The "Vatican Mansion" houses many offices and some officials already so where would you put everybody? The Papal Apartment has a couple of bedrooms, an office, a Chapel and sitting room and a dining room.

Yes, from Apostolic times, the Church has cared for the sick and dying and therefore many Orders run hospitals.

The artwork which men have created to give glory to God belongs to all of us. Would you have it sold and the collection broken up amongst wealthy pagans? In the Vatican Museums they may be enjoyed by all visitors.

You are right to put quotes around Vatican Mansion. My bad.

It's not a mansion, it is a palace.

It is also known as the Papal Palace and the Palace of the Vatican. The Vatican itself refers to the building as the Palace of Sixtus V in honor of Pope Sixtus V.


Plenty of room.

The Papal Apartment has a couple of bedrooms, an office, a Chapel and sitting room and a dining room.

That's the Papal Apartments

And Francis doesn't live there. He lives in the Vatican guesthouse--a suite, quite large and opulent, as fitting for a king in a palace.

Would that be a rule, only sold to pagans? [interesting "leading" question.] Not to museums reachable by those that can't come to the Vatican? Not to Christians? Not to Catholics?

Yes, from Apostolic times, the Church has cared for the sick and dying

Apostolic times, when was that. And am I correct in assuming when you capitalize "Church" it means the Catholic church?

Thanks for posting a reply.
