CWN Editor's Note: The Catholic Church in Germany donated about €595 million ($692 million) to aid projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe in 2024. That figure represents a decline of 3% over the previous year’s funding.
German dioceses and religious orders have been forced to trim their expenditures because of a decline in support, caused by the steady decline in the number of Catholics practicing the faith.
