CHURCH FOR THE POOR
Pope Francis renounced the spacious papal residences within the Apostolic Palace and by no means moved out of the Vatican visitor home the place he and the opposite cardinals who entered the conclave of 2013 had been billeted in easy rooms.
From the beginning, Francis despatched clear alerts to monks and bishops about the kind of Church he needed.
He stated there was no room for “careerists or social climbers” among the many clergy, instructed cardinals they need to not reside “like princes,” and stated the Church shouldn’t “dissect theology” in lush salons whereas there have been poor folks across the nook.
“If investments in banks fall, it’s a tragedy and other people say ‘what are we going to do?’ but when folks die of starvation, don’t have anything to eat or undergo from poor well being, that is nothing. That is our disaster at the moment. A Church that’s poor and for the poor has to struggle this mentality,” he stated early in his papacy.
