Pope Francis says the leaking of sensitive Vatican documents is a "crime" and "a deplorable act" that will not stop him from moving forward with church reforms.
The leader of the world's Roman Catholics, in his first comments since two people suspected of leaking the documents were arrested last week, said "this sad fact will certainly not distract me from the work of reform that is moving ahead." Francis made his remarks before tens of thousand of people at his Sunday blessing in Saint Peter's Square.
Two new books are based on the leaks that detail how some prelates are resisting the pope's financial and administrative changes in the Holy See.
