Keep the weekly offerings in the individual neighborhoods which need the money more than the Vatican. Rome has more than enough gold and ermine and silver and jewels and Prada shoes...
Cut the ermine and silver and jewels and Prada shoes stuff. The vestments are museum pieces and the Vatican a museum. The First Baptist Church if Dallas, TX and many of the mega churches have as much material wealth as the Vatican, and its host of preachers and Amen corner people enjoy as much or more material wealth as the Vatican clergy. If they are going for apostolic poverty, let them imitate St. Francis and strip themselves of the Hart, Schaefner and Mark suits.
