JAKARTA - Pope Francis rejected luxury facilities during his visit to Indonesia on September 3-6. Ignasius Jonan, who is the Chair of the Pope Francis Visit Committee to Indonesia, said the leader of the Catholics would use the Innova Zenix civilian vehicle.

Jonan also explained Pope Francis would not stay at luxury hotels. He will spend the night at the Vatican Embassy, Jakarta.

"So don't stay at the hotel," he said.

For information, Pope Francis will travel avatoly to a number of countries in Asia Pacific. One of them is Indonesia.

He is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, September 3. Pope Francis will carry out a state agenda with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to Catholic monks and monks.
