Show me the money: Pope launches Vatican debt campaign
Pope Leo XIV celebrated a special feast day, traditionally used by the Catholic Church to make donations from those loyal.
The Vatican under the first American Pope broadcasts a new campaign to help save the sacred view that reveals ordinary Catholics.
Leo pointed out the Feast of Aziz Peter and Paul, congratulated Mass at St Peter Basilica and thanked the donors who contributed, using the language of the promotion campaign, said that their financial support was a union sign with young Ponticate.
In churches around the world, the masses on the day of July 29th often include a special collection for Peter’s Pence, both under the operations of the Catholic Church’s central government and a fund that pays the Pope’s personal philanthropy actions.
The church uses a promotional video, poster, QR code and website that requires donation through credit card, paypal, bank transfer and post office transfer.
Under the Vatican, Born in Chicago, a American -style donation collection area will do more to help keep the sacred See bureaucracy alive and delete the structural gap for $ 50 million to $ 104 million).
The video contains the images of Leo’s first emotional moments as a Pope when he stepped into the Loggia of the St Peter Basilica and then drowns when he gets the fisherman’s papal ring.
In a background, with a awakening film music, the video overlapses a message in various languages by calling Donations to Leo through Peter’s Pence Collection.
“You support the steps of the sacred father with Peter’s donation to Pence, or he says.
“Help us to declare the Bible to the world and reach out to our brothers who need.
At the end of the blessing on Sunday, Leo used the same language about Peter’s first steps to say that Peter’s Pence Fund was “a sign of communication with the Pope and a sign of joining the Ministry of Apostolic”.
“I would like to thank those who support my first steps as St Peter’s successor with his gifts.” He said.
The Fund has been the source of the scandal among the revelations of the Vatican’s Secretariat of State, and the revelations that have misinterpreted their existence with bad investments, incompetent administrations and wastes.
The latest hearing on the Bungled investment of the Vatican on a London property confirmed that the majority of Peter’s pens contributions, as many communists have been directed to believe, not the Papal aid attempts, but to finance Holy See’s budget deficiencies.
In addition to the budget deficit, the Vatican faces a lack of 1 billion euros (about $ A1.78 billion) that Pope Francis could not fulfill his obligations in the pension funds before his death.
Unlike countries, Holy See does not impose bonds or income tax to carry out operations to residents, based on donations, investments and income and stamps, coins, publications and other initiatives produced by Vatican museums.
For years, the US has been the largest source of donation to Peter’s Pence, and US Catholics contribute to about one quarter of the total each year.
The Vatican officials hope that under Leo’s Ponticate, new financial controls and an American Mathematics Major and donors who make a sacred view will not be wrong.
