Im catholic and I agree with HappySquirrel point that the money from the Vatican would only feed the hungry for a couple of years and we would be back at square one. Not only that, but simply pouring money on things dont fix them.
But, what I really wanted to mention and nobody here has is thta the most fundamental objwctive of the Catholic Church is to preach the Word of God. I know most of you dont believe or care, but we do. Sure, the catholic faith says that you need faith joined with good works, but we need to feed the soul as much as the body (too corny? I know, lol)
So we need an institution, churches, priests, etc. Could we do a better job in charity work (even though we are one of the biggest if not the biggest charitable instituion in the world)?
I dont know. In my church, they help over a hundred families every month with food, they give free medicine and doctor and dentiist consults also for free. They have drives to get clothes, toys, etc.
And we are a relativetely small neighbourhood.
