The head of the Catholica church may have personally led a humble life, but his church can hardly claim the same.

That's why the Talibangicals hate Catholics so much: in this case, their most famous one lives what Jesus preached--whereas they use Jesus to grift, swindle and indoctrinate their flock into fascism.

He lead by example. This is why he’s vilified in MAGA Amerika: being Good means identifying with those that suffer: the poor, the marginalized, minorities, IMMIGRANTS, other ethnicities, other genders, other religions, others orientations, other individuals. Coolest Roman Catholic since SF Assisi.

Comparing the Vatican City (which is considered a sovereign country) to Joel Osteens home it comparing apples to watermelons. The Pope has a residence within the Vatican City, along with over 800 other people. Osteen and his family live by themselves in a sprawling mansion, which is not a country.

All people over 50 deserve an adjustable bed if they can afford it. You can raise your legs if your feet are swollen, raise your head if acid reflux or find a comfortable position if your back hurts. I hope that room is just for show. The Vatican is too opulent to believe simplicity is valued.
