Well I am not sure the Pope lives in Splendor. I guess if living in a Church and a museum is Splendor then maybe it is. The Pope comments must be read as a whole. I tried to do that in my comment section. He is or neither is the Church, is dictating the specifics of how to deal with this problem. The Church is just reminding us of certain moral principles that cannot be abandoned. Its not a either/or situation.

I really doubt he's living in a single wide trailer in the vatican. Him and the rest of the catholic big wigs live in pretty comfortable surroundings, supported by poverty-striken peasants from all over the world.

Let the vatican and every other religion lead by example. If they want to see illegal aliens cared for then they should be emptying their treasury to take care of them, not telling us to empty ours. Put up or shut up - It is one or the other .

America is the most generous country on earth and we have a huge national dept. We need to stop and fix our own problems first before we can take on more.
