In homage to the passing of Pope Francis today, let’s look at some interesting facts about the spiritual and administrative heart of the Catholic Church:
World’s Highest Wine Consumption: This is attributed to communal dining.
Owns a Telescope in Arizona: Due to light pollution in Rome
Secret Escape Route: A passageway historically used by Popes to escape danger.
Highest Crime Rate (Per Capita): Due largely to the millions of tourists who visit each year, leading to petty crimes like pickpocketing.
May he rest in peace!
