VATICAN CITY - An elderly woman facing eviction from a Vatican-owned property has been granted a three-month extension, following widespread criticism and advocacy from tenant rights organizations. The eviction, initially scheduled despite the 65-year-old woman’s precarious financial and personal situation, sparked outrage due to the perceived lack of compassion from an institution known for its moral advocacy for the vulnerable.
The property in question is part of the Vatican’s vast real estate holdings, which are often managed with a focus on financial returns.
