Quote:

The Vatican operates at a deficit and it's budget is about that of the City of Chicago.



According to this document:

Chicago's 2004 budget is 4.8 BILLION dollars. If the Vatican has a budget that big and they are operating at a deficit, might I suggest a new accounting staff along with a new adding machine or two?
