Pope Benedict XVI not only has a political alliance with Dubya, he's locked into his housing bubble too. Via the Wall Street Journal (subs. req'd):

New government statistics show Vatican City holding $84 million of debt issued primarily by the companies, compared with $61 million issued by other U.S. corporations.
