VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Sunday condemned the recent leak of sensitive Vatican documents as a deplorable crime but said it would not distract him from forging ahead with reforms at the Holy See.

Making his first public comments about the leaks since the arrest last week of two people suspected of giving the documents to Italian journalists, he asked the faithful not to be disturbed and to continue praying for the good of the Church.
