About your comment:

Francis is an idiot.

The Catholic Church is far from “one of the wealthiest organizations in the world.” Especially if you were to divide the Church’s money and property among the one billion Catholics in the world, and if you consider how much of that “wealth” consists of schools and hospitals that serve the poor.

Yeah, you go ahead and petition Francis to do that.

They don't divide their wealth among the laity, they take it from the laity. They are no different than Democrats.

The "schools" charge a hefty tuition and try to get into a catholic hospital ( built and supported by local and state governments) without an insurance card..

There is so much wealth in the Vatican that alone would make it one of, if not, the richest organization in the world

And that was built with the money of the poor trying to buy their loved ones out of the flames of "purgatory "
