The Pope, at the pinnacle of his profession (success, his career), surrounded in his palace, in opulence (money, material luxuries) who wears gilded robes (appearances), disparages the banking system (Vatican Bank is located inside the Vatican City [1]. It is run by a professional bank CEO [2] who reports directly to a committee of cardinals [3], and ultimately to the Pope [4]  CTRL + Click to follow link">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_Bank [5]) and says the reality is none of these things that he has, but the unreal things that he provides no proof for.

"The Pope made headlines yesterday when addressing the bishops at the opening of their international synod on the theme of the Word of God.  In his opening comments, the Holy Father stated:

At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, our Lord speaks to us of the two possible ways of constructing the edifice of one's life:  building on sand or building on solid ground. He who builds on sand is the one who builds only on the foundation of visible and tangible things:  success, one's career, money. As if these were the true realities. But one day all of these things will pass away. We see that now in the crash of the great banks:  all this money disappears; it's nothing. And in like fashion all these things, which would appear to be the true reality to count on, are only second-order realities. Whoever builds his life on these realities, on material things, on success, on appearances, builds on sand."

Pope Benedict XVI -

"The Vatican City is the richest country in the world, in former times the church was so wealthy, and it was one of the reasons for the Renaissance period that left the papacy in power epoch!
many golden statues are every where."

"Despite its claims otherwise, the Vatican Bank is not a branch of the State of Vatican City. (Stato della Citta del Vaticano). It exists as an entity unto itself without corporate or ecclesiastical ties to any other agency within the Holy See. It is under the direct supervision of the pope. He is the one and only stockholder. He owns it; he controls it."
