    I am sure, like the president, or other leaders of a country or religion, he has a staff who manage a social and business schedule for him. He has people to meet, places to go, and people who help him get there.

    I doubt he is a prisoner in his "palace." I am sure if he wanted to go visit someone or go somewhere the proper arrangements would be made (perhaps not announded to the general public for security reasons) and he would/could/does go out.

    He doesn't go out to MacDonalds or bowling or anything, but I am sure he is also not confined to stay in his Vatican City residence if he has strong wishes to go somewhere. He is, after all pretty powerful in those parts. So I guess if he wants pickles at 2am he gets them. And likewise, if he wants to go out somewhere, if it is reasonably safe for him, his helpers and advisors and bodyguards will arange it for him.

    He's out of the Vatican now. He's visiting Turkey this week. As for running to McDonald's, he probably could, but the Popemobile is too tall for the drive-thru.

    Seriously though, he probably has as much freedom of movement of any head of State would, like the President or Queen Elizabeth. Anywhere they want to go, they can, but it involves guards, police, motorcades, etc.

    Yes he may go out whenever he wants but must be protected. It is not safe for him to go out alone.
