Pope Francis has decreed that cardinals and other Vatican staff can no longer accept gifts worth more than 40 euros in his latest crackdown on corruption within the Holy See, the Yahoo News website reports today (May 1, 2021).
It will mean an end to the lavish gifts and generous cash donations that cardinals and monsignors have received in the past from benefactors and supporters.
"All employees are prohibited to receive gifts worth more than 40 euros," the pope said in a strongly-worded document that was issued on April 29 by the Vatican.
