Drawing on their professional experience, the three speakers discuss the necessity and benefits of financial transparency in the Church, which entails the clear communication of accurate and relevant information to parishioners, donors, and stakeholders. They address the call for co-responsibility, which highlights the desire for lay involvement in the Church’s temporal affairs. Since priestly formation typically lacks financial education, the laity can serve as a powerful source for implementing best business practices – including routine audits and adherence to accounting standards. Financial transparency also has many benefits, including increased donations, lower risk of embezzlement, and greater trust in the Church.
