LL>>> There is a soup kitchen at the Vatican???   
      
   BB>>Of course!  Don't you listen to this guy - his mission is to help   
   BB>>the poor.   
      
    LL> Well, everybody has to eat.  Even the poor.   
      
    Not until they learn to fish, according to the Tea Party.   
      
   BB>>I expect he'll sell off all that treasure to fund the kitchen.   
      
    LL> But without a bank to put all that money in, wouldn't it be   
    LL> best to simply give it all away?   
      
    Need a bank to handle the transaction either way.   
      
   BB>>Least he can do...   
      
    LL> The pope already paid Michelangelo for those frescoes on the   
    LL> ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.  And that is supposed to be   
    LL> God's house.  So who really owns all those works of art?   
    LL> Then again, there are also lots of other treasures, such as   
    LL> statues.  Lots of statues ...   
      
    More practical to charge admission to see the art and fund the   
    kitchen that way.
