VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis says he is at peace with himself and not taking "tranquilising pills" while dealing with corruption in the Vatican and clergy sexual abuse.

"There is corruption in the Vatican but I am at peace," he told leaders of religious orders he met last November in the Vatican, according to a transcript published on Thursday.
