Every time I see a picture of someone like the cardinal in the article, I can only think, there is a man in his ceremonial robes designed solely to indicate the power and status he has obtained, yet there is also man that has never done an honest days work in his life.

He is a career politician in the Church, he never worked a day in his life, and knows nothing about life in the real world.
Some of his outfits that he wears cost over $30,000.
