Christ's church is rich because its been around for 2 millenia & people throughout history have donated land & money to grow the church. It's rich because we discovered AMERICA. Perhaps it was God's providence for the church to have resources. Who are you or I to say otherwise? Who are you or I to judge if someone decides to tith their wealth to the church?

While the clergy takes vows of poverty, the fund donated founded hospitals, Universities, orphanages, missions... did you know that the Catholic Church is one of the biggest philothrampic organizations in the world? Yes, the Catholic Church is widely considered the largest charitable organization in the world. This is due to its massive membership, extensive network of charitable initiatives (schools, hospitals, orphanages, etc.), and the significant resources it channels towards philanthropic activities. While individual charitable foundations may have larger endowments, the Catholic Church's decentralized structure and widespread impact make it the largest organization globally in terms of overall charitable endeavors.

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with wealth insofar as it is used. Would you prefer it be broke?

I dont get it... Saudi arabia is rich AF, Israel is rich AF, Mormans are Rich AF.... but somehow the 2,000 year old church having some beautiful building is wrong? Nah, I personally like the beautiful churches that inspire the soul.
