A cardinal who conducts acts of charity for Pope Francis has restored power for hundreds of people in a building in Rome after climbing down a manhole and flipping a switch, local media report.
Cardinal Konrad Krajewski said he acted in "desperation" because the occupants of the state-owned property had spent a week without power and hot water.
Activists have been using the building to provide shelter for the homeless.
The electricity supplier cut the power due to debts of €300,000 (£260,000).
The sum is believed to have accumulated in the years since the unused building was taken over in 2013. It now houses more than 400 people, including nearly 100 children.

If only there was a charity organization that could have raised the money to pay the bill...
So, let’s get this straight... Cardinal Konrad is some sort of electricity Robin Hood.... jury-rigging utilities for deadbeats? Ain’t FrancisChurch grand?
Well Jesus did feed a multitude. But then, no one else had to pay for the loaves and fish.
That’s stealing.
Thou shalt not steal?
Wrong headline. Instead: pope makes cardinal initiate theft of service from electric company to prove to the world that he loves the poor.
Send the bill to Francis.
I can’t post the image because it’s a Getty, but Cardinal Krajewski looks like a [ahem] unique individual.
It absolutely is.
But no. For this disastorus pontificate, theft-of-services --- with a self-righteous smirk --- is the way to go.
How long, dear Lord, how long?
“I didn’t do it because I was drunk,” he reportedly added.
I won’t read any further. That comment can’t be topped.
