I said this a long time ago here: SELL THE VATICAN

I wrote and said this a long time ago, right here. I wrote this on my blog. Sell the whole freaking Vatican, the whole thing--all the jewels, everything! Seriously! Sell it to some international conglomerate, they rent it out and have tours and all that kind of thing. They'd get BILLIONS for that complex. Then, downsize, big time, as they ought and they could start FEEDING, CLOTHING, HOUSING, TEACHING AND NURSING the poor, hungry, starving and sick. (Just don't teach 'em Catholicism). How 'bout it, Pope Benedict?
