ORIGINAL: hlen5 I wonder if the Vatican will have a yard sale?? I can't help but wonder what the value of all the property the Vatican owns is. My guess is that the church is anything but poor. The Pope is not the Catholic Church, only it's elected leader. Francis took a vow of poverty, not the Catholic Church. However, the Roman Catholic Church by any measure is the largest charitable contributor in the world, its not even close. I do understand that. And I applaud his message. It just seems a little odd for me (since I'm not Catholic or very religious in the typical sense) to hear the Pope discuss the sins of money when the church he represents is not only wealthy but qualifies as its own country. Regardless, I realize it does exponentially more good with it's wealth than harm.
