As Elio Cardinal Sgreccia, president emeritus of the Pontifical Academy for Life, said about the advent of McDonald’s, this is a “controversial, perverse decision to say the least.”

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.”

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.

I’d order the water. Who knows what it might cure?

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.

Plastic Jesus in the Happy Meal?

But unfortunately, the only item available on Fridays is the Filet O’ Fish.

You say your a Christian
But your a fake
Multinationals on the take
Starving children deserve a break today!

I’ve been to about 45 countries and the last thing I ever wanted to do was eat American fast food. I’d much rather eat the local cuisine.
