The culture of greed and selfishness is not only immoral, it hurts the economy.

Speaking of the Pope, pardon me for posting this but it’s been circulating around the office today:
Nescafe manages to arrange a meeting with the pope at the Vatican.
After receiving the papal blessing, the Nescafe official whispers, “Your Eminence, we have an offer for you.
Nescafe is prepared to donate $100 million to the church if you change the Lord’s Prayer from ‘give us this day our daily bread’ to ‘give us this day our daily coffee.’”
The pope responds, “That is impossible. The prayer is the word of the Lord. It must not be changed.”
“Well,” says the Nescafe man, “we anticipated your reluctance. For this reason we will increase our offer to $300 million.”
“My son, it is impossible. For the prayer is the word of the Lord, and it must not be changed.”
The Nescafe guy says, “Your Holiness, we at Nescafe respect your adherence to the faith, but we do have one final offer... We will donate $500 million - that’s half a billion dollars - to the great Catholic Church if you would only change the Lord’s Prayer from ‘give us this day our daily bread’ to ‘give us this day our daily coffee.’ Please consider it.”
And he leaves.
The next day the Pope convenes the College of Cardinals.
“There is some good news,” he announces, “and some bad news. The good news is that the Church will come into $500 million.”
“And the bad news, your Holiness?” asks a Cardinal.
“We’re losing the Wonderbread account.”

Did he make this address from his Billion dollar estate, aboard one of his fleet of vehicles or planes, or did he do it while jaunting around the world on the "believers" dime.
Talk about a hypocrite.
I think that Bernie Madoff has more credibility in this arena.

Ricochet. If you had bothered to read the whole story, you would know that the Pope would not use all the fancy stuff, the cars, the place to live etc.
Furthermore, Catholic Charities gives more to help the needy than any other entity, except the government. In excess of 160 billion.

So all that stuff is collecting dust?
What is he a hoarder?
Time to sell it all and give it away to charity, and open the Vatican doors to the poor and sick.
I understand you like him because he talks the talk, and even for the most part walks the walk.
I think HE would agree with me that the Catholic Church has grown into something that it was never supposed to be.
Unless you believe in the divine right of kings, manifest destiny and all that.
Who knows, you have some pretty whacked out beliefs, you may believe that.

How much has the Catholic church paid out in settlements due to actions of....well...wayward sons?
I wonder if the pope has an opinion about pedophilia that he could share with us- with a straight face?
Until this hypocrisy is rectified- I'm not really interested in his worldly opinions....sorry.....

Denise150, you're the one who is spewing bs
How so? Nothing I have posted is untrue...unless you have evidence that no settlements have been made on behalf of the Catholic church-
And if you don't mind- could you respond to my questions in post #10?
