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.

Mormons are generous as well ... and my response to both is so what ?

“So what”

My answer was not to you but to the canard ‘ the Church should sell all its gold and give it to the poor’

How simplistic!

How minimally thought thru!

If the Church liquidated all of its wealth, a protestant dream, they may have 5 - 10 years of largess to ‘give to the poor’ then it would be dissipated.

Whereas just one segment of the the Catholic Church, Catholic Charities, gives $3.69 Billion dollars (2014 data) in one year to the poor. Source CARA ibid.
