Yes, things cost money. And i know how ‘hurting’ Vatican must be..so let’s sale t-shirts, and pope plates and pope-on-a-rope-soap and fill the coffers. For ‘the work’, you know..

OK, how much does the visit cost since you know? How much does the Vatican spend on other things...’the work’ etc?
Does selling t-shirts not only help defray the costs, but maybe inspire someone to attend mass more? Give them a connection? Is there any good intention there, and if not, how do you know? How much do pope plates and pope-on-a-rope cost, or are you just being insulting because you are a bigot?
Since you are all in the know, thanks for the info. I would hate to think this is all from your spleen.
