So many things I thought I’d never see. I never thought I’d see a time where hearing something like the Vatican going broke makes me smile. My mother was a Catholic.
its not "one for all"...its "all for one"...the Vatican takes...the people give....
My grandmother used to say “It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow somebody some good.”
The Vatican was always on a slow death. Maybe its best days are far behind it. This pope is an idiot.
My problem here is the drop off in museum attendance. The best foreign trip I ever took was to Rome in 1999. The Vatican and it’s museums were the highlight. The prices were reasonable and The hospitality was superb. Since I’m a slipped Protestant, that’s a high compliment. Otherwise, seeing the Church under the present anti-Catholic, anti-Christian,communist false Pope fall on hard times gives me no troubles.
