The Pope should lighten up considering the Vatican hordes most of the worlds GOLD!

And and they own all of those oil wells in Saudi Arabia, too. Microsoft? Wholly owned by the Vatican.

LOL ... get real. The Vatican has a budget the size of a medium-sized American city, and often operates in the red.

I'm always amused by the hilarious stories people believe about my faith. I'm also often amused by the way people will believe, on any topic, stories "great-aunt Hilda told Jennifer's mom she heard Anna's boyfriend read in a book uncle Brian gave him" when the facts of a situation are easily available to anyone who bothers to do a little research.

Conscience bothering you a bit?

Naw.. the Church I went to did not have a gift shop.

Shove your sanctimonious, holier-than-thou hypocrisy where the sun doesn't shine, buckwheat.

Is this philosophy for cash-only day-workers? Calling Christmas shopping materialism somewhat denatures materialism.
