He has personally
sent money to old
women struggling
on a pension and to
immigrants. He has
personally called
people who have
written him
letters. Is Pope
Francis now secretly
sneaking out of the
Vatican at night to
give money to the
poor?
The speculation that
he may be doing so
arises from an interview with Archbishop
Konrad Krajewski, “Almoner of His Holiness”
– a little-known post that dates back to the
13th century that involves distributing
money from the Holy See to the poor and
marginalized.
“When I say to him ‘I’m going out into the
city this evening’, there’s the constant risk
that he will come with me,” said the Polish
prelate.
When asked directly if Pope Francis ever
joined him on these evening trips into the
city, Archbishop Krajewski only smiled and
said “Next question, please.” Some take that
as an implicit suggestion that the Holy
Father indeed is going incognito into the
streets to give alms as he did while Buenos
Aires.
“That’s what he’s like – at the beginning (of
his papacy) he didn’t think of the
awkwardness that he might create. As
archbishop of Buenos Aires, when he was
known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio,
the future pontiff “would go out at night . . .
to find people, talk with them, or buy them
something to eat. He would sit with them
and eat with them on the street. This is
what he wants from me,” Krajewski said.
Rumors of past Popes sneaking out of the
Vatican are plentiful, including the stories
that Pope John XIII would sneak out to walk
and enjoy the beauty of Rome at night or
that Pope Pius XII would dress as a
Franciscan during WWII to assist with
efforts to smuggle Rome’s Jewish
population to safety.
