That art belongs to all of us, it is our patrimony. Why sell it and have it divided all over the world in private hands where only the wealthy could behold?
You fail to see the irony The pope is talking about caring for the poor sitting on one of the largest collections of wealth on the planet When brought up you talk about hospitals and orphanages When called on it you then have a reason not to sell The goal of the true Church (the one made up of all the redeemed not your particular sect) is not to amass wealth In this game he who dies with the most toys is not considered the winner We are to store treasure in heaven not here.
