Editing Pope Alexander VIII (section)

===Reforms===
On 29 November 1690, the pontiff established that no more than ten thousand ducats could be spent on the funeral of a pope. That same year, he also forbade that any furnishings of the conclave could not be stripped to be sold for profit.

On 30 March 1690, the pope established and confirmed the rights of the neophytes in [[Southeast Asia]] in the papal brief ''Animarum salutes''.

Reversing the economic policies of his immediate predecessor, Alexander VIII attempted to reduce the tax burden on the populace as a means of providing financial assistance to the more disadvantaged peoples. However, this backfired due to the pope's focus on large-scale charity initiatives and his focus on the [[Great Turkish War]] against the [[Ottoman Empire]], which quickly depleted papal funds which Innocent XI had been very careful to grow and safeguard.
