Pope Francis Issues Law That Forbids Vatican Employees From Accepting Gifts Over $48
On 4/29/21 at 10:48 AM EDT
In an effort to cut down on corruption among Vatican employees, Pope Francis instituted a new policy that prohibits them from receiving any work-related gift with a value over 40 euros ($48).
The work-related qualifier will likely be open to interpretation, but the new rule is aimed at cutting back on the lavish gifts that Vatican employees are accustomed to receiving.
Among other anti-corruption regulations enacted by the pope are requirements that Vatican cardinals and managers periodically declare that they are only investing in funds consistent with Catholic doctrine, and that they are not under criminal investigation or stashing money in tax havens.
