The evidence shows that the Church evangelized the "least of these". That's the reason for disparity in wealth.

Or the more likely answer,
Rome raped many of the poor countries and their riches are now squirreled away in the Vatican while the Protestant work ethic built countries like America.

Every Evangelical church I know of has a business meeting every year and provides a financial report of giving and expenses and is audited by an outside source for financial integrity.

I wonder what the Catholic Church does? I don't recall them ever answering to anyone about how much money they have and where it goes.

Oh, I just know that there are all kinds of data out that that prove and that you'd be willing to share it with us all...

There's an over-active imagination at work.
