How long has the Pope lived in the Vatican?

longer than the President has lived in the White House, Queen Elizabeth in Buckingham Palace, your Governor in his state mansion.....but none of these people OWN the property....they just live there while they hold office....big difference

Neither the Pope with his acceptance of Gays, nor Osteen with his love of mammon are part of any church I would belong to.

you must be a very lonely person....how sad....no sinners near you!!!

All I will say is this. If you do not think that within the Vatican there are treasures worth HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of Millions of dollars you need to buy a clue...............

if you were the caretaker at the Smithsonian and they gave you an apartment there to live in.....would all that stuff be yours????

the Pope owns virtually NOTHING

35,000 a recent study showed. 35,000 little napoleons, or should I say martin luthers?

Oh my - a 5,000 increase since the thread was posted this morning!

Just as Protestant leaders don’t own their churches. Perhaps your issue is with personal wealth then?

I prefer my spiritual leaders to be against sin instead of condoning it.

I have no isues with anything...true, the minister does not USUALLY own the church (sometimes does)....but he does own his ten million dollar mansion, and his plane, and his yacht, and his whatever.....the Pope owns virtually NOTHING.

not every one of course....what an asinine thing to say.....but far more ministers own ten million dollar mansions, of five million dollar mansions, or $250,000 houses, or $10,000 houses, than Popes own anything of consequence. and that's what the discussion was about....the opulance of the Pope.....sad

Look out, another ‘devotional’ Joel Osteen thread has just been posted. Remember - no discussion of any kind is allowed. You gotta be ‘devoted’ to Joel!

“I guess you’re the second perfect person to be born on the earth.”

Nope; the best I could be is third. There’s already been two: Jesus Christ and His Mother.

So you have more respect for people who takes money from the poor to buy a gold toilet then someone who purchased a regular old crapper with their own money?
