The Vatican has published a fundraising video for new Pope Leo XIV, asking for support for the Catholic Church in the current financial crisis.

The minute-long video, projected on screens in St. Peter's Square, urges the faithful to donate to Peter's Denarii, a papal fund for Church activities and charities. Although donations totaled €48.4 million in 2023, spending exceeded that amount, creating a deficit of €83 million. The appeal for donations underlines the need for support for the Pope's mission in the context of the financial difficulties facing the Church.
