Actually, the Vatican has little money. Yes it has art treasures BEYOND VALUE but they are never gonna be sold. The Vatican itself gets over 1/2 its total revenue of something around 300 million a year from its GIFT SHOP. Its also been running a DEFICIT for some time now. I doubt there is an organization anywhere in the world, of such tremendous influence and size that operates so miserly. The Catholic Church is basically an amalgamation of many individual Dioceses. Would like to see the UN run so efficiently. jdn
