The Associated Press' report, carried by Al Jazeera, of the Holy See's first whole-institution budget disclosure since 2016, published 1 October 2020, used here for what it does not itemize: no figure isolated to Saint Peter's Basilica or the Fabbrica di San Pietro.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Tier 2: the Associated Press wire service, carried by Al Jazeera and read directly, reporting the Holy See's first budget and balance sheet disclosure since 2016, released in October 2020 amid a financial scandal, quoting Vatican finance minister Juan Antonio Guerrero Alves. 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.
