Saying no, no, no to the Vatican Motel 6, Pope Leo has finally moved in to His Holiness’ Palace, fit for a pope and His Holiness’ papal court.
Pope Leo takes possession of apartment in Apostolic Palace
Vatican News
On Saturday afternoon, March 14, Pope Leo XIV will take possession of the apartment in the Apostolic Palace, as he moves, with some of his closest collaborators, into the rooms used by his predecessors. The news was confirmed by Matteo Bruni, Director of the Holy See Press Office.
The Pope lived in the Vatican’s Palazzo del Sant’Uffizio, where he had already resided while serving as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops.
The papal apartment, which has now been renovated, is located in the Third Loggia of the Apostolic Palace. It includes several rooms, among them the private study room, where the Pope appears at the window for the Angelus in St. Peter’s Square, a library, and a small chapel.
On 11 May 2025, Leo XIV removed the seals that had been placed on the door of the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace on 21 April, following the death of Pope Francis, who had chosen to live at Casa Santa Marta.
The first Pope to reside in these rooms in the Third Loggia was Saint Pius X (1903–1914).

Does this mean that he is using the old (Benedict's) apartment? Someone on youtube was saying that Leo would move into a rear-facing apartment one story higher., but this note suggests otherwise. Not that it really matters
I think it is the normal apartment.
I am glad Pope Leo is not one of those "look at me and see how virtuous, I am."
Father McDonald,
This is a barn burner article about the late Pope Francis. Please read it but you may not want to publish it here because it talks about folks who are like MT Suit who posts here and may not be able to handle the truth:

Here is an excerpt:
"There are the papolaters, ridiculous and short-sighted figures who, in order to maintain a supposed "communion with the Papacy," are willing to approve and condone any nonsense; and go even further in their grave heterodoxies. The bishops belong to this species, as do certain imbecile laity who follow them, dazzled. "
That Papal Reception Room is in every way exquisite. No mere poke in the eye over at the (SC) National Catholic Reporter; it's a double racoon-mask shiner. Love it!
How come the pope "takes possession" of an apartment and the rest of us just "move in"?
We’re not the pope.
With the danger of another manufactured "schism" and the continuing rot of appointing lousy bishops and the intensified homosexualization of the clergy, it's SO reassuring to know what rooms are occupied by the current papal placeholder. Thanks for providing such essential news!
So glad you are comforted and can deal with yours and other’s foibles.
Thank God K isn’t the Pope, he would be the death knell
Anythin Leo does to undo Francis is fine in my books. Francis was a mean spirited j-rk
