"There is corruption in the Vatican, but I am at peace," Pope Francis said in an interview with the Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica, The Italian Insider writes. 

"I am at peace. If there is a problem, I write a note to St. Joseph and I place it under the statue I have in my room," says the pontiff.

"It is a statue of St. Joseph sleeping, and now he sleeps on a mattress of notes!" the head of the Holy See joked.

In fact, Francis said he has never felt so calm: "I do not mind admitting that what I am experiencing is a completely new experience for me. In Buenos Aires I was more anxious, I admit. I felt more tense and worried. I have experienced a sensation of profound peace ever since I was elected. It has never left me; I live in peace. I cannot explain it."

On the topic of sexual abuse, the pope explained, "If there are any religious involvements in this, it is clear that it is the presence of the devil that destroys the work of Jesus (…) But I say clearly: this is a disease. If we are not convinced that this is a disease, then we cannot properly resolve the problem."
