Pope Leo XIV turned 71 years old this Monday, September 14th. The date was marked by a significant decision related to Vatican financial policy, which represents a change from the austerity measures implemented during the covid-19 pandemic.
The decision made by the Pope consists of the revocation of salary cuts that had been applied in 2021 to various workers of the Holy See. These cuts were implemented as a financial containment measure during the pandemic period, affecting the income of Vatican employees.
With this revocation, workers of the Holy See are no longer subject to the salary reductions that had been in force for several years. The measure represents financial relief for the affected employees and marks a new phase in Vatican salary policy under the leadership of Pope Leo XIV.
