I ran across this article this morning – there are several interesting points here:
 
A) The 1975 Ford that was purchased for $690,000 was owned by Pope John Paul II, and
B) The man who purchased it is Baptist.
 
Awwww, so a religious man wanted to own the car the Pope drove. He must be a wonderful person!
 
Oh…but then there’s more:
 
C) This Baptist man, who claims he wants to own the car so he can touch it and feel the Pope’s spirit, owns 600 cars, and he became wealthy because:
D) He made his fortune in a multi-billion dollar tobacco settlement.
 
Figures.
