Hog Wild! Pope's Harley Gear Nabs Record Prices

Pope's Harley gear nabs record prices

(CNS) 2-6-14

VATICAN CITY — A Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide that Pope Francis put up for auction went for a hefty $326,500 today, demolishing its pre-sale appraisal of $16,000.
The record sale was the hit of the day as hundreds of bidders and spectators attending the Paris auction “erupted into applause when the hammer came down,” according to the Bonhams auction house.

Bidding was fierce, Bonhams said, and lasted a full six minutes. The 2013 autographed bike went to “a private European buyer” who was bidding over the telephone.
A leather Harley jacket, also signed by the pope, sold for $77,644 to someone “overseas,” meaning, not in Europe. A pre-bid estimate had put the 110th anniversary special edition XL jacket at between $1,400 and $2,000.

I note from Gloria.news that the Pope had a chocolate statue of him presented and that he enjoyed a piece of chocolate. Another "one of the guys" dots. Does it mean something? Other than showing to the world the fun and game side of the Pope, I simply note down the dot.

One more "dot" for my collection of Pp Francis dots leading to an outine of his deeds and statements. The Pope has shown himself to be "one of the guys", so to speak, the aging kid next door, and not as possessor of the "Keys to the Kingdom of God", i.e., non-seriousness. He also must quite let it be known world wide. In other words, the Pope is not only one of the guys, rather he is one well advertized as such.

Short connection: The Pope wants Catholics not to approach others with a raised hand (e.g., abortion is murder), rather with love and understanding, causing joyful feelings.
