Pope Francis breaks stereotypes and surprise Swiss Guard

Pope Francis

On Wednesday morning, Pope Francis again surprised the world with their good deeds, despite breaking the traditional papal protocols. This time ordered him to rest and eat at one of his guards, who had to abandon their strict Swiss military tradition.

The Pope left his apartment in Santa Marta residence and found a Swiss guard guarding the door. Bergoglio asked if he had been up all night and got a “yes” answer.

“Stand up, not tired, asked the Pope.” It is my duty, your Holiness, for their safety, “the guard replied. The Pope retired to her apartment and returned carrying a chair.

“At least sit down and rest,” I asked Francisco, but the guard refused the offer saying that “the rules do not allow it.”

Pope: Do the rules?

Guard: Captain, your Holiness.

Pope: Well, I’m the Pope and ask him to sit.

The guard had no choice but to follow orders of the Holy Father. The Pope turned to leave, but not definitively. Soon after, came with bread and ham, and handed it to the agent, who did not leave his bewilderment. – “Bon appetit, my brother,” he said, and left.
