Pope To Priests - Buy Humble Cars by fredoooooo: 11:32am On Jul 07, 2013 |
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis said on Saturday it pained him to see priests driving flashy cars, and told them to pick something more "humble". As part of his drive to make the Catholic Church more austere and focus on the poor, Francis told young and trainee priests and nuns from around the world that having the latest smartphone or fashion accessory was not the route to happiness. "It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can't do this," he said. "A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world," he said. Since succeeding Pope Benedict in March, the former cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina has eschewed some of the more ostentatious trappings of his office and has chosen to live in a Vatican guest house rather than the opulent papal apartments. The ANSA news agency said the pope's car of choice for moving around the walled Vatican City was a compact Ford Focus.

Paschal360: But the pope uses bullet proof cars. For security reasons, not to show off. I'm sure you're not too young to recall the almost fatal assassination attempt on the late Pope John Paul II.
This is beautiful. Makes me feel proud to be Roman Catholic. These money-crazed new generation 'men of god' would NEVER have spiritual authority over me. 28 Likes |

Ministers of God should know that their life style influence their followers. Moderation is needed in the dressing, cars & everyday life of Christians. jackbauersballs:I m not suprised that you v been infected with the 1st to comment virus.

The catholic church should sell their assets and gold reserves worth over 5 billion dollars and give the money to the poor, only then will we believe this so called church has changed. 5 Likes |
