Worshippers, see the facts before stone the pagan..
The Pope and the Profits
Books about John Paul II are flying off the shelves, as are
tangible mementos of a spiritual man. Want a $500,000 bottle of
holy water?

"The eBay list ranged from the expected holy mementos to the unusual. Sellers auctioned off rosaries, medals, and wristbands featuring the Pope, as well as old issues of magazines and newspapers with his photograph. The treasure trove included china thimbles, poseable dolls, and old Marvel (MVL ) comics depicting the life of John Paul II. There was a Pope bobble-head doll. A ticket to the Mass the Pontiff held in Yankee Stadium in 1979 was offered for $1,000.
GOUGING THE FAITHFUL? Among the most expensive items: a bottle of holy water blessed by the Pope, at $500,000, and an oil-pastel portrait of John Paul II, signed by him, at $150,000. Bidding for the holy water closes on Apr. 15, and for the portrait, Apr. 12"
