However, as a Jesuit, he gave up a life of luxury by taking an oath of poverty, chastity, and obedience to Christ. He was the world’s first Jesuit pope.
Francis also made the shocking decision to live in a church guest home, the Domus Sanctae Marthae, rather than the
Opulent Apostolic Palace, which rocked the Vatican at the time, in keeping with his modest and lowly lifestyle.
The Pope slept in a single wooden bed with little other furnishings, according to freshly rediscovered photos of his stark and unfurnished bedroom.
He supposedly had a mini-bar in the living area, despite the fact that his suite left much to the imagination, with only one or two crosses representing Christ on the walls.
