Pope Leo XIV's Math Degree Shapes Vatican Reforms

The Vatican's financial systems are undergoing radical changes under Pope Leo XIV, the first pope with a mathematics degree (Villanova University '77). "You can't spiritualize unbalanced ledgers," declared the Augustinian pontiff during his overhaul of the centuries-old Institute for Religious Works. The Chicago-born pope has introduced data analytics to track sacramental trends - his team discovered 73% of confessions peak on Saturdays before major sports events. The Peruvian-American pope's unique background (fluent in five languages) helps him negotiate with global banks. Critics argue the Church isn't a corporation, but the math whiz counters: "Even Jesus multiplied the loaves systematically." His next project? Algorithmic saint recognition that processes miracles like math proofs.
