The pope normally lives in the Papal Apartments in the Vatican City, in Rome. However, Pope Frabcis has chosen to live in the Duomo Sancta Marta, a hostel constructed to house cardinals during conclaves or as a place for visitng dignitaries and clergy to stay when visiting the Vatican. Francis has a small modest apartment there.

The pope lives in the Papal Apartments in Vatican City.

Answer

The opulent 19-room Papal Apartments in the Apostolic Palace is the official residence of the pope, however Pope Francis does not live there. On first seeing the papal apartments he is reported to have exclaimed, "But there is room here for 300 people!"

He chose to live in a smaller but still quite comfortable and tastefully furnished apartment in Casa Santa Marta, on the opposite side of Vatican City.

Traditionally, the pope lives in the opulent 19-room Papal Apartments in the Vatican, however the present pontiff, Pope Francis, does not live there. On first seeing the Papal Apartments he is reported to have exclaimed, "But there is room here for 300 people!" Instead he chose to live in a smaller but still quite comfortable apartment in Casa Santa Marta, on the other side of Vatican City.

The Pope can also choose to stay in the Pontifical Palace in the Italian city of Castel Gandolfo during the hot summer months but, again, Pope Francis has indicated he will forego this pleasure, throwing the magnificent gardens open for guided tours. He will remain on duty in the Vatican City.

The pope usually lives in the Papal Apartments of the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican. In the summer, he resides outside of the Vatican, at the Castel Gandolfo. Pope Francis, however, has chosen to live in a small, comfortable apartment in the Casa Santa Marta which was built to house visiting dignitaries as well as the cardinals during a papal conclave.

The Holy Father lives in the Catholic Church, as should every believing Catholic. If you are asking about his physical place of residence, he normally lives in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City, not in a "church".
