Pope Francis said on Saturday it pained him to see priests driving flashy cars, and told them to pick something more "humble".

As part of his drive to make the Catholic Church more austere and focus on the poor, Francis told young and trainee priests and nuns from around the world that having the latest smartphone or fashion accessory was not the route to happiness.

"It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can't do this," he said.

"A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world," he said.

"What Would Jesus Drive"

...money-changers out of the temple?

[John Leland 1789]

Jesus would, and will, drive a white horse.

But first he drove the foal of a donkey.

We can look at this two ways: As a carpenter he would have driven a diesel powered dualie pickup. As the leader of the apostles he would have driven a large SUV with third row seating, such as a Suburban.

Yep! Jesus needs only *1* hp to wipe out the largest army ever assembled!

Speaking with the language of the left.

Well put! He will also ride down from the clouds wielding a double edged sword!

people are employed to make new cars and thus take care of their families. the peoplebuying new cars get a new reliable vehicle that will get them to work and where they need to go, and may be more energy efficient than their older car.

now, if he wants to comment on people and personal greed or lavish living and thinking about only satisfying their own desires and whims, go to town. but i wouldn’t begrudge a family who gets a new car every now and then. al my cars are used but someone’s got to buy the new cars.

[Viennacon]

haha. Best comment of the day.

[Joe 6-pack]

Acts 2:1 indicates that the Apostles came together in one Accord.

Pope Francis wasn't speaking to the laity. He was talking to priests and nuns.
