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 indicators to clergymen and bishops about the kind of Church he wished.
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 endure from poor well being, that is nothing. That is our disaster as we speak. A Church that’s poor and for the poor has to combat this mentality,” he stated early in his papacy.
