Pope Francis Is Selling His Fiat Car in a Raffle for the Poor
Pope Francis' four-wheel-drive Panda Fiat is just one of a collection of items the Vatican is raffling off to raise money for charity. Posters around the Vatican announced the raffle will also include his Homero Ortega brand hat, bicycles, and an espresso coffee machine, Reuters reports, among 13 objects and 30 unspecified "consolation prizes.", Tickets on sale at the Vatican will cost 12.50, and the winner will be announced on Jan. 8. The Vatican announced last week that Pope Francis, who has made fighting poverty a priority, was building bathrooms for the homeless in the shadow of St. Peter's Basilica. Reuters
