Pope Francis on Thursday told the Vatican's Dicastery of Communication overseeing media operations to expect budget cuts amid efforts to curb expenses.
    "We will need to implement a bit more discipline on money because you have to try to save more and look for other funding because the Holy See can't continue to help you like it does today", the pope told the department handling the Vatican's TV and radio stations, newspaper and media site.
    "I know it's bad news" but it's also "beautiful news because it moves everybody's creativity", said the pontiff who earlier this month also ordered pay cuts for cardinals as the Vatican battles to balance its books.
