Everyone who reads the life of Jesus Christ is impressed, by
his down to earth simplicity, bordering poverty and his reluctance to show off by using superior dresses and live in grand palaces.
Tradition has it that he did not even have a house to live. Once he felt threatened by lightning. It was raining cats and dogs and
he was running from place to place. He went to a cave , but it
was occupied by a woman. Then he went to another but it was
the dwelling place of a beast. So he said, there is a home even for a beast, but son of Adam has no place to save himself
from the lightining. Upon this God sent Archangel Gabrael to
him who informed him that God has made a palace of pearls for him in the paradise which has 60,000 well decorated suits in it. Contrary to this simplicity, we see Pope and cardinals in shining dresses, living in grand palaces like princes. Does love for Jesus not require one to live like him and behave
like him? Who oversees the conduct of pope?
