2025 is a Papal Jubilee year

When I visited Rome in September renovation and construction works were everywhere in anticipation of the Papal Jubilee year. This started on Christmas Eve when the Pope opened the Holy Door of Saint Peter’s Basilica

Once every 25 years since 1300, Papal Jubilee's are years when the holy doors in 4 Papal Basilicas are opened for special pilgrimage.

New starting point. All debts are forgiven and canceled
Ain't gonna happen in this country

That's entirely too socialist, the xtians as well as tech bros would never allow the church to adhere to that tradition. One of us might get a leg up...

Pope Francis stated in his February 2022 letter announcing the Jubilee 2025: "We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire..."
