To be really sincere in helping the poor, I hope the Vatican could liquidate all its trillion dollars of assets and give financial assistance to the billions of poor people around the world.

The Vatican says it is offering a place to stay to a homeless woman who gave birth near St. Peter's Square.
She's thinking about it.
Italian police say a patrol stopped to help the woman after she gave birth in a square just beyond Vatican territory about 2 a.m. Wednesday, when temperatures were hovering around freezing. They covered her with their jackets and called an ambulance that took her to a nearby hospital.
Pope Francis' charity official, Monsignor Konrad Krajewski, visited mother and baby in hospital. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said Krajewski offered the woman a place for a year at a Vatican-owned residence for mothers and babies in need.
Lombardi says the woman hasn't decided whether to accept.
