Pope Leo XIV Moves into Traditional Papal Apartment

0:00Reporting from the Daily News, now I'm Cory with the latest Global Headlines. Pope Leo, the 14th, has officially moved into the Pable Apartment in the Apostolic Palace. This is the same Therfore residents overlooking St. Peter Square that Pope Francis famously avoided during his 12-year papacy. Leo, the first United States Pope, took up residence there on Saturday along with his closest aides, marking a shift as his pontificate approaches it. One-year anniversary Earlier this year, after his election last May, Leo stayed in a modest flat at the Palazzo del Santifizio. Meanwhile, Vatican workers spent the next 10 months renovating the apartment, updating its electricity, plumbing, and other systems that had fallen behind. Francis preferred the simpler Santa Marta residents, a hotel-like spot for visiting priests, because he wanted to live among others and shun papal. That choice took over the entire second floor, cutting space for guests. Leo, however, embraces more traditional papal customs.

1:02Conservative voices have welcomed the move as a nod to the office's heritage. Leo first claimed the space right after his election, following protocol even though Francis passed away in his hotel room on April 21. This comes as Leo ramps up changes, including his latest appointment earlier this week of Spanish Archbishop Luis Madin de San Martín, to lead the Vatican's charity office. His team features key figures like Peruvian Secretary, Monsignor Edgar Iván, Ramay Kuna Inga, Nigerian priest Edward Danyang Daleng, and aides from the first time.
