Peter's Pence and other donations "for the charitable works of the Holy Father" are not part of the "budget." The popes are entirely free to do whatever they want with their money without any public disclosure. If you've seen the Vatican's budget, please give the source. The 2015 “Consolidated financial statement of the Holy See the Governorate of Vatican City State” didn't report the money given the pope or much else for that matter.  http://www.news.va/en/news/vatican-publishes-consolidated-financial-statement The Peter’s Pence collection totaled €378 million in 2013 according to Fittipaldi’s "Avarice."  Pope Francis “receives lavish donations” from the wealthy, like Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, and Leonardo Di Caprio (chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it)There are auctions of donated items and corporate charity events. All are secret.
