This decision by the pontiff is seen as an effort to expedite the process and ensure a thorough investigation. The specific details of the powers granted were not immediately disclosed, but such a move by the leader of the Catholic Church is noteworthy for its direct involvement in legal matters, especially outside the typical ecclesiastical court systems.
