I remember an old novel/film "Shoes Of The Fisherman," which was about a Pope who actually went back to Christ's original message and used the money of the Catholic Church to feed the poor rather than dress in fancy robes and look important. Or collect high priced art. Why not sell your collection and give it to the poor. Whyt not walk the talk.
