The powerful head of the Vatican's saint-making office, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, resigned Thursday from the post and renounced his rights as a cardinal amid a financial scandal that has reportedly implicated him indirectly.

The world will not overcome the current crisis if only big businesses, financial institutions and the powerful have a voice, Pope Francis said.

This week on “Inside the Vatican,” the hosts discuss why the C.D.F. appears out of step with Pope Francis and how the pope could change that.

The C.D.F. said today: ‘We did everything possible to dialogue with Father Flannery. It wasn’t always easy.’

Pope Francis proposed “to globalize treatment” and said all people should be given access to life-saving medicine.

Mara Grassi told Pope Francis, “We wish to create a bridge to the church so that the church too can change its way of looking at our children, no longer excluding them but fully welcoming them.”
