I have to say this is a good idea.

This is a lovely way to raise money for the poor.

I would love to win the Panama Hat! :-)

Is this not a mere continuation of the man’s infatuation with Judas?

Grand prize is a Fiat. Second prize is two Fiats.

Starting this week, the Vatican is raffling off tickets for a chance to win unwanted papal gifts that Francis doesn’t need. Raffle tickets cost €10 and can be purchased at a select few spots including the Vatican post office and at the Vatican’s tourist and pilgrimage bureau in St. Peter’s Square. The winners will be drawn on January 8, which makes the raffle tickets the perfect Christmas gift.

Now wait a minute.

Haven't we been told time and again that priests take a vow of poverty and that the pope doesn't own anything, which is supposed to somehow justify his living in opulence?

So how can he raffle off what is not his?

Does he have permission from the owners to do that?

Wonder if he is putting Benedict’s red shoes on the raffle block.
