You caricature what I said.

I’m all for the Pope ministering to the poor—which he does, on a massive scale.

The Church is NOT wealthy. Millions pass through its hands—on the way to the poor—but it really lives from hand to mouth.

What I am against is the Pope’s shooting off his mouth and making “news” that is about nothing substantive, just careless, sloppy phraseology.

You might be thinking of Maryknoll, or perhaps Times Square Church. Both eschew holding wealth and pass everything received on to the missions, except for what is needed to maintain their operation.
