Pope Francis has overhauled the laws that govern the Vatican City State, criminalizing leaks of Vatican information and specifically listing sexual violence, prostitution and possession of child pornography as crimes against children. The legislation approved Thursday covers people who live and work in Vatican City and is different from the canon law which covers the universal Roman Catholic Church.
