CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV has issued a €500 bonus to Vatican employees for their work during the period between the death of Pope Francis and the papal election.
The “conclave bonus,” a Vatican tradition, had been interrupted by Pope Francis, who directed the funds instead to charity. Pope Leo reinstated the bonus for employees while also making a special gift to the poor through the office of papal charities.
