A luxury shopping centre called Vatican Mall with 57 shops will open in November near St Peter's Basilica. The three entrances are on Via della Conciliazione, Piazza di Porta Cavalleggeri and Via Urbano VIII, 16c, including a parking lot for tourist buses.
The building belongs to the Vatican. It is noticeable that Francis has been putting his ideology of a "poor church for the poor" on hold for some time.
EFE.com (7 October) explains the convoluted ownership of the property. The Vatican building is managed by the Italian company Terminal Vaticano, which leases it to the Dicastery for Evangelisation, which passed it on to the company Galak, which opened the shopping centre.
According to Italian media, the mall was approved by the crying Cardinal Tagle, the prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelisation, Francis' favourite successor among the oligarchs.
Ping
Unbelievable.
This will finally get the faithful to declare him a heretic.
Nice, luxury shopping
Museum tours
Gay orgies.
I like those Italian scarves.
Is this from The Babylon Bee, really?
Money changers in the temple? Where have I heard that one before?
Oh no. Pinapple and Canadian Bacon (or ham) is my favorite pizza.
This pope seems to have selective memory about the Scriptures.
John 2:13-16
King James Version
15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove
them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen;
and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things
hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
The Bee let the Pope get out in front on this one.
I guess the Vatican has been losing business to Dubai. /s
10% to the Big (hat) Guy.
How can anyone in Franky's position lack complete self awareness? Next he'll have Jim Bakker pitching "magic healing relics".
Closet Capitalist?
Will any venues be selling rope?
Roll on up for the price is down/ Come on in for the best in town/ Take your pick of the finest wine/ lay your bets on this bird of mine/ Name your price; I’ve got everything/ Come and buy, it’s all going fast/ Borrow cash on the finest terms/ Hurry now while stocks still last
It will be just like one of those “mega-churches.” Which are, in comparison, mini-churches. So the Vatican will be just like one of those tiny mega-churches.
