It almost seems like the Pope wants to do for the Vatican what Obama is doing for America.
I am thinking they should just move the homeless into the Vatican ..there is lots of space there
That’s actually the end state plan of the rump rangers who have infiltrated The Vatican.
Showers are just phase one of the Plan.
They need to give them showers and clean them up a bit before they decide just which ones they wish to let in ......
They can’t find women either, with brothels be built too?
Will these showers be in the open air?
I’m sure there will be a long waiting line for the showers too.
He's joining the company of the elite-socialist pretenders and comforting the "poor," by sparing himself and afflicting the lowly public.
Funny how he wouldn't "ease the suffering of the poor" by building something in any of the Vatican's private areas - not even his nearby part-time summer residence at the Palace at Castel Gandolfo.
Showers for the homeless???
This is an act of religious faith, of helping the downtrodden, of caring for the least among us, an act of Christian charity???
Are these homeless better off because they have a shower?
In my opinion, if you want to help the homeless, you need to deal with their mental illness, and/or, whatever other circumstances in life caused their condition of homelessness. Why is it that they have no place to live?
Unless you deal with those issues, you are not helping the homeless.
Flame away, if anyone disagrees with this. I hate to see people being homeless, but, setting up showers or feeding programs alone do not really do anything about their situation.
I don’t know why we call them ‘homeless’.
Many people don’t own a home, but they don’t live in the street.
Many of these ‘vagrants’ are on the streets because that is where they want to be. I doubt they would want to live in the Vatican, even if invited.
If good old Pope Francis really wants to help the poor perhaps he should watch the movie Shoes of the Fisherman.
This is the kind of measure that marks a pope given to personal gestures and moral preening. What good is a shower for the homeless without clean clothes? And how do such accommodations contribute to the role of St. Peter’s as a place of pilgrimage for Catholic faithful? In the end, the result will be to foster aggressive beggary against the faithful and thereby diminish the experience of grace afforded by pilgrimage.
