VATICAN CITY (RNS) — Pope Francis has been clear about his vision for Catholicism as a “poor church for the poor” and the 2021 annual report of the Vatican bank shows that the pope’s wish is closer than ever to becoming a reality.
In the report published on Tuesday (June 7), the bank, officially the Institute for Religious Works, announced that it made a net profit of 18.1 million euros (about $19.3 million) last year, a significant decrease from the 36.4 million euros it netted in 2020, but which Vatican officials defended as an able effort in difficult times.
“This is certainly an important result considering the low yields on financial markets,” said Cardinal Santos Abril y Castelló, president of the Commission of Cardinals, which oversees the bank, in a statement accompanying the report.
