Imagine how much money could be redistributed if the Pope sold the Vatican and everything in it.
The priceless artifacts and art, etc ? That is for the glory of God.
If you're not aware of what the Church does for the poor of this world
then you might want to look into it.
A certain religious figure from history said something about rendering unto Ceasar that which was Ceasar's and rendering to the Lord that which was the Lord's (not in quotes but close to the KJV). The Pope needs to stick with making Catholic's more Catholic and stay out of the US political process. He should spend time on pedophile priests and the slaughter of Christians in ME along with kissing up to Patriarch and zero time on Trump's religion. What's next ... excommunication?

Hey Pope ... shut up about Trump's religion.

You CANN0T excommunicate someone who isn't Catholic.
If Donald Trump and his fanboys didn't were not such knee-jerk reactionaries, they would have listened to the entire statement in context. As usual Trump & his posse have blown everything out of proportion.
This idiot would have the US in a nuclear war so fast, it will make your head spin. He doesn't listen to what is actually said, and he reacts immediately without thinking or knowing what was said.
This just in.......
Trump files lawsuit against The Pope, Catholic Church, and all people who expose Cattholicim.......
And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them. And with great power did the apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord; and great grace was in them all. For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold, and laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
And Joseph, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, by interpretation, The son of consolation,) a Levite, a Cyprian born, having land, sold it, and brought the price, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
Acts 4:32-37.

So what exactly were you getting at with the bolded above? If you wanted to make the point about the church doing things for the poor of this world, well, so does the U.S.
But you bolded the part about selling off items in order to redistribute to the poor. The part you bolded doesn't make an exception for the Vatican. Do you stand by that statement or not?
