The Pope has imposed new regulations on the 'saint' process after journalists revealed financial abuse in the system. The new rules set out the mechanism by which donors supporting a candidate for sainthood pay for the services of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, the Vatican office responsible for reviewing candidates for sainthood. Large amounts of money have been donated and relatively unaccounted for, while evidence suggests that the path to sainthood for large donations is faster than others. The new system ensures oversight and accountability.
