Perhaps not for long, but better than Pope Francis Calls For 'Legitimate Redistribution' of Wealth ...
BTW the catholic church isn't the only institute playing in their game....there's plenty now of the mainline churches joining in as well. Quite interesting watching them operate and the masks each is wearing to promote the Globalist Agenda.
The Vatican has large investments with the 'Rothschilds' of Britain, France and America, with the 'Hambros Bank', with the 'Credit Suisse' in London and Zurich..... In the United States it has large investments with the 'Morgan Stanley Bank', the 'Chase-Manhattan Bank', the 'First National Bank of New York', the 'Bankers Trust Company', and others..... The Vatican has billions of shares in the most powerful international corporations including in many corporations part of the US Military Industrial Complex whose main profit is from weapons of war and destruction.
The assets and real estate holdings exceed those of Exxon/Mobil, A.T.&T., and U.S. Steel combined and its roster of dues-paying members is second only to the tax rolls of the United States Government.
The Catholic church is the most formidable stockbroker in the world!
The Vaticans treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. A large bulk of this is stored in gold ingots with the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, while banks in England and Switzerland hold the rest.
When to this is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the Catholic church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.
He should lead by example....this grotesque massive thing above the Popes throne would catch a pretty price to re-distribute the wealth
Please provide your source of information.
..and I thought all they had was that little Vatican gift shop..
the ‘United Nations World Magazine’ as mentioned in the post and various other internet sources....you can find others simply by googling. It’s all over the internet. Here’s just a few.....to help you out.

Can’t hardly believe any in the catholic empire don’t see the vast wealth within it’s institute. But they do know, they just don’t want to be made seen as they really are.....and that’s beyond excessive in their wealth. Centuries of accumulated wealth and investments....and it began earnestly centuries ago by the greed and corruption that has always been in the catholic church leadership.
A great deal of this is misrepresenting actual facts. It is also old news in that the financial aspect of the Vatican (for far too long in pathetic secular hands) has been cleaned up and continues to be properly re-organized by the good Cardinal Pell from Australia.
You should know that most of the sources you have noted are all suspect in how they report on the Catholic Church, which most dislike intensely. Most media sources cannot be relied on for really objective or substantive reporting of any kind these days. Many of the same media sources are just as likely to *report* that homosexuality is a genetic defect that is inherited.
The only story that has any ring of truth to it concerns some bishops who lived in lavish homes(many of whom have changed that now as called for by Pope Francis...but does not tell the whole story there either. Several were living in what were referred to as *lavish* homes for various legitimate and prudent reasons. Some lived in such homes because they are human sinners who made wrong choices.
Better sources are necessary for substantive information....especially these days.
LOLOLOL
sum, I have been greatly blessed.
He has led me out and I have never been more free..
looking forward to His New Moon Day tomorrow.
it begins His 3rd month and getting closer to the ‘60’ part of Israel’s 30/60/100 day journey in the wilderness. what a blessing to see the first exodus is a shadow of our own..
who knew Israel had their own 30/60/100 fold before the Savior used it in the parable!
May He bless you more than He has me
Well, delchiante, I sense that you are a very good person and know that you are VERY loved by our God. I also thank you for the blessing. I happily accept all that comes from our God. :-)
I must share that I too left the Church for about 15 years for a variety of reasons. Actually this was true of my husband as well. I was Catholic and he was Southern Baptist and neither of us was practicing our Christianity...though both of us had had a firm relationship with God when we were younger. Long story short, the Hound of Heaven reached down to bring us back into that relationship with Himself via an interdenominational prayer group several years ago. We began to follow Christ then as adults with a much firmer commitment. In following Him, we were both led to the Catholic Church even though we disagreed with a few Teachings of the Church but we KNEW this was where HE wanted us to be. He made it quite clear! Eventually, after much prayer and study, we discovered how we had been deceived by the satan regarding those issues we had had. We learned the how and why of all the Teachings and repented and asked forgiveness for our wrong judgment regarding them. God has been patient and full of love with us as we work to grow in the holiness to which He calls all of us. We are both very active in the Church and work hard to bring others into a close relationship with the Triune God.
We were bought with a price and we understand that we are called to share the Good News with others and bring them also into a deeper relationship with their Creator.
Only when many more people enter into a profound relationship with their saving God, will this nation (and the world) have a REAL opportunity to turn this world around from the present direction to which it is presently heading.
May our God grant you an abundance of blessing and His special protection in the days ahead of us.....for they will not be easy days.
