy, regarding the Holy See's 2024 financial statements. The article highlights a reduced deficit (€44.4 million from €83.5 million), citing increased donations, hospital revenues, and "prudent control of expenses" as contributing factors. Caballero frames these results as "significant progress," emphasizing "continuity, realism and discipline" to achieve "full financial sustainability." The report avoids any reference to the supernatural mission of the Church, focusing exclusively on budgetary metrics and operational efficiency.
Naturalism Replaces the Supernatural Mission
The financial report exemplifies the conciliar sect's reduction of the Church to a merely human institution (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, §39). By boasting of hospital revenues and property management while omitting the sacramental economy and the salvation of souls, the interview confirms Pius X's condemnation in Lamentabili Sane: "The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics… steadfastly adhering to views irreconcilable with modern progress" (Proposition 63). Not a single mention is made of grace, sacrifice, or the Kingship of Christ—the very foundations of the Church's existence according to Pius XI's encyclical Quas Primas (1925).
Donations as a Barometer of Apostasy
Caballero attributes increased donations to "renewed participation of the faithful," framing it as a "positive fact" signaling "greater trust.&39;' This ignores the doctrinal reality that material support for the Church is morally licit only when given to uphold Catholic truth (Pius XII, Mystici Corporis §78). Financial contributions to structures propagating modernist errors—like the conciliar sect's ecumenism and religious liberty—become cooperation with apostasy. The report's celebration of donations without doctrinal discernment echoes the naturalism condemned in the Syllabus: "The Church is not a true and perfect society… her rights depend on civil power" (§19).
Financial Sustainability Over Sanctification
The repeated emphasis on "consolidating progress" and "strengthening the economic base" exposes the conciliar sect's inversion of priorities. Pius XI declared in Quas Primas that the Church exists to establish "the reign of our Savior" over nations, not to balance ledgers. By praising "operational efficiency" while remaining silent on the collapse of sacramental life—such as invalid Novus Ordo rites—the report confirms the modernist substitution of sanctification with bureaucratic management.
Omission of Scandal and Heresy
Notably absent is any acknowledgment of the financial scandals plaguing the Vatican since 2019, including the London property fiasco and the trial of Cardinal Becciu. This deliberate silence exemplifies the conciliar sect's culture of obfuscation, condemned by Pius X as "the synthesis of all errors" (Pascendi Dominici Gregis §39). Worse, Caballero cites the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to legitimize the financial "reform," despite his public adherence to heretical positions on marriage and communion for adulterers.
Theological Bankruptcy of "Mission"
The article reduces the Church's mission to "pastoral initiatives" and supporting "fragile ecclesial communities," code words for the conciliar sect's abandonment of conversion. Contrast this with Pius XI's teaching: "The Church… must lead [all nations] to the sweet yoke of Christ" (Quas Primas). By celebrating "social value" over doctrinal fidelity, the report embodies the modernist heresy that "dogmas are to be harmonized with science and history" (Pius X, Lamentabili, §65).
