we know that he chose to reside in a small apartment

I thought that was a strange statement, since you know that we don't know anything at all about it really, not even it's size.

We know that he gave up the Bishop's Residence in favor of a "small" apartment. Where os there any confusion? What are you suggesting? Why don't you research the size of his apartment and post it to the forum.

Reportedly 56.6520021 square meters for tax purposes. The legal minimum size of an apartment in most of the EU is 9 sq meters and this would be a big closet. A one bedroom apartment is taken to be 70 sq meters or less.
