Holy Cow! WHATS UP WITH THIS POPE?!

[sabrina 1]

200. He has sold his own stuff and donated the proceeds to the poor.

He can't sell other people's stuff, but he can and has set an example by doing it himself.

As a result of the example he has set, other priests have taken his message to heart and done the same thing.

He doesn't own the Vatican's property, but it looks like he is influencing people all over the world who ARE Catholics to follow his own example. This is the best possible way to make sure that those who supposed to be serving the poor, rather than, as he pointed out, 'living in luxury' will be shamed into to doing what they are supposed to do. Or have their eyes opened and think about what they, up to now, had not thought about. All around this will benefit the poor.

Colombian Priest Sells Mercedes Inspired By Pope Francis Message. Rev. Hernando Fayid Heeds Pontiff Call To Humility

The Rev. Hernando Fayid said he's going to sell his white Mercedes Benz E200 convertible with a black top following the pope's recent statement that it wounds his heart to see a priest in a luxurious car.

Fayid told RCN television Tuesday evening that he got the car as a gift from his four brothers last year, but will still give it up and it won't bother him.

He said he's ridden a burro, a horse, a bicycle and a bus, to say nothing of walking on foot around his town of Santa Marta. In his words, "I have no problem with that."

He isn't going to be very popular with the filthy rich who believe the exact opposite of what this pope believes, but I don't think it's going to bother him.
