AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Vatican Finance: Peter’s Pence revenue dipped to €57.6m in 2025 (down from €58m in 2024), with a small €2.2m deficit blamed largely on foreign-exchange swings; the Holy See says it kept core aid projects steady at about €13m while shifting more of the burden to one-off grants (24% of contributions) and funding 252 projects across 74 countries. Papal Pay & People: Pope Leo XIV repealed Francis-era COVID salary cuts, restoring pay for cardinals and Vatican staff—an economic sustainability move that also signals a return to earlier staffing costs. AI Ethics Clash: Vatican AI adviser Paolo Benanti backed stronger safeguards as Pope Leo’s circle joins wider alarm over “existential dangers” from fast-moving AI; theologian Paolo Benanti warned AI manipulation could harm children “much worse” than drugs, while Cardinal Parolin urged countries not to “go it alone.” Energy & Climate: The Vatican plans a €100m agrivoltaic solar project on Vatican-owned land outside Rome to supply electricity and push carbon neutrality, targeting 80–90MW. Interfaith & Diplomacy: A Vatican-backed 60-year Nostra Aetate anniversary push calls for “builders of bridges” to counter extremism, migration pressures, and social crises. Church in Action (Malawi): A Vatican-linked message urged Malawi’s laity to use professional skills and influence for evangelization. Paris Momentum: Organizers report nearly 600,000 registrations for Pope Leo’s Paris Mass, forcing route and security expansions. Vatican-Linked Global Policy: Jordan’s Senate Palestine committee met the Holy See’s ambassador, praising support for a two-state solution and protection of holy sites. Local Church Finance (US): A San Diego civil lawsuit seeks return of a $200,000 cash donation allegedly collected for a Syriac Catholic church remodel.
