Book a flight through your local church
The Vatican is launching a travel service focusing on Catholic shrines. Will they start building hotels at their various shrines? Coupled with the selling of Mother Teresa's letters (as reported by Sparrow Chat) maybe Benedict will soon be leading Vatican, Inc.

Oh, I think Vatican, Inc has been around a long time. As far back as the 15th century, about a third of all the land in Britain belonged to the Church of Rome. Tithes - usually one tenth a person's annual income - were demanded by the church (and woe betide those who couldn't pay) and the rich coughed up handsomely for Bishoprics. Nice business.
