This is coming from a Catholic who is a regular, eliminate the tax exemptions for the Church and earmark the money to take of illegals. The Catholic Church is I believe the largest landowner in the US and all the land is tax free. If the Bishops want to take care of illegals make them pay.
Nope, not even close.
A couple of years ago Ted Turner has lost his title as America's largest individual landowner to John Malone, the television pioneer and chairman of Liberty Media, who now owns 2.2 million acres.
Ted Turner remains a close second with slightly more than 2 million acres in his name.
Most Catholic assets are not actually held by the Catholic Church per se --- meaning dioceses and parishes, which ccount for less than 10%. Most of the assets are separately incorporated non-profit institutions who are less and less under the control of the bishops --- like a hospital system four times larger than the U.S.'s biggest private hospital chain, HCA Holdings, and a network of schools four times larger than the New York City Department of Education.
These hospitals and schools are, as I said, separate from direct Church governance, and more "separate" all the time: which is a historic tragedy, actually, since they're often not "Catholic where it counts" but they still have the name.
The rest of your argument might be OK, but the idea that the Catholic Church in America is land-wealthy or dollar-wealthy is bogus. Many dioceses are closing parishes and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
