At a car auction in Paris, Pope Francis’s Harley Davidson Dyna Super Glide motorbike went on sale. It had been given to Francis last year and bore his signature. The value before the auction was estimated at the Euro equivalent of $16,000. But it sold to an unnamed European buyer for $327,000, with the money destined for Caritas Roma, which runs a Catholic soup kitchen and hostel.
