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.
