ROME — The Vatican announced Monday that two members of a commission set up by Pope Francis to study financial operations at the Holy See had been arrested on suspicion of leaking confidential documents to journalists.
The
arrests added to the intrigue and infighting that appear to be
intensifying around Francis, whose push to liberalize certain aspects of
the Roman Catholic Church
and to shake up the Vatican’s administrative body, or Curia, has met
with stiff resistance from traditionalists and vested interests inside
the Vatican and beyond.
