Jubilee coming to Rome...

Around 30 million tourists/pilgrims are expected in Rome next year for the Jubilee, an event which will completely jam the city center and the neighborhoods best connected to the sites of well-known basilicas. The liberalisation of the tourism sector will bring about many consequences among which one stands out for the sector itself: it will (and is already) flatten the cultural offer, projecting an idea of the city that tourists and pilgrims already hope to find. And it will only cater to those visiting since residents will be pushed away from the city center and won't even desire to visit it.
Furthermore the Jubilee will cause a "sanification" of the city by "hiding away" vulnerable populations such as the homeless one, and further limiting the freedom to demonstrate. The Church generally lives on thanks to its followers, but also benefits from the simple fact of being in Rome, one of the most touristy city in the world, which brings in a constant stream of visitors for ecclesiastical structures too and gives nothing back.
Hypocrisy on the part of the Church is rampant and episodes showing it haven't stopped coming up, like offering to "welcome" the LGBTQİA+ community in a dedicated ceremony in September next year, when everyone still remembers the use of homophobic slur by the Pope recently.
Pope Francis himself has made declarations in the past pointing out how the problem of overtourism cannot be separated from the system that causes it. But he seems to forget that the system of the "sacred" isn't alien to the capitalistic and extractivist model, which manifests in the form of, guess what, the Jubilee!
