Pope Francis has ordered cardinals to take a 10 percent pay cut and reduced the salaries of most other clerics working in the Vatican in order to save jobs of employees as the coronavirus pandemic has hurt the Holy See's income, the Reuters website reports today (March 24, 2021).
The Vatican said today that Francis issued a decree introducing proportional cuts starting on April 1.
A senior Vatican prelate said it was the first time in living memory that a pope had taken such action.
