'Operation Bishop' investigators seize $1 million during raid
http://valleycentral.com/news/local/operation-bishop-investigators-seize-1-million-during-raid

Just recently, the Vatican was caught up in yet another financial scandal, when Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, who was an accountant at the bank that managed the Church's real estate investments, was arrested when he tried to smuggle €20 million ($26 million in 2013, when the plot was uncovered) into Italy, allegedly on behalf of the d'Amico shipping family. He told the authorities that he stood to gain €2.5 million on the deal. Investigators were first alerted to him when he reported paintings stolen from his apartment and police discovered a luxurious pad packed to the ceiling with expensive art and furnishings, which the Monsignor, who draws a small salary as a member of the clergy, claimed were gifts.

The Vatican Bank's 2014 report lists its total assets at €3.2 billion ($3.6 billion) as of December 31, including €2.6 billion in securities investments, more than 90% of which is in government bonds. As to the specifics of its exact holdings, it doesn't dive into much more detail. But, because of the distributed operations of the Church, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Churches in countries all over the world operate their own finances under the laws of those countries, some of which require disclosures.

The Roman Catholic archdiocese of Cologne in Germany has disclosed it is worth 3.35 billion euros ($3.82 billion), making it richer than the Vatican.

You are confusing institutions with individuals. Perhaps you should Google what "context" means. Asshat

In a perfect world, that might be the case but most Catholics don't get $3.00 from the Church and if the Church was doing everything it was supposed to do, it would have done something about the pedophile priests long ago.

It is kind of harder for me to figure out what the Catholic Church owns:

Another titbit to emerge is that it keeps gold reserves worth over $20m with the US Federal Reserve.

According to Georgetown University, the average weekly donation of an American Catholic to the church is $10. There are 85 million in North America, meaning each week the Catholic Church pulls in $850m through donations from individual Catholics.

Vatican City itself has a rich economy relative to its size. Though data is scarce, and the exact GDP figure is unknown, the CIA estimates Vatican City's 2011 revenue to be $308m. It only has a population of 800 people, meaning its nominal GDP per capita is $365,796 – making it the richest state on the planet by this measure.

Maybe you ought to question your own Church's finances?

So if the Vatican has a GDP of $365,796 per person. How much is it worth if the person lives to be 70??

$25,605,720 per person if they live to be 70 years old.
$21,560 million for Vatican City in 70 years.

I was in an unheated Catholic church for a funeral during the winter. I think they turned on some electric heaters just for the service but it was cold in there.
