Well, Socialism taxes you, and takes the money whether you like it or not. And if you refuse, they take everything, and you go to jail.
The Church asks you for voluntary donations.
And the Vatican doesn’t wallow in trillions.
Fair enough. What would you estimate is the net worth of all the Vat’s assets? Do the members of the College of Cardinals exemplify the life of humility and poverty called for in the priest’s vows? Try to distinguish between your faith, which is God-inspired, and the Church, which is man-made. Think, for example, Banco D’Ambrosio, Paul Marcinkus, Bernard Cardinal Law, the Bulgers and priestly pedophilia coverup; just to get you started.
Hint: I’ve got a book 2 inches thick titled, “Art of the Vatican.” That’s just for starters.
