I must disagree. I think it is disgraceful. Those were gifts given to the Pope by heads of countries.
I think it is an insult to those countries.

The Queen doesn’t keep all the gifts she receives from heads of state - she sends many of the gifts on to charities. And the President of the USA is not supposed to keep any personal items, either. I don’t know what they do with half the junk they are given. Well, of course, Bill Clinton regifted cheapie items to Monica.
I don’t see this as a particularly negative story about the Pope.

CORRECTION:

Any gifts from Germany?
