Vatican City – RELIGION
Vatican’s assets include massive investments by Rothschild in the UK, France and the U.S., billions of shares in oil and weapons companies like Shell and General Electric, Bethlehem Steel. The Vatican is the world’s largest owner of private property and its gold reserves are stored by the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank.

Yes they are... at one time, the New York Diocese owned 1/3 of the "for sale" real estate in Long Island. Have no idea if that situation still exists.

At one point I recall (maybe 50's to late 60's), that they were the richest Organization
in the world.

YIKES.

Then there should be no reason why any lower and middle income parents should no be able to send their children to a Catholic school if they want to, but can't because of cost

There should have been no reason that St John's school in Schenectady had to close

I had to laugh when I saw the reference to gold, there's that nun on TV who built some church building with a $4 million altar made of gold.


Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
