13) How are the Order’s activities financed?

Activities are funded essentially by its members. Funds come from private donations and vary according to different countries and situations. Resources for hospitals and medical activities usually come from agreements stipulated with the national health and social systems. The same is true for emergency services. In developing countries, activities are often backed by grants from governments, the European Commission or other international organisations. Funds also come from donations or benefactors’ contributions to Order’s activities. -Source

On the Popes left you will see two men. The one further away is H. E. Albrecht Freiherr von BOESELAGER who is the son of jesuit trained Nazi, Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager who just died at the ripe old age of 90.

Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager (Catholic Nobleman, Forester, Knight of Malta,) 1917-2008. He joined the Order of Malta in 1946, eventually co-founding Malteser Hilfdienst, the medical operation of the German knights of the Order, and helping coordinate German pilgrimages to Lourdes. Philipp was the fourth of eight children and was educated by the Jesuits at Bad Godesborg. That’s actually a picture of his brother behind him who studied to be a Jesuit Priest. Both were supposedly part of a failed assassination attempt on Hitler. This story followed them their whole lives offering them a convienient escape from the curse of being a former “Nazi”.

LOOKS LIKE THE FORMER FIRST LADY OF FRANCE WAS A DAME OF MALTA AYE?

She was born to a devout catholic family and received a strict education from her mother.

Nobility of Bernadette Chirac

Bernadette Chirac was born into an old aristocratic family of public servants, from the Trois-Évêchés. Her family includes military officers, goldsmiths, lawyers, diplomats and industrialists. They would ultimately become owners of factories in Gien and Briare, in the Loiret, which were famed for their porcelain and enamel. Like many old French families, Bernadette Chirac has several European royal families among her ancestors. In 1852, a decree by Napoleon III authorizes the addition of Courcel, one of the family’s properties, to their name. In 1867, Napoleon III made Alphonse Chodron de Courcel a hereditary baron for services rendered to the State. ~Source
