Even if this is true, 2025 is a jubilee year. There will be so many pilgrims to the Vatican and donations would skyrocket

The Pope should just issue a Papal Bull that God has forgiven the Vatican's debts. And their creditors won't be able to argue, as he's literally infallible.

Now there’s a political crisis that would be fun to watch unfold!

I’m tired of all this current stuff that seems to destroy lives as it unfolds.

Can we get a good old fashioned pope/antipope fight while we're at it? Two claimants to the throne of St. Peter, and the first act of each is to excommunicate the other!
