Maybe Bergoglio should stop trying to suppress the TLM among other things.

From the article: Many Catholics have stopped their donations after growing disillusioned with the reforms of Pope Francis.

I've always said that this is one thing that gets their attention: hit them where it hurts the most namely, in the pocketbook.

Nah, the donations are down because Catholics are not attending, most normie Catholics support reform.

Just kill them all.  Not fit for purpose.

Two entirely different religions if we are just all going to be honest about it.

The current financial administration in the Vatican is probably no better at managing money than Kamala Harris, AOC, and other Democrat politicians.

Soon they will start selling off Catholic treasures. Imagine Michelangelo's Pieta in a private collection, suffering who knows what kind of desecrations...

How many Churches have already been sold in Europe? Many are now nightclubs and dens of sin.

Finance was the one area where Francis was supposed to be good. I believe he was elected for this reason, to clean out the financial skullduggery. Remember what happened to JPI, and the body hanging from Blackfriars Bridge in London? Honestly, for all his other faults, I thought he might turn out to be effective at financial reform. Perhaps these recent issues are a sign that some reform is happening.

In the Diocese that I live in. The Bishop has already had one round of Church closures with building/land sold off.

Given that the Roman clergy are sodomising each otherin church property during cocaine fuelled orgies, and on altars, as well as having satanic black masses in churches, how much worse can it get?

I don't suppose having witnessed that that a piece of artwork is going to be scandalized by George Michael's 'Careless Whisper' and some high hemlines.

Same here, my archbishop said that in 4 years he wanted to have 10 churches left of the current 280 in the archdiocese.

I am sure Martin Luther and his friends would be more than satisfied at the present situation

They are saying that because they want to take back all the money from the individual congregations in order to finance the central administration.

We're in the Great Boomer Die-off and starting to see the results.

The Trad Movement was a Silent/Gen-X affair.  Now it is being taken over by the children of Gen-X and exploding.  There are some good Boomers in the movement and some millennials, but there is an obvious "generational hole" in the movement where boomers and millennials should be.

The Mass of the New Order is mostly a Boomer Mass.  Their kids didn't join the Trads in any large number, however they also stopped going to The Mass of the New Order.

So once The Great Boomer Die Off is behind us, New Church will be dead from lack of funding.  Besides demonic hatred, the need for funding was part of the reason Bergoglio is trying to kill off the Trad movement.  He will fail spectacularly.

There are some on here who attend The Mass of the New Order.  I'd say in justice throw $5 in the collection basket to pay your part of the priest's salary and utility bill, and send the bulk of your tithe to the SSPX or FSSP seminary.
"But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Jn 3:18)."

Doesn't help that Boomers are stingy:

QuoteThe study surveyed 1,000 Americans with a net worth exceeding $1 million in investable assets. When they were asked if they planned to distribute a portion of their wealth in their lifetime, wealthy Baby Boomers said they wanted to 56 percent of the time while 97 percent of both wealthy Gen X and Millennials wanted to do so.

So 56% of Boomers still living contribute to the basket, while 97% of Gen X do.
"But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Jn 3:18)."
