I'll believe the pope wants the church to be poor when he starts selling off their valuables and giving that money to feed the poor.
Yep, I'm of the same mind. A friend told me that the new pope got rid of the papal golden chair - I have no idea if it's true or not. Assuming so - if it was just stuffed in a closet for future use, big whoopty do. Start putting shit up on eBay and using the proceeds to help people, then I might be more impressed.

Indeed.
