"It is a 'shameful tragedy' people go hungry in the world, pope says" (from his solid-gold throne.)By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- One of the most urgent and critical social problems afflicting the world today is the "shameful tragedy that one-fifth of humanity still goes hungry," Pope Benedict XVI told members of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.
"Assuring an adequate food supply, like the protection of vital resources such as water and energy, requires all international leaders to collaborate in showing a readiness to work" toward eliminating social inequalities between countries and communities, he said in an address May 4.
"For Christians who regularly ask God to 'give us this day our daily bread,' it is a shameful tragedy" that so many people go hungry and are malnourished, he said.
Some 25,000 people die from hunger every day and one child dies every six seconds of malnutrition or starvation, according to the United Nations' World Food Program.

Um yeah it is a fucking tragic problem. One that you could easily solve. Why don't you start by selling the fucking bejeweled hats and robes? Check this out; I googled "what is the Vatican worth?" and got this answer: In an interview published in Money Week, Cardinal Edmund C. Szoka, the Vatican's "finance minister", claims that The Vatican's assets are $5 billion. he adds that " Income to the Holy See from bishops' dioceses has more than tripled from 1990 levels, to $22 million in 2000." he also says, "That [$5 billion] doesn't include the Vatican City, which has a separate financial statement.
Seems to me that sitting on all that fortune while others starve is a little, well, un-Christian, dont 'ya think? Even Jesus is disgusted by your selfishness, Vatican City. If you donated just a tenth of that money, you'd help millions of starving, ill people. And no doubt would inspire other nations to help out as well. But nooooooo, you cling to all your gold and look the other way. Fucking dicks. See you in Hell.

MSG,
Obviously, you are not Catholic. If you were, you'd know that the Vatican needs to always keep a large reserve of cash on hand to pay for the legal fees and massive settlements related to all the altar boys fucked in the ass, fondled on the balls, and kissed on the mouth -- yes, on the mouth -- by priests worldwide.
I wish I was kidding.
Also, your AssHoliness: Maybe reconsider the whole "no birth control" thing. How and why do you think all these billions of people are HERE, anyway? People aren't gonna stop fuckin. But we can do something about the babymakin, Chuck.
Maybe you can just donate your name, Mega Superior Gold.
