Rome, 14 Sept. (LaPresse) – “Those wage restraint measures adopted by my Predecessor in the Apostolic Letter in the form of a Motu Proprio ‘A Sustainable Future’, dated 23 March 2021, which were also necessary to address the exceptional challenge posed by the pandemic, and which had already been partially amended through the repeal of Article 3, by the Rescriptum ex Audientia of 16 June 2025, may now be superseded, in the certainty that the institutions of the Holy See and the Vatican City State will continue, through various means, their commitment to ensuring economic sustainability”. This is stated by Pope Leo in a motu proprio letter, which, by repealing Article 1 of Pope Francis’s provision, restores to the cardinals 10 per cent of their previously reduced salary.
