This week, Pope Francis appointed 28 new consultants to the Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, including experts in theology, canon law, and Scripture. The Pope also addressed the impact of organized crime, urging a focus on restoring the well-being of victims and communities. Meanwhile, the Vatican is cooperating with Italian authorities in investigating leaks related to last year's financial trial. Additionally, Pope Francis emphasized that science must serve human dignity, and the Holy See reiterated its support for nuclear non-proliferation at an international conference.
