I suggest that you visit the 13 million people living in the shanty-towns in metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, telling them that.  Bergoglio, traveled to and from the cathedral in Buenos Aires on an E-line train covered with graffiti.  He wore clerical black, and nobody on the train recognized him, because he appeared infrequently on TV and he avoided official receptions.

From the time he became auxiliary bishop, 1992, to become primate of Argentine, he submerged himself in the daily flux of humanity on public transportation, using the subway and the urban bus network.  He talked to the people riding with him, even listening to their confessions, if they asked him.  He was among the poor, common folk of the shanty-towns.

His home was in Villa Ramon Carrillo--the whole area was nick-named Villa miserias.  No single curial prelate, no cardinal president, or even a bishop within the Catholic church ever lived or traveled in poverty, with people submerged in poverty as Francis did.
