For 1400 years, the Vatican was the largest economic entity in the world.
This statement is verifiably false. It is, in fact, laughably false.
(I think most of the money goes to the Vatican
As I've explained, almost none of it goes to the Vatican. It goes to " hospitals, hospices, soup kitchens, and shelters in virtually every city in the world" as I said above. Don't take my word for it. The information is easily available. Pick up a phone book and look up hospitals.
I'll wait.
Now. How many of their names contain the words "Saint" or "Mercy" ?
Is there a St. Vincent de Paul society in your city? I thought so.
Most parishes struggle financially, and still support the poor, homeless, sick, and a host of other charities, both as a parish and in their contributions to their diocese.
Did you even read my comment? You are repeating platitudes. If you're really interested, I will point you to some resources that can set you straight.
If you're not interested in finding out the truth, and you feel more comfortable mouthing anti-Catholic platitudes, no matter how false, that's fine.
But you're not going to convince me except with facts. So I suggest you go out and find some.
