Life doesn't revolve around kpekus, the pope would be fine na we suppose mind our business.

Aside winning, seeing others winning and my family and friends happy, I just discovered say many things no really concern me again.

Have you lost your manhood?

How can a man not enjoy kpekus..?

Can you trade kpekus for wealth and fame? That’s vanity

saphiere:
33k dollars is too small

Too small? 33,000 US dollars per month. That's 53,034,630 Naira per month. 636,415,560 Naira per year. How's that too small?

Okay!

I don’t think this is accurate. The pope’s entire expenses are covered by the church but he doesn’t earn actual salaries.

You need to wake up. He takes whatever he likes. That's his business you're talking about

The Pope is the CEO of a global corporation called Catholic church. He gets the same protection as CEOs of Apple, Meta, Tesla, etc. He is voted in by Board of Directors (aka Cardinals). It is just a matter of semantics. It is a business entity. Poor people see it as a religious organization. Rich people and wealth managers approach them for the business side of the organization.

Why would someone doing God's work draw such a huge salary when he has no mortgages to pay nor wife and kids to take care of?

Pope: CEO
Cardinals: Board of Directors
Bishops: Regional Managers
Parish priests: Branch Managers
Catechists: Managers' Aides/ Special Assistants

In that case, presumably Apple, Google and all these other corporations have been going for 2000 years? Or perhaps you assume any global corporation today would last 2000 years?

Could there be more to the catholic church ,perhaps, that it's lasted so long?

ogaemma:
And Pope Francis left $100 dollar as the only money in his savings.
These men must be sacrificing a lot for humanity.
No luxury, very simple and humble life.

So pope/Reverend Father nor get family abi nah fall dem fall from heaven

CatANDratTHEORY:
He’s somebody who lived as a Jesuit for decades before becoming a bishop and continued to live in the style that he’s been accustomed to as a religious throughout the rest of his life,” Rober told Fortune.

There’s no telling if Pope Leo XIV will accept the salary—but if he does, he could be making as much as some of the world’s most powerful leaders. Either way, he’ll still be enjoying Vatican perks like the Popemobile and a cushy retirement.

The pope earns just as much as U.S. presidents and university chancellors
The pope’s nearly half-a-million paypacket is on par with the wages of U.S. presidents.

Government leaders receive a $400,000 baseline salary, with at least another $170,000 per year in additional allowances for official duties, travel, and entertainment. The president also has access to Air Force One, Marine One, and 24-hour Secret Service protection—saving them thousands per year in other expenditures.

Another institutional leadership job that pays in the ballpark of the pope is U.S. university chancellors. The presidents of America’s elite schools can even earn a base pay of up to $1.5 million annually—far higher than the president or pope. But usually, the salary range for chancellors is between $250,000 to $372,000 yearly. The presidents of Northwestern University, University of Vermont, and Purdue University all reportedly rake in a base pay close to the pontiff at around $400,000.


But sometimes, the perks go beyond the pay for a high-profile position. Elon Musk has had a baseline salary of $0 for many years—but he gets billions in stock compensation for hitting milestones, and has a fleet of private jets and security paid for by his companies. Mark Zuckerberg’s baseline wage has also been $1 annually since 2013 with no bonus, but his $211 billion empire has grown through Alphabet stock.

The other perks that come with being pope: A private pharmacy and $3,300 monthly retirement fund
The pope is revered as the highest and most holiest leader of the Catholic Church, which has over a billion members. And the Vatican makes sure the pontiff can lead in style.

For one, the pope usually lives in the gilded Apostolic Palace—lavish living arrangements with all expenses covered by the Vatican. All of his meals and day-to-day necessities are also free of charge for the pope, with unfettered access to custom, hand-tailored regalia made by top religious outfitters.

Pope Leo XIV will also have access to the Popemobile, private cars, and a fleet of vehicles at the drop of a hat. The pontiff also doesn’t have to worry about security, healthcare, or retirement anymore. He has free access to Vatican medical services and a private pharmacy to ensure a healthy, long reign.

And even after the pope chooses to retire, he would receive a monthly pension of €2,500 ($3,300). But there’s more beyond a stacked savings account—the Vatican will cover the living expenses, provide a home inside the Vatican, pay for all daily necessities including food and housekeeping.

Pope Leo is an Augustinian and not a Jesuit.

Pope is bigger than US president

In our generation, a Pope will always be missed

FRANCISCUM, rest in peace

How did Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube catch up globally in such a short period of time? The power of marketing is alive and well…else why would a sane human being believe that a blind can see and a lame can walk by the powers of a man in Nigeria who frequently sneaks out for full medical checkups abroad?

You didn't respond to my point. You're still comparing these companies to the Catholic church that's lasted 2 millenia. These companies you listed were established in the last 15 to 50 years. Let's see where they are in 1000 years.
Church is Church and businesses are businesses. Understandably, there are many business centres that masquerade as churches with their fake miracles and money grabbing. - you'll find that miracles have to be rigorously verified with the Catholic church- takes years sometimes. Shikena

Pope Victor (189-199 AD)
Pope Miltiades (311-314 AD)
Pope Gelasius (492-496 AD)

wow nice point

UrbaneHR:
Is this an assumption or a verifiable fact?

Apart from using it for himself and mission work, who else is he supposed to spend it with?

I am a Christian from childhood, church money plenty pass ritual money.

This has no bearing on the issue at hand. The question is about verification of your former post. Is it fact or just an assumption? We are in 2025 and intelligent people should not make wild assumptions especially in social media.
