An Italian priest has given Pope Francis a 20-year-old white Renault 4 to drive himself around Vatican city.
Father Zocca said he was moved by the Pope's effort to create "a Church for the poor", and told the Italian magazine Famiglia Cristiana that he wanted to give him a gift."What better than my old Renault 4?" he asked.
Uhm...i think this should be shown to Nigerian pastors who have turned churches into business ventures.Father Zocca said he was surprised to receive a phone call from the pontiff accepting the gift. The priest turned up at his Vatican residence on Saturday to present the car. The BBC's David Willey in Rome says the Pope's bodyguards were amazed when he took the keys and drove off.
