The lack of transparency and failure to share finanacial information would, I believe, violate federal law were this a US pension plan. Yes, the Vatican is a sovereign state but that makes this no less disgraceful. The Vatican can’t meet its pension obligations but had no problem wasting a lot of money on its synodaling event?!!

This is an excellent point. I receive request for donations in the mail from worthwhile causes every day and wish that I could help them all but I just cannot. I have to be realistic about how I can help and that my funds have a limit. (Heck, I wish that I could sponsor The Pillar for $10,000.00/mo.) but I just don't have that kind of money.

I just cannot spend money that I don't have. Still less, can I spend someone else's

money for a cause that I think is worthwhile.
