As I said, I would be much more impressed if your guy looked more like a homeless person and less than like the head of a law firm. After all, you ARE talking about apostolic poverty, are we not? BTW, the pope does not own the stuff he is wearing. Probably in terms of personal worth, Joe Ratzinger is worth much less than your guy. Lots of books and a grand piano. He is not even an art collector. Doesn’t have a wife and kids to support.
That is so typical of Rome. Rome tells the rest of the world to do as it says, but not as it does. What hypocrites.
The early church elders who led the beginnings of the Christian church dressed exactly like the congregation. These days, that means a suit and tie.
Not crowns and jewels and ermine and scarlet velvet and Prada shoes.
lol. If that's the best thing you can say about Ratzinger's vow of poverty, that he's not even an art collector, well, you've just proven my point.
