Two things:

1. Does the Pope have significant personal income? 2. Does, which what I think you are getting at, the law apply to a head of state?

Monthly income for pope US$32,000 equivalent.

I don’t know if he will exempt as head of state, but as ordinary US citizen he will be paying taxes to US as his income exceeds FEIE exemption threshold.

  • I am not sure that is correct. Different sources show very different amounts.

    The $32k seems suspiciously close to the monthly €2,500 reported by other sources multiplied by 12.

    There also seems to be some confusion between the assets and income of the pope and the papacy.
