The entire Vatican was valued by the NYT and Time Magazine at between $10-15 billion, about half of the endowment of Harvard.

The Church oversees 1 billion faithful.

It's a pretty lean operation.

Except the Vatican isn’t all the property they own.

One piece of property.

Did that include the contents, or just the property itself?

You’re not convincing anyone about the wealth of the RCC except other Catholics who don’t want to believe anything bad about their church.
