Pope Francis on Thursday told the
Vatican's Dicastery of Communication overseeing media operations
to expect budget cuts amid efforts to curb expenses.
"We will need to implement a bit more discipline on money
because you have to try to save more and look for other funding
because the Holy See can't continue to help you like it does
today", the pope told the department handling the Vatican's TV
and radio stations, newspaper and media site.
"I know it's bad news" but it's also "beautiful news because it
moves everybody's creativity", said the pontiff who earlier this
month also ordered pay cuts for cardinals as the Vatican battles
to balance its books.
