A sign on Pope Francis' bedroom door, reading "Vietato Lamentarsi" (No Whining), has drawn attention. The sign was given to the Pope in 2017 by psychologist Salvo Noe. The sign warns against complaining, citing potential negative consequences like a victim complex. The sign was noticed in a photo of Cardinal Kevin Farrell sealing the Pope's suite at Domus Sancta Marta. The Pope initially considered putting the sign on his office door but placed it on his bedroom door instead.

A "Vietato Lamentarsi" sign, which translates to "no whining," was spotted on the door of Pope Francis's room in the Domus Sancta Marta 1. The sign gained attention when the Vatican released a photo of Cardinal Kevin Farrell sealing the papal apartment 1.
The sign was given to Pope Francis in June 2017 by psychologist Salvo Noe 1. Configured to resemble an Italian 'no smoking' sign, it cautions against developing a victim complex and encourages focusing on one's potential 1. The sign humorously warns that penalties for whining are doubled in the presence of children 1.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell oversaw the sealing of Pope Francis's suite of rooms at the Vatican guesthouse 1. This occurred alongside the customary sealing of the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace 1.
Salve Noe is an Italian psychologist and author of self-help guides 1. He claims to have worked closely with Pope Francis and has been referred to as the "pope's psychologist" in Italian media 1.
