Trump Family Earns $1 Billion from Crypto; Vatican Declares Schism

Donald Trump and his family earned over $1 billion last year from cryptocurrency ventures and other businesses. The Vatican announced that the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X has entered a state of schism.

Financial disclosures indicate that Donald Trump, along with his family, earned more than $1 billion in the past year from cryptocurrency investments and other commercial activities. The substantial earnings have sparked renewed debate over potential conflicts of interest, particularly given Trump's ongoing political influence. However, Trump has denied any wrongdoing, stating that all ventures were conducted legally.

In a separate development, the Vatican has made a significant ecclesiastical ruling. The Holy See declared that the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has entered schism. The SSPX, known for its opposition to the Second Vatican Council, has long been at odds with the Vatican. This official declaration marks a formal break in communion, which could affect the status of its clergy and followers within the Catholic Church. The Vatican's decision is seen as a step to clarify the canonical standing of the group.
