Why, the Pope sounds positively pauperish the way you describe him. One meal shy of total destitution. Fortunately for him, he is surrounded by all the gold, and silver and art, and jewels, and ermine, and marble that religious institutions were commanded by Christ to own. not. If not for those Pope Perks, I’m sure he would be riding around in his Ice Cream Truck, selling Popesicles to earn enough for a bowl of soup and a piece of bread a day.

The Pope owns much less than you do. The Pope owns virtually nothing. I'll bet that we will not mistake you for a penniless hermit.
