I would hazard to guess that the Roman Catholic church, besides the antiquity value of its priceless relics, has assets that are far more liquid which would dwarf several countries. One wonders why the Pope calls on other less-fortunate rich people to do what it, with its value, can do on a wide scale.....
The largest private charity in the world, in terms of money and services given to the poor, pro bono, is the Catholic Church.

Judas said something similar once, but then Jesus told him that the woman anointing him was a better use for the expensive oil than selling it and giving the money to the poor. I think the finest should go to God and His Church. Don’t you?
Correction: "is doing" not "can do". Try to keep up with reality. The RC church is the largest benefactor of the poor in the world. Check it out.
