Millions of people turn to Catholic Online for prayers, Daily Readings, saints, Catholic education and answers about their Faith. Most will never donate. But if Catholic Online has given you more than $5 worth of value this year, we're asking you to do something very simple: Give $5 today.

Your Catholic Voice Foundation also supports Catholic Online School, which has served 2.2 million student enrollments in 193 countries. We don't believe a family's ability to pay should determine whether a child can receive a Catholic education. If we've given you something of value, please give something back.

It's good to be the Pope! Pope Francis gets a Lamborghini

Nice car!

Pope Francis now has a nice car than you, in the form of a limited edition Lamborghini Huracan. It's a beautiful work of art. Even more beautiful is the Holy Father's plan for the car. 

The car will be auctioned and the proceeds donated to help resettlement of Christians on the Nineveh Plain.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Pope Francis is the proud owner of a Lamborghini Huracan. The car was built as a special limited edition for him. The car normally costs about $200,000 USD. The speedy vehicle was donated to the Pope by the manufacturer. 

The sleek car sits low to the ground and is painted glossy white with gold trim. Pope Francis autographed the hood with a special marking pen. 

While it would be fantastic to see Pope Francis behind the wheel, even just once, the Holy Father has a plan for the car. He has already commissioned the Sotheby's auction house to sell the car at auction. The proceeds will go to Aid to the Church in Need. 

The charity has thanked the Pope for his pledged donation and says they plan to use the money to rebuild Christian settlements on the Nineveh plain. 

The charity is taking the lead in resettling the Christians that remain following the depredations of ISIS, and their attempt to commit Christian genocide in an area that has been occupied by Christians since the time of Christ.  

A representative for Aid to the Church in Need said the gift of the car is an example of how large corporations can also help the poor, even if they do not work directly with those in need.
