Several Italian newspapers with reputable sources in the Vatican said the clergyman has lived for years in the Saint Martha’s guesthouse.
Pope Francis, 83, also uses the building as his residence, to take his meals and for private meetings.
Pope Francis has remained largely secluded since coming down with a cold at the end of last month.
