but as cardinal and pope he would return to the theme of the dangers of privileging institutional ties, emphasizing that the church would do better to shed bricks and mortar–universities, hospitals, parochial schools, and the like–rather than have them animated by anything less than a purely orthodox faith.
Considering how Cardinal Bergoglio lived by example, we know that he chose to reside in a small apartment, rather than in the elegant bishop's residence in the suburb of Olivos. Since his election, several freepers have stated they are drawn to this man's humility and simple lifestyle. After being away from the church, they now feel called by him to come home. Oftentimes, reverts and converts are the ones who ignite the faith in others.
Do we know anything at all about that apartment, or it's size?
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.
