He lives with his employees, and it appears he likes it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who?<\/span><\/p>\n

Pope Francis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Holy Father told those attending this morning\u2019s mass that he plans to continue living in the Casa Stanta Marta rather than move into the papal apartment. This residence normally houses Vatican employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

This pope lived shunned the Archbishop\u2019s residence in Buenos Aires to live in a small apartment when he was a cardinal. He begins the days of his Pontificate with a morning mass that he has invited street sweepers, Vatican gardeners, the residency staff and the Vatican\u2019s newspaper staff to attend.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He wears black shoes, doesn\u2019t like limousines, and makes his own telephone calls.<\/p>\n

Not only do I love our Pope, but he\u2019s beginning to get through to me, at least a little bit.<\/strong> I spend more on toys, tech toys in particular, than the poorest of the poor on this earth make in a year. If Apple sells it, I own it. My husband says I\u2019m competing with Imelda Marcos as to who has the most shoes.<\/p>\n

Maybe I need to re-think my priorities. After all, if the Pope can do it, then shouldn\u2019t we?<\/p>\n

Details of the story from CNA\/EWTN:<\/p>\n

Vatican City, Mar 26, 2013 \/ 10:06 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>)<\/span>.- Pope Francis said this morning he will stay at Saint Martha\u2019s residence instead of moving to the Apostolic Palace, according to the Vatican press office.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the Mass ended this morning, the Pope told those present that he intends to remain in the Casa Santa Marta and stay with the employees,\u201d said the Holy See\u2019s press office director, Father Federico Lombardi.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis has been staying at the residence instead of the papal apartment because of renovations that were taking place there. According to the Associated Press, those updates have been completed and the apartment is ready for the Pope to move in.<\/p>\n

He has invited street-sweepers, Vatican gardeners, the residency\u2019s staff and the Vatican newspaper\u2019s staff to take part in the daily Mass.<\/p>\n

The seals of the papal apartment have been removed, but the Argentinian Pope will remain in St. Martha\u2019s residence for the time being.<\/p>\n

Fr. Lombardi did not say if the Pope will move out in the future.<\/p>\n

When he was in Buenos Aires, Pope Francis lived in a small apartment, instead of the grand archbishop\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n

For years, he cooked his own meals and traveled on public transport around the city. (Read more here<\/a>.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
