Pope Francis has decided to shun a grand papal apartment on the top floor of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace in favour of a modest two-room residence.
His spokesman said he was "trying out this type of simple living" in a communal building with other priests.
In doing so he has broken a tradition which is more than a century old.
The decision reinforces the newly-elected Pope's austere reputation. As archbishop of Buenos Aires he refused to move into the Bishop's Palace.
Preferring more modest accommodation, he also often cooked his own meals.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

I am confused. He is a very smart man with degrees in science. He has a Ph.D. in science. What is going on here? Saint Francis of Assisi helped the poor and preferred to have a simpler life. The pope is following in his foot step.
