The Vatican is rapidly losing money with donations plummeting as sex abuse scandals damage the Catholic Church's reputation, according to a new book.
Total donations dropped from more than €100million in 2016 to a mere €60million in the most recent figures, according to Nuzzi's research.
Vatican bosses encourage worshippers to donate to the collection, known as Peter's Pence, in order to 'participate in the Pope's activity'.
However, most of the donations are now used to cover the Vatican's general costs rather than for philanthropic work, it is claimed.
Francis, who was elected to the papacy in 2013, tried to reform Vatican finances by naming Australian cardinal George Pell as Vatican economy minister.
But Pell has since been disgraced in a child sex abuse case back in Australia and insiders believe reforms are being 'sabotaged'.

Looking forward to seeing “fire sale at the vatican” headlines.
