As to your claim that Savage is "just being stupid," I'll leave that alone as I never for one moment thought Savage was suggesting he was making a valid offer but said there were far wealthier people who would outbid his opening offer. I rarely listen to the guy as he drives me crazy - mostly but did happen to tune in this time to hear it.

I am unable to come up with the exact article that I read where all of the properties owned around the world, not to mention artworks and other tangible ownings came up with the total that the Catholic Church is wealthier than any other church or denomination!

There is such an article out there but I can't point to it right now and I'm not merely claiming that it exists - it does and is very credible as the Catholic Church validated it.

Maybe some other FRers can help me research this information.

Why would this not be expected, as it is the largest and oldest of all, and was for many centuries the owner of up to 1/3 of European land?

The Roman Catholic Church is BY FAR the largest Denomination in the World. It is also, with its’ 25 other aligned churches, Eastern Orthodoxies and others, the Largest institution in all of human history. Larger than the ENTIRE Muslim religion. When aligned Churches to Rome are included, there are more than a Billion and a Half Catholics aligned with Rome.

It is only logical that it would have the largest supply of churches, art work, land and institutions of any other religious organization.
