Pope Francis’s Aesthetics of Humility He chose a simple white cassock over velvet robes, disseminated photos of him kneeling before inmates and refugees, and believed in art as an intrinsic human right.

Pope Francis’s papacy embodied St. Francis’s declaration in his monastic rules, “let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.” The result was a profound aesthetics of humility, which demonstrated a focus on the Christian social gospel.
