A special edition Lamborghini Huracán sports car presented to Pope Francis will be auctioned off and the proceeds donated to charity.

Part of the funds raised from the Sotheby’s auction will go to Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need to help with its work rebuilding Christian settlements on the Nineveh Plains destroyed by ISIS.
