“..and yet the Vatican takes in $200 MILLION a week from the United States”
Where is your cite for that because I have 2010’s figures which are:
The 2010 financial report for the Holy See yielded some good news for a change when it was published last weekend. This is Peter’s Pence collection from the worldwide churches which is done once a year.
For the last three years the Vatican had made a succession of losses but for the 2010 financial year the Holy See... total revenue of €245.2 million against total expenses of €235.3 million.
