Pope Leo XIV repeals salary cuts
Vatican
Pope Leo XIV has revoked salary cuts for cardinals, religious members, and clergy that were introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision, made through a motu proprio, cancels the 2021 law titled "A Sustainable Future" issued by Pope Francis.
The Pope made the decision after consulting with the Secretariat for the Economy and conducting a careful examination of the matter. The original 2021 measure reduced the pay of cardinals, heads and secretaries of dicasteries, priests, and members of religious orders to address the emergency caused by the pandemic.
While the Pope is abolishing the rule, the decision does not undo the financial effects that occurred while the law was in effect. This includes the continued freeze on biennial salary increases based on years of service.
