FLORENCE, Italy (Reuters) - Pope Francis called on Tuesday for a Catholic Church that is not cosseted, self-centred and obsessed with power and money, as he faces new challenges to his financial reforms at the Vatican.

The Argentine pope, who made his comments during a day trip to Tuscany, has recently been hit by a scandal involving the leaks of documents purporting to show resistance by the Vatican's old guard to his reform efforts.
