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

I was led to believe I have more than him. I was going to have him over for a peanut and jelly sandwich.

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


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.

Maybe you should pay attention to what is posted.

I said that the Pope is not wealthy; indeed his possessions are few and I posted an attributed and excerpted passage from JPII's will. If you own a house or car, you have more wealth than he does.

LOL, you figured the Pope out. He went into the priesthood so he could live like a rich man.

you do realize that the Pope owns nothing of what is shown, it is the property of the Church and will be there for the next Pope and the one after that.
