Papal Simplicity Redecorates Vatican with Fold-Out Cot and Plastic Forks

Pope Leo XIV has shocked interior decorators and Swiss art consultants alike by redecorating the Apostolic Apartments in a style Vatican insiders are calling �divine dorm room chic.� As part of his campaign for papal simplicity, Leo XIV removed six chandeliers, downsized his bed to a fold-out cot, and eats most meals with a single plastic fork labeled �Grace.� The wine fridge now stores iced tea and penance notes. The Pope�s only luxury? A single lava lamp he claims �glows with the spirit of Pentecost.� Visitors are offered foldable chairs, thrift-store candles, and a warm hug. �I�m not into marble floors,� the Pope admitted. �They�re too slippery for honest feet.� Clergy reactions range from panic to praise. One cardinal fainted upon discovering the Vatican minibar had been replaced with a shelf of Augustine�s writings and a box of instant oatmeal. The Pope insists, �If Jesus could sleep in a boat, I can sleep next to a laundry hamper.�
