the vatican has literally hordes of precious art they sit on and occasionally display while their people starve in third world countries. Did he mention that while slandering protestants?
So what? Someone once said “the poor will always be with us” when he was accused of the same thing by a ‘holy’ man named Judas. Just saying....
Even Protestants today lament the sorry state of Christian art centuries of Puritanical iconoclasm hath wrought. Vatican corruptions not withstanding...and the Vatican was always corrupt, even as gorgeous masterpieces like Notre Dame cathedral were built. Designed in the first place thanks to the robust, Catholic and medieval imagination from which her beauty emanated.
