How much money will the Vatican give to Haiti? |

I predict that the Vatican will deplete its coffers to aid the people of Haiti.

4. Considering that they want health care reform extended to illegal aliens, I wouldn't be surprised. |
|
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops call it a basic right.

I read that the pope is telling the world to donate - I hope they lead the way.

12. They've said that they would pull out of inner city DC if gay marriage is approved. |

They have show us locals that helping the poor and needy are not as important as trying to control the private lives of everyone, even not-catholics.

9. Maybe they'll be treated to a audio recording from the Pope |
|
lauding the importance of "humility," chastising them for abortion, and announcing his gifting of a set of red Prada slippers to the local Archbishop.
:sarcasm:
I'd like to be proven horrendously wrong. Catholic charities do much good throughout the world, but I see little of this coming from the Vatican.

15. deplete its coffers ? |
|
Deplete? - doubt it. Catholic Charities will spend a bunch but I doubt much of a dent will be made in the Vatican's coffers.
