Augustinian Reformer Turns Vatican Office Into Shared Workspace

Pope Leo XIV has redesigned Vatican offices to reflect Augustinian values: humility, simplicity, and low back support. Out go the mahogany desks; in come IKEA tables and �prayer pods.� Staff now share confession cubicles and latte-free zones. Each department features a �sin jar� for prideful comments. Meetings begin with guided breathing and end with quotes from *The City of God*. The Pope says �no one should work in a tower of Babel when a bungalow of grace will do.� A bishop was caught using the meditation corner to nap�he now leads the Vatican mindfulness group, �Breathe Before You Brag.�
