“... importance of poverty to the Roman Catholic Church. “
Really hard to believe when they are worth trillions!
Whats so holy about ‘poverty’? Its like saying the almighty God of the Universe is not big enough or can bless me enough to meet all my needs. Not extravagance but enough to live on for an enriched life and giving Him the thanks and glory for His care and blessings.
The Vatican needs to sell ALL of its vast real estate holdings and give that money to the poor. Only then will the Pope have any credibility when he bashes capitalism and preaches against economic terrorism and supports faux climate change. This Pope still has many pedophiles in his church and continues to protect them. The hypocrisy of the Catholic Church is astounding: Managing and growing the largest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet while having a full blown Marxist as CEO.
