THE VATICAN IS LOSING MONEY DUE TO WEAK DOLLAR
Weak dollar sends Vatican into the red
The Vatican has blamed a weak dollar for pushing it into its first loss in four years by undermining the value of dollar-denominated donations by the faithful.
Annual accounts published this week show the Holy See fell into the red last year, recording a loss of €9.1m (£7.25m).
The US currency has fallen sharply against the euro since the start of last year, hitting the Holy See in the pocket as its expenses are incurred in euros. Much of the Vatican's income comes from donations by Catholics around the world. The US was the largest single contributor to Peter's Pence - the collection used by the Pope for charitable donations - sending almost $19m (£9.5m).
But the shortfall attributed mainly to the weak dollar was mitigated by a rise of €4m in property income. The Holy See is a major owner of property all over Rome and was criticised last year for raising rents and threatening to evict tenants.
Earlier this year, the Vatican released a new list of mortal sins which included "accumulating excessive wealth".
Estimates of its own wealth vary, with some reports putting it at £4bn. Last year a political row broke out over the tax exemptions enjoyed by the Catholic church in Italy. Under a deal first hammered out in 1929, it does not pay property taxes.
The Holy See's 2007 budget statement was finalised last week. It showed an overall income of €236.7m, while expenses totalled €245.8m. Before the dollar's decline hammered its income, the Vatican had recorded three years of profits totalling over €15m. Its media operations, which include Vatican Radio and the official newspaper, lost €14.6m last year. |

The Irony is that if The Vatican was truly a humanitarian and religious institution they should be in the red every year. They are not supposed to be running for a profit! |

Immense? A devil cult church of the Roman empire losing (not loosing) it's money value?
Read - for thy sustainer is the most bountiful one, who has taught the use of the pen, taught man what he did not know!
Nay verily man becomes grossly overweening, whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient: for behold unto thy sustainer all must return.

Duh, I'm fully aware that the Vatican is per size and capital the richest State in the World.
That's what's making it funny that they of all people should now be playing a victim card in all this and we are supposed to believe it
The Vatican OWNS EVERYTHING already and now they discreetly release and audit which says they are also losing money so others/we shouldn't feel so bad or complain if we lose money, after the Vatican is also losing money. Yeh Right.
They are just conditioning the sheep. |

Thats what makes this so sleezy. It's no secret they have tons of gold and the value of that gold is going through the roof. Their gullible american members still give them the same amount but the value is not the same as it used to be. So they send out this press release crying and you can bet they will press their member to give more to make up for the falling value even though most of their member are probably barely making it.
