FTA: “Francis previously stripped the Vatican’s secretariat of state of its 600 billion-euro ($635 billion) portfolio”

“Previously” implies that’s not what happened today. I read that as 600 billion-euro being part of “all assets and property owned by Vatican departments and affiliated institutions”, but not all of it.

If so, it is higher.

No, “previously” refers to the secretariat of state, which is one institution (the most important one) inside the Vatican. Now it’s all institutions.
