Francis has even joked about the site, saying in July: "The in the rear time represent were two or three popes, they didn't entrance sandwiched between themselves and they fought haughty who was the true pope!"
Having Benedict living in the Vatican, he further, "is like having a grandfather - a conscientious grandfather - living at home".
