Are the poor needy better taken care of because of all the wealth? Or is the Catholic church accumulating without giving enough back?

[georgemedia]

Enough power to call for another *CRUSADE*

[TheEpiCool]

The Vatican has a history dating back wayyy further than 1929

[almajrsn]

The video tittle mentioned “power” but you just covered the financials of the Vatican without talking about it’s power either politically or socially !

[justaguywithafedora]

Unites states: I am the most powerful country in the world


Vatican:*Hold My Holy Grail*

[DankMatter]

idk, probably unlimited power unless someone forgets to pay the lighting company

[splitfries]

I honestly believe the Catholic Church to be the most powerful church. Many hands in many hats

[JonKrueger]

An accurate Title would have read: "How Much MONEY Does The Vatican Have?"

Philosophically, I believe money is one of the lesser components of power. There are many other factors to power. Knowledge is power. Power is power.

[flowflips]

Lets not forget the secrets they keep lock up in them vaults and archives.

Did someone say

[alforliniteaching]

They have enough power to be able to hide their power from you.

I love your info videos.

Many people don't even realize that Vatican City State is independent from the Catholic Church in which the Pope is both the elected Sacerdotal Monarch (King) of Vatican City State and the head of the Catholic Church. What is left of Vatican City State is of the Papal States which made up central Italy in which the land was taken by the Kingdom of Italy.

But of course Nations don't actually own their Banks this is also true about Vatican City Bank.

So yes the Pope has tremendous influence not only as a world leader in which Presidents and Monarchs are his equals but also he is the head of the Catholic Church which has 1.3 billion Catholics and even though other Christians wont acknowledge him as the leader of the Church he speaks on behalf of all Christians around the world. So when he addresses diplomatically as a world leader he is also speaking on the behalf of Christians around the world.

This also places the Vatican as being neutral in foreign matters which is why the Vatican can't join the United Nations and other world governments but still the United Nations recognizes the Pope as an advisor to the United Nations.

Many people do not realise, that the Catholic Church is the Largest Charitable Organisation in the world. It operates more than 140, 000 schools, 10, 000 orphanages, 5, 000 hospitals, and some 16, 000 other health clinics. The nuns, brothers, and priests run these charities without expecting a salary due to the Vow of Poverty they take when joining an Order. Most of them rely mainly on contributions from Lay Catholics in order to maintain their facilities.

Caritas, the umbrella organisation for Catholic aid agencies, estimates that spending by its affiliates totals between £2 billion and £4 billion, making it one of the biggest aid agencies in the world.

Even small scale charities are done in most of the 200, 000 parishes in the world, such as kindergartens, soup kitchens, public outreach etc..

More than a president the Pope is actually an absolute king of the Vatican, since it detains the absolute power on the city state and all of its citizens

[terraticeras]

China:We have millions of army

Vatican:We have jesus

[sabaruengineering]

The Pope could still call a crusade if he wanted

but first he'd need to claim a valid casus belli (this means "reason for war" in Latin)

Then he needs to call the Cardinals to a vote in the vatican

[nothisispatrick]

You forgot to mention the demon slaying powers of the priests and the miracles of god that they can use to slay evil

[ronsagolili]

Matthew 23:9 "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."

[steverossini]

I’m pretty sure the pope is considered an elected absolute monarch rather than a “president.”

amazing how they can manage to stretch "we don't know, they sure have a lot of money though" into almost 8 minutes
