Grandiose Vatican... always the same.
Popes come, popes go.
Nothing ever happens.

(With apologies to Dr. Otternschlag)

[Hieronymus]

Love your tag line I’ve quoted it a few times.

A Pope in the 13th century, when things were going well and Rome seemed to be doing well said “No longer can Peter say ‘silver and gold have I none.’” His interlocutor retorted “Neither does he say ‘stand and walk.’”

What a burn.

Thought you’d like it.
