I should think so too.

Maybe strip a bit of gold out of the Vatican and sell a few paintings etc, while they're on.

I'm afraid that's a bit like our donation. Not enough dig deeper.

[Michael Parnham]

Better than nothing, but definitely nowhere near enough. Its an insult to a country that donates more than that to the church every day!:thumbsdown:

[grahamw48]

I agree Michael.

Millions of poor people are helping to keep thousands of privileged priests in comfort. It's a damned disgrace....and hardly something that Jesus would have approved of. :NoNo:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Aye.

And don't they say greed is a sin.

Should practice what they preach.
