Pope Francis today (November 8, 2015) broke his silence over the leaking of confidential Vatican documents, which he described as a "deplorable act" that will not stand in the way of his ambitious reform agenda, according to the Religion News website.
Speaking to followers in St. Peter's Square, the pontiff criticized revelations made in two books published last week that explore Francis's efforts to overhaul financial mismanagement within the Vatican walls.
"Stealing those documents was a crime. It's a deplorable act that does not help," the pope said, adding that the leaked information was based on a study he had personally requested.
"I wish to reassure you that this sad event certainly does not deter me from the reform project that we are carrying out, together with my advisers and with the support of all of you," said Francis, telling his followers they should not be upset by recent events.
