CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis has issued a new motu proprio setting accounting standards for foundations and corporations established by the offices of the Roman Curia.

The motu proprio gives the Secretariat for the Economy the authority to supervise the financial affairs of foundations and corporations established by the offices of the Roman Curia. These institutions, because they are semi-autonomous, had previously escaped careful scrutiny.
