Sistine Chapel 'is your house'

'Doors are always open'

(ANSA) - Vatican City, March 26 - Pope Francis greeted 150 homeless in the Sistine Chapel Thursday, telling them "this is your house". Francis shook hands with those he met and told them: "Welcome. This is the house of all, it is your house. The doors are always open for all". The pope thanked Papal Almoner Msgr Konrad Krajewski for setting up the visit, which he described as a "small caress" for the guests.
    The visit, quickly blessed by the pope when Cardinal Krajewski put it to him, is the latest papal effort for Rome's poor and homeless, many of whom sleep around the Vatican.
    Francis recently had special showers for the homeless installed in Bernini's famous colonnade.
    Before that he laid on a barber's service for street people to get their hair cut and have a wash and brush-up.
