Sorry, but you are grossly misinformed.
Their budgets aren’t done for tax purposes, etc etc..
The vatican sits on wealth of generations in terms of its real estate and artifacts, but its budget is hardly large considering the scope and scale of the Church’s works.
I know it won’t stop the catholic bashing that is prevalent here, but facts never matter to the bigot.
>> facts never matter to the bigot
I’m not a bigot. “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” The only thing I’ll say from a Christian perspective is catholics do *not* have a lock on eternal salvation like they think they do. Otherwise, your eternal reward is not for me to judge.
But the Vatican crying “poor us” is laughable. If you consider pointing that out to be bigotry, then I’ll have to call you a naive partisan in reply.
“facts never matter to the bigot.”
A sad fact that even on FR occasionally must be pointed out.
