Vatican Revokes Parish Funds in Buffalo: A Symptom of Conciliar Collapse
The National Catholic Register reports that the Dicastery for the Clergy has revoked multiple “assessment allocation decrees” imposed by Bishop Michael Fisher of Buffalo, which had levied significant cash contributions from parishes to fund the diocese’s abuse settlement. The “Road to Renewal” plan, announced in 2024, sought to close or merge roughly a third of the diocese’s parishes, citing priest shortages and declining attendance. While the diocese claims the settlement plan remains unaffected and that no parish funds have actually left parish control, the Vatican’s intervention highlights a profound crisis: the conciliar sect’s financial exploitation of the faithful to cover the consequences of its own moral and administrative bankruptcy.
