(see related)(ANSA) - Rome, November 4 - Monsignor Angelo Becciu, substitute for general affairs at the Vatican, said Wednesday that the new document-leaking scandal at the Vatican would not stop Pope Francis in his drive to overhaul finances there.
    "This incident, albeit unpleasant, will certainly not block him," Monsignor Becciu told ANSA. "The Pope is very upset but truly this fact will not stop him at all, he will move quickly as he has done until now and so there will be no obstacles in this sense," he added. The latest scandal dubbed Vatileaks 2 and concerning leaked confidential documents led to the arrest of two advisers who served on the pope's financial reform commission at the weekend.
    Vatileaks 2 has been amplified by the publication on Thursday of two books pointing to waste and mismanagement holding up Pope Francis's economic reforms.
