Oh no, a man goes on a rampage in one of the basilicas and in just a few seconds breaks candelabra worth $31,000.
Jesus did warn them: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal."
Quote:Rome - A man has caused minor damage at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican after jumping onto the main altar and knocking over 19th-century candelabra, worth several thousand dollars.
The suspect is from Romania and the candelabra he knocked down are worth €30,000 ($31,000), Italian news agency Ansa reported.
A Vatican spokesman told the agency that the incident involved a person with a “serious mental disability, who has been detained by the Vatican Police and then placed at the disposal of the Italian authorities.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
