How very interesting and entertaining:

Vatican ‘cashes in’ by putting price on the Pope’s copyright
[TimesOnline.co.uk 23 jan '06]

No sooner is the ink dry on the official pronouncement that the Vatican Publishing House owns the copyright to the official edicts of Pope Benedict XVI’s holy messages (and not just his, they made it retroactive, too), than they are sending out invoices and collection notices.

Some are complaining that the act makes the Pope’s words out to be “saleable merchandise,” which could crimp the Church’s style on freely spreading the word of God, so to speak.

Go fig.
