On Monday in Vatican City, Pope Leo XIV celebrated his 71st birthday by issuing a papal decree that benefited Vatican employees. Instead of receiving gifts himself, the Pope signed a decree repealing salary cuts that had been previously imposed in 2021.
The restored wages reverse cost-saving measures put in place by Pope Francis during the COVID-19 pandemic, which had affected numerous Holy See workers.
