On the way home from school, Savion informed me, "Dad, did you know that the Vatican City is the smallest independent state in the world?" I told him that despite its size, the Vatican City is one of the wealthiest states in the world since every donation given to the Church by every Roman Catholic is a donation to the Pope, the leader of the church.
To stress my point, I reminded Savion and Nicolas that the money they give on Sunday service is a contribution for the Pope. Nicolas wondered, "But, isn't it for the poor?"
