Pope Francis implored priests and nuns on Saturday to choose "modest" vehicles, saying he finds it unseemly when he sees the clergy driving flashy automobiles.
It was the latest call by the new pope to renew the Catholic Church's focus on the poor, an effort that has helped him win over American liberals. In May, he spoke out against the global financial system and the "cult of money."
