After his election, Pope Francis returned to a hotel in Rome belonging to the Catholic Church, where he was accommodated until the beginning of the Conclave, and He insisted that he would pay the account, although he was already in charge of the business himself.
In the morning after his election, Pope František asked the driver to take him to the hotel for the spiritual Domus Internationalis Paulus VI, where he was staying during the Cardinals meeting in front of the Conclave, ie the Pope’s secret choice. “He wanted to take your luggage and bags. You left all things there,” the Vatican spokesman said.
“Then he stopped at the office, greeted with everyone and decided to pay the account for the room … He made sure to be a good example of how priests and bishops should behave,“The Vatican spokesman added. The spokesman did not state the amount of the account.
Jorge’s Bergoglia accompanied from her native Argentina the reputation of a gentle and moderate person. He was the first pope in 1300 years born outside Europe and the first to marry the name of St. Francis of Assisi – It is a gesture of solidarity with the poor.
Father Pawel Rythel-Andrianik, who lived a hotel in the center of Rome, where Bergoglio was also accommodated, told Reuters that he was surprised when the Pope insisted on equalizing the account: “I think he doesn’t have to worry about the account. The guesthouse belongs to the Church and now the Church is his.”
Knight-Andrianik said Bergoglio was a frequent guest of the hotel: “When we ate at the table, one didn’t realize he was a cardinal if he didn’t know him anymore. He was like any other priest.” “He never asked for a car, though he could. Always went by the metro or on foot, “ He remembered the Father.
