Text:
Vatican finance is characterized by service to charity. Centrality of the person, achievement of integral human development and inclusiveness represent the boundary between economic actions in accordance with religious precepts and opportunities for the exercise of power. The contact between this system and that of civil ones poses a problem of coexistence between norms, principles and practices when the Vatican economic rules are not characterized only by their specific religious nature but they represent an expression of a state.
