The global financial crisis is proof that the pursuit of money and success is pointless, Pope Benedict XVI has told a meeting of bishops in Rome.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church said that the disappearance of money as banks collapsed showed that wealth meant "nothing".

The Pope said that people should instead base their lives on God's word.

The reason I posted this picture is because I found it amusing that the pope wears these clothes while telling people to stop "hunting for money" or so... Oh, the ironi. :rolleyes:

Maybe he is more ascetic than we are giving him credit for, if he really sought worldly joy, he could afford some botox.

To think, I read him criticizing the pursuit of wealth and thought he was onto something... then he had to go and ruin it by drawing a stupid, invalid conclusion. What a fool. Oh and I agreed with those other comments about all that fancy stuff he had to.

I'd like to see him managing an economy. Preferably one that doesn't affect the rest of the world.

He's trying to advocate communism. But it supports Christianity as it's only religion
