A rare glimpse of Pope Francis’s bedroom reveals how the pontiff lived: It's not what you'd expect

Pope Francis, who led the Catholic Church from 2013 to 2025, was admired for his commitment to simplicity and humility. He chose modest living arrangements, forgoing the Apostolic Palace for a simple room in the Domus Sanctae Marthae. His death on April 21st, 2025, prompted widespread remembrance of his teachings and actions, particularly his advocacy for inclusivity and social justice.
