Holy Father’s open secret: This is what’s in my pocket

When a man empties his pockets in front of a crowd, it is usually a statement: I have nothing to hide. That is what happened at the Safaricom Stadium Kasarani as Pope Francis emptied his pockets to inspire thousands of youth who had turned up to see that life, with prayer, was fulfilling.

For a man whose job is to spiritually lead an estimated 1.2 billion Catholics around the world to heaven, you would expect say a state-of-the-art smartphone or some other gadget to help make his work easier. Any other man would have keys, perhaps a phone, and a wallet.
