The disclosure covers the Holy See's finances as a whole; the article does not itemize Saint Peter's Basilica or the Fabbrica di San Pietro, the historic office that has administered the Basilica's fabric and finances since the sixteenth century, separately from the consolidated whole. A direct wire account of an institutional disclosure, credited to the agency rather than an individual reporter.CitationAuthorWell-attestedThe Associated PressPublisherWell-attestedAl JazeeraPublication YearWell-attested2020URLWell-attestedhttps://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2020/10/1/vatican-releases-budget-balance-sheet-amid-financial-scandalSource TypeWell-attestednewsClaims Backed By This Source (18 claims)This source backs 18 claims across the atlas.
