First off, thanks to the Pope I had a 7AM Saturday wake up with helicopters flying overhead. Some idiot has recently decided that helicopters over the previously peaceful skies of Paris are always necessary, just to remind us that someone is doing something. (Hint: look for the person wearing platform shoes with a Napoleon complex and low poll ratings.) I don’t even get the Pope’s repeated attacks on money and power because, well, he has lots of money and power. Besides his affection for Prada and Gucci, just how frugal is life at the Vatican?

Anyone who has ever visited the Vatican is no doubt familiar with the luxuries inside and that’s only the section that they allow outsiders to see. I hear it’s much nicer inside and despite the big talk of abstinence for others, that may not be the case for the select few living there. Maybe there’s been a big change lately and the Vatican is selling off its riches and they’re all going to take a vow of poverty. I may have missed that press release so apologies if I got that wrong.
