Sez the guy whose organization is so mired in scandal that it can hardly move. Clean up your own mess, Cardinal, before you start preaching to others.

And sell the Vatican art treasures while you’re at it. The money raised would go a long way to fighting “climate change”.

“And sell the Vatican art treasures while you’re at it.”

No don’t sell them. They invite us to lift our spirits up from an oppressive, horizontal secularism. The modernists construct some of the ugliest buildings and banal art in human history. We need the great works of art to inspire civilization to aspire to rise back up out of this dark age. To say we should just hawk sacred art for passing lucre is to concede to the liberal humanist error of placing the body above the soul and the material ahead of the spiritual.

“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?”
