Disclaimer: not religious at all...but in all fairness to Pope Francis, he was a Jesuit, rejected living in the grand Papal apartment, and chose to live in a super simple 2 room apartment. The first pope to ever do so.

Every time I learn something new about him, I realize the Catholic Church must feel like they really fucked up by electing him.

[-] Artemis@lemmy.ml 29 points 10 months ago

Totally agree - he really tried to modernize the church as best he could. Apparently he stacked the cardinals with numerous progressives so hopefully they can keep the momentum up!

Like 80% of cardinals in office have been nominated by him.

Eh, he still fucking hated trans people. They kept their core values.

One step at a time...he was the most progressive pope ever...let's keep it up!

Yes, that's his small 2 room suite in the Vatican guesthouse (not the palace). For comparison, this article shows the difference between his quarters, the palace, and the homes of some arch bishops.

ETA: 2 room, not 2 bedroom suite.

Living with their secretary-priest is code for something?
