Catholic church- Obscene wealth always crying poor
Feb 27^th, 2013 at 8:26pm

From an insider on Lateline last night. Just as we all suspected. Loaded with money but always crying poor !!

Quote:

EMMA ALBERICI: You mentioned that roughly 6 per cent of all priests worldwide will commit some kind of abuse in their lifetime. That means of course that 94 per cent of priests are doing the right thing. Given that already we've seen a $660 million settlement in the US over 500 victims, how damaging to the Church do you think the financial settlements will be and how will that impact on their ability to do the good work that of course they do do around the world?

PATRICK J WALL: Well, I think people don't understand the depth and breadth of this particular institution, remembering that the Roman Catholic Church is larger than General Electric and General Motors put together. The Economist did an article last summer talking about $170 billion a year just in the United States alone.

When you take a look at the landholdings, they're one of the largest landholders in the world. In most companies they operate in a tax-free zone. They have investments that go back centuries. So this is a very well-heeled institution.

And the other thing is even if you have $3 billion in settlements in the United States that have gone out, that doesn't hardly even touch what they make in interest per year in the overall portfolio.

So, this really hasn't affected operations. It has affected long-term ability to raise money and I think that's what's most important, because what will happen is if grandma and grandpa in their last will and testament starts to make decisions that they don't want to leave their money to the Church, then long term, that will have some serious affect.

But the Roman Catholic Church operates their own insurance companies they're so large and so it's very difficult to see that even $3 billion or $4 billion will have any impact on them at all.

unbelievers, you are going to hell, you are not qualified to bring prophetic judgment so repent of your own sins and shut up. Judgment will come to those who do evil in the Church and judgment will come to the world wherever evil doers lurk. But evil cannot cast out satan so just shut your infidel mouth and repent of your sins you evil vermin.... Angry

I dont think anyone has ever thought of the Catholic church as being poor... what about all these other churches??? filthy rich.. pay no tax or rates basically do nothing for the community unless you go to them... funny old world.. and its all secret so is Scientology and Hillsong and Baptists..all very hush hush..they dont get any of my money accept in a roundabout way via no taxes..so I couldnt careless I am afraid.. and I dont see any point in picking on one church in particular...you only have to see the pomp that goes on with the pope and the Vatican to know it isnt short of a dollar... but if people go along with that and dont do anyone any harm so what?
