Pope Leo XIV on Vatican’s finances: ‘I’m not losing sleep over it’

[Michie]

Pope Leo XIV downplayed concerns of the ongoing financial crisis at the Vatican in a recent interview, arguing that “things are going to be OK” regarding the Holy See’s finances even as more work is needed.

The Holy Father made the remarks as part of a wide-ranging interview with Crux senior correspondent Elise Ann Allen. The interview appears in Allen’s biography on the pontiff, “Leo XIV: Citizen of the World, Missionary of the 21st Century,” published in Spanish on Sept. 18. An English version of the book will be published in early 2026.

Allen asked Leo about the financial situation of the Vatican, noting that the pope has previously indicated that the crisis is “not as bad as it’s sometimes been made out to be.” The Holy See’s pension fund has been facing a major shortfall after years of budget deficits.

Admitting that the Vatican has to “continue to work” to address the issue, Leo told Allen: “I’m not losing sleep over it.”

I hope he realizes that there are many willing contributors who are holding back until the crazy pope Francis policies are corrected. That deficit could be quickly corrected if the theological and moral deficits of the Vatican under pope Francis and Friends were first corrected.

Not a hope in Hell of any of that. He's Bergoglio Mark 2, doing a few good things, lousing them up with very lousy stuff.
