CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis has decided that lay Vatican employees with three or more children will receive a monthly bonus of €300, to be paid until the children are adults.
The Pope also has decided to lengthen the paid leave that employees are given when a child is born: from three days to five.
The allowances for children are a partial response to complaints from Vatican lay workers, who have said they are being asked to bear a disproportionate share of the Vatican’s cost-cutting efforts.
