Cardinal Domenico Calcagno is being dubbed &#8220;Cardinal Rambo&#8221; by the Italian media as a result. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>&#8220;This passion for weapons is long-standing. I used to go to shooting ranges. Unfortunately since I&#8217;ve been at the Vatican I had to stop,&#8221; Domenico Calcagno, head of the Administration of Vatican Patrimony, told Il Fatto Quotidiano.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s innocent. What I like above all is repairing weapons,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The 68-year-old cardinal owns at least 13 weapons including the famous 357 Magnum made by Smith &amp; Wesson and a Hatsan shotgun, according to the website Savonanews from Savona in northwest Italy where Calcagno used to be the bishop.<\/p>\n<p>The website said Calcagno was also a keen hunter and had several rifles.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cardinal Calcagno is the president of the Administration of the Vatican Patrimony of the Apostolic See. He reports that his firearms are kept in a locked safe in Savona where he used to be bishop.<\/p>\n<p>You have to wonder what the favorite priest of the Chicago gun prohibitionists, Fr. Michael &#8220;Snuffy&#8221; Pfleger, makes of this cardinal and his passion. My guess it isn&#8217;t good.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Vatican cardinal is making news in Italy (and elsewhere) because he likes guns and likes to shoot and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3841,3842],"class_list":["post-3367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-cardinal-domenico-calcagno","tag-catholic-church"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3367"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7899,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3367\/revisions\/7899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
