It is not difficult to see why this Pope is gaining admirers.

In fact most of material they get is either given way as gifts or sold again. There is a whole network of people in Rome who fence the stuff. I once even saw antique chandeliers from the Vatican that were used during Vatican II to decorate the Basilica. Happy selling! I wonder if the Pope knows about all this.

Upon seeing it is the pope, he calls his superior and says that he has stopped someone really Big! The superior asks him how big a deal this person that he has stopped for speeding really is . . . "I think it might even be someone like God," said the policeman. "He has the pope as his chauffeur!" Alex

Once Cardinal Wojtyla was out skiing in the Tatra Mountains and came a little too close to the border. He was immediately stopped by two border policemen who asked to see his papers. Upon examining the documents one of the guards looked very angry and said "you fool, do you know who's papers you have stolen?" Ha, Ha, Ha! Jose Last edited by defreitas; 10/21/13 07:38 PM.
