Pope meets Vatican administrators ahead of changes at top

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis held his first meeting on Friday with staff of the Vatican department that was at the center of last year's scandal over leaked documents alleging corruption, ahead of expected changes to its leadership.
The person he chooses to succeed Cardinal Tarciscio Bertone as head of the Secretariat of State will be among his most important decisions because he will be instrumental in helping Francis set the tone for a humbler Church following a period of scandals.
Bertone has been widely blamed for failing to prevent the many mishaps and infighting in Church government during the eight-year pontificate of now-retired Pope Benedict.
Francis inherited a Church struggling to deal with priests' sexual abuse of children; the alleged corruption and infighting in the Vatican's central administration, known as the Curia; and conflict over the running of the Vatican's scandal-ridden bank.

I think that these changes in personnel are going to be closely watched. I hope that he picks people who will clean the corruption that plagues the Curia and the Vatican Bank. I also hope that he has zero tolerance for priest's sexual abuses.
