Pope Francis: £200,000 on wheels while preaching welcome
The image of Pope Francis arriving at an event in a BMW valued at £200,000 has sparked controversy. The vehicle, a high-end model, contrasts with his constant discourse in favor of migration and simplicity. Criticism has not been long in coming: how can one reconcile a luxury car with the defense of the most disadvantaged?
The cost of the message
While the Pope calls on Europe to open its doors to migrants and criticizes consumerism, his motorcade includes a BMW costing the same as dozens of places on a small boat. Some point out that the vehicle is rented, but the price remains the same. The question is obvious: who pays for this extravagance?
The response from the faithful
Among Catholics, there is division. Some believe the Pope needs security and representative vehicles, and that renting reduces the actual cost. Others see it as an unbearable contradiction: "he should travel in a three-wheeled car," they joke. The debate remains open, and the photo of the BMW will circulate widely.
With these figures, the Vatican's message of austerity fails again. But, as always, the numbers speak for themselves.
