and so to the Vatican.....

so as I linked from one website to the next I found myself at the Vatican website...surfing on through I clicked on Peter's Pence....a beautiful engraving/sketching accompanying some script regarding offerings to help the work that the Pope does in helping less fortunate people...it all looks very old worldly and genteel until you page down and see "Or if you prefer, donations may be sent by credit card". It all just seems a bit gritty next to such an "old" and beautiful picture.
