No one knows who the new Pope will be, but it can be said with certainty
that he will be temporarily staying in a new apartment after he is
elected.
“The new Pope will be staying here because the apartment in the Apostolic Palace is still sealed and it needs some renovations,” Father Federico Lombardi told journalists March 8.
“Like Pope Ratzinger,” he explained, “he will be staying in Casa Santa Marta for the first few weeks.”
The future Pope will be staying in a suite that features a modest bedroom, sitting room and study.
