Do you think selling all the Catholic Church's holdings,will make a difference?

Short-term...it would offer some relief.

Long-term...throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I prefer long-term approaches. Church property and holdings, IMO, have a limited market value and unlimited use potential by the faithful.

IOW, hold it all until it's stolen or burns to the ground.

I was listening to Karl Keating on Catholic radio and he said that if every building and piece of art owned by the Catholic Church was sold, it would run the world for two days.
