Vatican Finances Unpacked: Fr. Philip Michael Tangorra on Pope Leo’s Motu Proprio

Author: Sacred Heart Catholic Radio September 16, 2026 Duration: 6:33

What do Vatican officials and cardinals actually get paid—and how do papal decisions impact the Holy See's budget? Fr. Philip Michael Tangorra from the Diocese of Paterson joins Matt Swaim on the Son Rise Morning Show to break down Pope Leo XIV’s latest motu proprio. Fr. Tangorra explains how Pope Leo formally lifted the COVID-19 pandemic-era salary cuts originally imposed by Pope Francis, shedding light on the historical evolution of Vatican finances from John Paul II to today. Debunking common myths about "wealthy" prelates, they discuss the modest reality of clergy salaries, administrative overhead, and what it truly costs to govern the global Church.
