Did you know the value of the Vatican is more than it would cost to END world hunger indefinitely.?
So why is the Vatican sitting on the billions that could end world hunger, teach people how to farm....?
Is that what god really wanted? For the Catholic church to be filthy rich, while people are starving?
Yes Sarah Silverman started this line of thought in my head. But I did a lot of reading about it. I don't take anyone's word at face value. But after reading about it, its true.

An atheist said it best yesterday when this question was asked *as it has been beaten to death on here*. Even if the Vatican was sold and all of the money went to poor nations, it STILL would not solve world hunger. He also made a point that there is more than enough food to stop world hunger but only those with resources get the food. Look at North Korea. They are deffinetly not poor but their government lets people die in the streets because they are an opressed dictatorship.
Besides the point, the Vatican is part of MANY charities including feeding the poor, giving safe houses to homeless, abused people. Not to mention their openings of many places for addicts to get help.
How much money have YOU given this week to help a homeless person? I find that people who complain about others not trying to stop world hunger or any crisis are pointing fingers and they themselves dont do anything.
Source(s): This question is beaten to death on here. What science orginazation gives to homeless? Or feed the hungry? Im not against science at all, and I actually believe in evolution. Im reffering this answer to those people who blame all the ills of the world on a group of people for their beliefs. Didnt the nazi's do this as well? - CCLv 71 decade ago
You may want to read the novel, "The Shoes of the Fisherman" (1963) novel by the Australian author Morris West, as well as see the 1968 film based on the novel.
The book reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for adult fiction on 30 June 1963, and became the #1 bestselling novel in the United States for that year, according to Publishers Weekly.
The ultimate plot is about selling all the church's resources to feed the hungry that are prepared for war.

Well it's like how scientist want to build "The Large Hadron Collider" which is 4.6 billion dollars. Now I am all for finding out and studying how our universe came to be. But, why don't we use that money for feeding hungry people and worry about science projects later. You rather build a big machine yet you have people in 3rd world countries dying everyday because of starvation.

Who might purchase it? To the element, no. this is quite narrow questioning. in case you get carry of rid of The Catholic Church, you are going to be eliminating the extensive form a million provider of help to Africa. Billions of greenbacks in step with 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, and that's a relentless circulate of money, no longer a one-time inflow. 2nd,this suggests that the only rationalization for worldwide starvation is loss of money. returned, narrow and ignorant questioning. 0.33, you would be eliminating each type of Catholic hospitals, shelters, missions, charity agencies etc that do a extensive quantity of solid for the Earth. to place it bluntly, Sara could desire to persist with comedy and not attempt to unravel the worldwide's issues.

Did you know that Barak Obama spent enough on getting elected president to end world hunger?
Obama is a narcissist idiot.
At least the Catholic Church uses most of its resources to actually feed and clothe people.

That is nonsense.
Much of the wealth is estimated values.
It's in the form of non liquidable assets like buildings and integral pieces of art.
To end world hunger requires a fundamental change in economic policy. No profit should be derived from food stocks. It's as simple as that and there would be no more starvation.

That is what we are doing.
Catholic Charities are operating all over the world and we are the largest charitable organization in the world.
The Catholic Church does not operate as a Profit, google it.
Your claim is a false one.

Since it's beginning, the Roman Catholic Church has relied on selling guilt and fear to get rich.
If the USA taxed the churches, for the property at least, we could fix the deficit that the moron Bush left for us.
