Despite £ 300,000 pound of £ 300,000, Pope Francis had less than £ 100 in the amount of less than £ 100 – World News

Despite an annual salary of around £ 300,000, Pope Francis had a tiny fraction of it in personal wealth at the time of his death.

The 88-year-old died last Monday (April 21). Hundreds of thousands of grieving flocked to Rome to visit his body and take part in his funeral at the weekend.

The head of the Catholic Church, the real name of which is Jorge Mario Bergolio, died of a brain stroke that led to a coma and an irreversible heart failure when the Vatican announced that he “returned to the father's house”.

Pope Francis was known for being the “modest” Pope and avoiding some of the ancient traditions when he expressed his wishes for a “simpler” submissions.

This desire for less typical opulence, pomp and ceremony at his funeral was typical of a large part of his papacy.

The norm would be that it lives a lot of luxury to be the head of the Catholic Church, but Francis ignored a lot of it.

Instead of living in the usual residence of the Pope, he decided to stay in Casa Santa Mantra, which is usually used as a guest house. His body was lying there before he was brought to the basilica of St. Peter, where he was in the state from Wednesday.

Some have suggested that Francis had a personal assets of 16 million pounds thanks to his office such as his house, his car and his clothes.

However, the late Pope rejected the massive annual content of around £ 300,000 in order to adhere to his more modest lifestyle. It is assumed that he would donate this money for different means and trusts.

All of this was due to Francis' branch of Christianity, the Jesuit order. They not only devote themselves to “God in all things”, but are also devoted to combating social realities such as poverty and oppression as well as the omission of poverty, chastity and obedience.

Some sources therefore say that Pope Francis died with less than £ 100 based on his name due to his lifestyle.

Although his final assets were not entirely confirmed, he certainly had an economical nature and spent a large part of his life to help the less happy.

In 2019 he donated the building of the Palazzo to Rome. This decision was controversial at that time because it was outraged that he turned such a large palace into a homeless shelter.

He chose his papal name Francis according to St. Francis of Assisi, who is often referred to as the “poor man of Assisi”. Shortly after he was elected in 2013, he said journalist that he was inspired to take this name when he said as a cardinal next to him after counting the final coordination: “Don't forget the poor.”
