Pope Francis Raffles Off New Car, Old Hat and More

[gracepoole]

Pope Francis is cleaning out his closets and raffelling off items that range from a hat to a Fiat car he never used.

The pope’s raffle of items that were given to him will end this Thursday when the winning numbers will be announced on the Vatican website. But you can only buy tickets at the Vatican.

The pope is raising money for the poor through the raffle that was first publicized by a poster that went up at the Vatican around November.

I just love the way Pope Francis does things. A raffle is so quaint. But part of me wishes that he would have put some of these items on eBay so I could bid on them. On the other hand, compared to a raffle an auction seems crass.

I wouldn’t mind having the pope’s hat!
