No accountability for the Catholic Church

[Neo-Scholastic]

The Church of Rome is also the single largest owner of real estate in the world. Make of that what you will. And certainly the greatest art collection ever. At the same time, any landlord can tell you that maintaining real estate assets is a very costly enterprise even if your income is tax exempt. Then there is the issue of personnel. While many priests etc. only receive a small stipend for personal use they nevertheless have all their living expenses paid including housing and medical. Railing against the Church is a popular pass-time and with over 2000 years of history there is plenty to criticize. As for me, I'm not particularly concerned about the financials of the Church.
