If the Catholic Church has hundreds of millions of dollars, why do people still give money to it?

Donations, easiest way into heaven.

The Catholic Church does not have "hundreds of millions" of dollars!

Because the members of the Church care about the poor and disadvantaged.

The money the Church receives is used well for charities. The Church feeds, clothes, houses, educates and gives medical care to more people than any other entity on earth. There is no one to take their place and no one to help the impoverished of the world if the Church did not. the Church is so generous to the poor that it operates at a deficit. God bless!

i like the small ones the place every person is familiar with your call. i become in no way real loopy approximately mega-church homes. It kinda takes far off from the honestly ministry to verify some guy that confirmed up in a stretch limo status on the point with gold chains and a $3000 experience speaking approximately how desperate they are to pay the charges. "Please donate $2500 and we will carve your call in a brick for each physique to verify" quite if there are that a lot of people, you may wish a huge development to hold all of them. in fact, maximum of those church homes additionally are sponsoring distant places missions. besides as foodstuff pantries, clothing banks, community nutrition, specially situations homeless shelters. possibly you do no longer hear lots approximately them except you're in want of their centers.

ROTFLMAO...... you're too funny.

Your ignorance is showing. The Church does not have millions.

Catholic Charities is the largest charity that gives to homeless, food for families and clothing community centers. How much do you give to help people?

Because the Church gives a lot of the money away to help the poor, sick, and needy. If you have money in your savings account, why do you continue to accept paychecks?

GOD BLESS...

They have to pay for their Cathedrals, insurance on their treasures and castles, the salaries of clergy, gas for the pope-mobile, a pilot for their private jets.

These things are expensive. They pull in billions every year and give less than $20 million to charities.

They stretch their hand, with equal ease. The Roman Catholic church retains much of the Saturn worship in its ritual. Saturn also relates to Lucifer.’ In various occult dictionaries Saturn is associated with evil. Saturn was important to the religion of Mithra, and also the Druids.

Brainwashing.

Because that frees the catholics of their weekly guilt
