The Pope has less money and possessions than you do. Think on that.

You need to think on it. Reality is you have no idea what the pope has only what you are told and then add you have no idea what I have - equals a statement that truly lacks substance.

JPII left an estate that was comprised of nothing that needed to be disposed of. If you possess a car or a house, you have more than he did.

I could be in a class where there are hundreds of millions have less than me - that wouldn't make the pope unique.

It also does not change the fact that the Pope does not have wealth and the heroes and aftermath of the Reformation did and do.

However, the Vatican/RCC are into a 'poor attitude' with their 'vows of poverty'. Like being poor is a virtue. Yet, the pope lives in opulence with all it's pomp. 'Do as I say and not as I do'.

I'm assuming ignorance of the Pope's lifestyle here. You may wish to actually research facts before you post.

The pope is a KEPT man.

Did you come up with all by yourself?

His body did and the only thing that matters is the soul and he gave that to Mary.

It also does not change the fact that the Pope does not have wealth ...

The unbiblical 'vow of poverty' took care of that - however, he lived a very wealthy lifestyle as a welfare recipient - his sheep support his opulent lifestyle.

It's ignorance is on your part. You portray him as going through garbage and begging on the corner and living in section 8 housing. Reality is - his subjects kiss his ring while someone shines the Mercedes and the seamstress makes his glittery garments and the chef prepares his meals while others are cleaning the marble. Say one thing - do another. Give to your church, there are lifestyles that need to be supported. It's called giving to the poor in Catholicese.

Popes are the continuation of Roman Emperors. No association with Jesus - who said 'Come, follow Me'. They chose a worldly secular path - the wide road. Sola Popa indeed.

Maybe you should do some research on the Pope's lifestyle before claiming that he lives in poverty. Here's just a small description of the kitchen in his apartment. Click here for full article

Loredana is the queen of the kitchen, which was renovated in 2005 with onyx countertops and gray shelves. She prepares meals on a big marble table for Benedict, who turns 84 on Saturday, and any invited guests. Pasta dishes are her specialty: including pasta with salmon and zucchini, or rigatoni with prosciutto. She keeps in touch with the Vatican supermarket and chooses which vegetables to get from the garden of Castel Gandolfo, a papal retreat in the hills south of Rome.

Onyx countertops and marble tables don't sound like he's living in poverty. I have formica countertops - can't afford onyx, granite or marble. Just which one of us is living in opulence?

This photo definitely shows the squalor that the Pope is living in..... /sarcasm
