The accounts of the Diocese of Córdoba for 2025 show total revenues exceeding 15.7 million euros against expenses of 13.1 million, marking an improvement over the previous year. This positive balance is largely attributed to an increase in income tax declarations, which contributed over 6.5 million euros.
The containment of expenses is explained by delays in the execution of major rehabilitation and construction projects for churches and pastoral centers. This situation will lead to higher financial outlays in the current year, 2026, and subsequent years.
In addition to income tax contributions, revenues come from other sources, including over 3.3 million euros from diocesan institutions, more than 1.3 million from patrimonial income and own activities, and over three million euros in exceptional income.
Regarding expenses, the Diocese of Córdoba allocated over 3.2 million euros to pastoral and welfare activities. The sustenance of the clergy accounted for more than 3.7 million euros, while lay personnel expenses exceeded 1.1 million euros.
Operating expenses and building maintenance amounted to 3.3 million euros, including a "significant amount allocated to the amortization of bank loans totaling over 2.6 million euros." Rehabilitation programs for churches and other pastoral activity centers required investments worth more than 1.5 million euros.
It is important to note that these figures pertain exclusively to the activities of the Diocese itself. The Diocese of Córdoba has indicated that it is currently in the process of consolidating the accounts of its 232 parishes and other diocesan entities, which will provide a comprehensive picture of the income and expenses for 2025 across the entire diocese. These results were announced during the presentation of Ver Iglesia 26 and the awarding of the Entidades con Corazón Awards.
