On 11 August, the Holy See published a Rescript granting Vatican City State employees expanded family rights, including paternity leave, special provisions for parents of disabled children, and updated rules for family allowances.

The document, signed by Maximino Caballero Ledo, Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy, and approved by Pope Leo XIV, followed an audience on 28 July in which Mr Caballero presented to the Pope the resolutions of the ULSA Council — a body bringing together representatives of the Holy See, the Governorate, and their staff.
