At least it’s not a heresy. I haven’t been to the Vatican for quite a while, but it might not be a bad thing to have another nearby place for quick meals available for people who are visiting there. When I last went, I think all there was nearby were sidewalk food carts.
This garbage has got to stop.
>>You are Peter and upon this rock I shall build my Church.<<
Someone got their Aramaic messed up and came up with “on this KROK I will build my church.”
That’s not been my experience.
At 3:6, St. Peter says, "Gold and silver I have none. How about a Big Mac?"
The anti-capitalist, communist Bergoglio is, at heart a capitalist.
The rent at VacDonalds is over $30,000 per month.
Question: How much is a Happy Meal, a fish sandwich and
are the drinks only a $1.00? Just Curious.
There has been a McDs right next to the Parthenon for years. The signs allowed are tiny and not lit.
I assume this one is located close by the Vatican post office, that would seem the easiest location. The analogy with Jesus at the Temple is not a good one. The McDs is not inside St. Peter’s itself.
The Church has real problems, problem much larger than this one, which is a nothingburger, heh.
St. Peter’s has been a tourist destination rather than a pilgrimage church for decades. If you want to pilgrimage there are many other churches in Rome which qualify, St. Helen’s being probably the best, given its astounding relics. St. Peter In Chains is a good one two, and you can see Michangelo’s Moses there as well, a twofer.
If you are determined to pilgrimage at the Vatican, sign up for the Scavi Tour, a guided only tour with 12 people at a time. It takes you below the Vatican basement, to the site of St. Peter’s grave, about 20 feet below the main altar in the Basilica.
You got a problem with capitalism?
You got a problem telling right from wrong?
I thunk that’s the pope who has that problem
I’d order the water. Who knows what it might cure?
You probably had a problem with Jesus cleansing the Temple. It was capitalism after all; right , isn’t that how we justify everything??
Matthew 21:12-13: 12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers
Jesus had a problem with price gouging and the manner in which the transactions were taking place.
It says just steps from Vatican City. It’s probably in one of the buildings the church owns outside the walls. Anyone who has been there knows there are lots of restaurants and cheesy (and not so cheesy) tourist shops right along the walls, and just outside the square.
It’s a false equivalency. The Vatican is a city. People live there and work there. Why would you deny them access to affordable dining choices?
Yep, like I wrote, this is a nothingburger, especially in Italy.
My favorite McDs are in France. You can get wine!
