Whoa.....stop the train there. The value of services given??
Who is doing the valuing?
So you go from an "iffing" figure of $30 billion down to a somewhat more verifiable $3.6 billion???
Man, you've got a future in government with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics!
If you have a problem with how the Church valued $3.69 billion in charitable giving - take it up with CARA.
This is the Charitable giving of just one of the Churches charitable arms, Catholic Charities.
If you think I care wherher you believe the number you are sorely mistaken.
