Rather than live in the papal apartments, he chose to stay in a vatican guesthouse

Pope francis is seen as humble and has been recognised to be "less formal" than his predecessors

As an example of his humility, he chose silver for his ring instead of gold and used his own, previously existing cross

Another example is when he refused the traditional papal mozzetta (cape) upon his election

Pope francis is viewed as a patient, wise and understanding leader. His many loving attributes make him open to charity work and other such activities that previous popes wouldn't engage in

This leader has inspired people world-wide and is slowly moving the catholic church into a friendlier and open direction.
