The pope who also earlier shunned the papal limousines used by his predecessors in favor of a simple blue Ford Focus donated the car to charity while also stating that the money will be used to rebuilding the homes and churches of persecuted Christians in the Nineveh Plains in Iraq.
They will also go to help female victims of human trafficking and forced prostitution and to two Italian groups which provide medical services in central Africa.
