To put a finer point on it, the Vatican was great compared to what it is now.
At least the pope seemed to be Catholic instead of a lying Marxist promoting a scam and trying to make all the world a third world country.
Pope Francis spreads the Gospel: Matthew, Marx, Luke, and John.
"...and Duck!"
Heck with it..whereever the nosey Socialist pope lives...
You got that right FRiend.
Now Pope John Paul II?
THERE was an anti-Communist Pope you could rely on. ;)
The Vatican City State.
Suppose some billionaire bought the Pieta. Where would he put it? Would it be open to the public?
And the moment he DID buy it, wouldn’t the cry go up: “You should sell the Pieta, and give the money to the poor!”
And suppose another billionaire bought it. The cry would instantly go up: “You should sell it and give the money to the poor!”
The sell-it-and-give-the-money-to-the-poor crowd will ALWAYS be griping, until somebody SMASHES the Pieta.
And where are the people griping to the French government: “You should sell the Mona Lisa and give the money to the poor!”
Pope Che should shut his socialist pie hole while he lives behind 50’ high castle walls, surrounded by art treasures Bill Gates could only dream about.
Unless he’s willing to take in 300 or so unscreened Muslim “immigrants” immediately, including 250 or so Muslim men.
Of course, he will have to be sensitive to their needs, and adjust his behavior, lest he offend them.
Hypocrite.
Barack Obama lives among art treasures and priceless antiques. Should he sell those?
The art treasures and opulent wealth are a side issue.
The real issue is that the Pope prescribes national suicide via open borders for every Western nation, but not for the Vatican, which is surrounded by 50 foot walls.
Hypocrisy doesn’t even come close to describing this duality in preaching and acting.
The previous two popes were professors. This one isn’t, and it shows.
Sentiment will only take you so far.
