‘Complaining Forbidden,’ reads poster on Pope’s door
July 14, 2017
Pope Francis has posted a sign on the door to his apartment in the St. Martha residence: “Complaining is forbidden.”
The sign, styled as a warning poster, says that people who complain suffer from poor morale and inability to solve problems. It recommends: “focus on your own potential and not on your limitations.”
The sign was a gift from an Italian psychologist, Salvo Noé, who met with the Pope after a public audience in June. Pope Francis immediately indicated his enthusiasm for the message, telling Noé: “I will put it on my office door.”

That also goes well with his other mandate for Bishops and Cardinals. "Just agree with me and don't ask questions.
