    In which case it's got to be up there as one of your least enlightened observations.

    Though even your most hypocritical efforts pale beside any comment whatsoever from the Vatican about the acquisition of wealth. Indeed, if others with the wherewithal to indulge in those same activities were permitted to do so you'd be bleating a damned sight louder about their efforts than you currently do. At least you would be until you were, shall we say: supressed.

    The learned elders of the banking system of the world will be scratching around in their basements looking for suitable wood and nails with which to despatch this Pope!

    I wonder if they will want to scourge him and all that jazz as well ... it's going to be interesting I'm sure!

    So you missed the irony in it and fail to see the significance

    At least you are constant

    They should abandon physical constants use u as a bench mark

    They're probably wondering what drugs he's on more like.

    The Institute Of Religious works (Vatican bank) made 86.6 million Euros profit last year and has 4.98 billion Euros in assets and 769 million in equity funds plus 41.3 million in gold coins and other precious metals. Also, they have a stake in an Italian real estate company and received 2 million Euros worth of property inheritances as well.

    If you try again, a bit harder perhaps, you'll see that I made particular note of the irony of you quoting the pope ranting about wealth acquisition.

    But then, trying as you often are it's not something you often actually do...

    And some really sharp stuff to throw in after them.

    Because I have learnt a thing or 2 from the Romans. Namely discretion and patience is required to do something properly.

    meh seems as good a place as any for this...

    These guys usually talk games (behind the scenes of games) but this one's politics tho from a kinda game design prospective; admittedly this is about US politics but it's equally relevant here, so have a listen to some sensible wisdom

    and if 80% of government is voted for, they should receive 80% pay.
    That would make some sense wouldn't it?
