The Vatican should sell their works

Vatican

Internet Initiative asks the Church to sell

treasures

# An Internet initiative asks the Church to sell its art treasures in exchange for food. One of the classic criticisms.
# The works of art from the Vatican are the heritage of humanity and international law prevents them from selling.
# The Pope is calling for Africa to fight poverty.



One of the criticisms of the Church that there are more traditional, although that is being developed on the Internet may give a different dimension and more global. In the social network Facebook was born an initiative which calls for the Vatican to "change their treasures for food to Africa." "We are aiming for," asks the author of the Commons, Alberto Juesas. For now, just over a month, the proposal has received more than 45,000 supporters.

The creator of this case argues in his presentation, as others related to this idea have been done in the past, which is a shame to see the riches of the Vatican and then watch the news "or that the Church does not preach the example. As mentioned above, has thousands of followers but many Internet users in open forums for debate, have expressed their opposition to the proposal.

The answer, surprisingly, no one had to wait from the Vatican and Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, president of the Vatican section dedicated to charity, has made ​​clear that international law would prevent the Pope implement this request, the agency reported Zenit. The reason is simple: the Church has the obligation to preserve the artistic wealth of the Vatican, which has hundreds of works including paintings, sculptures and books, among other treasures, and it is cultural property that belong to humanity and In this case, also the cultural heritage of Italy. In fact, international law prevents the institution to sell these works.
