Is Pope Francis Secretly Sneaking Out Of The Vatican At Night To Give Money To The Poor?

[Heddi]

23. Instead of sneaking out, why not sell the billions and billions of dollars in gold and art that the

Vatican has, and do some real good in the world on a large and meaningful scale, especially in places much like Africa, and Latin America/South America, where so much of their crushing poverty, high infant mortality, hunger, and AIDS come as a direct effect of the anti-woman, anti-condom, anti-contraception, anti-safe-sex-teaching-even-if-it-saves-your-life, pro-more-babies-than-you-can-sustain, policies that the church has embraced and endorsed?

Why not do it in such a way as to inspire your billions of adherents, most of whom, to quote George Michael, see charity as a coat they wear twice a year, throw a few coins in the salvation army bucket and hey! fighting hunger!!!

THe leader of one of the wealthiest religious organizations in the world sneaking out at night to give $$ to the poor...yes, giving to the poor is awesome. But let's be realistic. THe Catholic Church is a mega-rich organization that could completely obliterate much suffering for many many people (suffering that it has caused). But naaah. Let El Papa just go out at night to do clandestine work in a soup kitchen. Good? yes. The best he can do/force the church to do? Hardly.
