To me, Pope Francis is expressing "The Simplicity that is in Christ" (2008 Annual Meeting theme - see Sept 08 Journal report @ http://journal.christianscience.com/issues/2008/9/126-9/the-simplicity-that-is-in-christ). The inspiring example he is setting points to the core teachings of Christ Jesus, who had no ideology, but taught love, purity, goodness, humility, forgiveness, gratitude, and joy and the "blessings manifold" (see Hymn 314) we can expect as his followers.
