Not true. You're confusing the Vatican with individiual churches, and even some entire dioceses.

Many parish churches are walking a very fine line between solvency, and having to merge with neighboring parishes to stay afloat. The elementary school that I attended shut its doors for good this past June. Not enough money to keep it going.

Meanwhile the whole buraucracy in Vatican City lives like royalty.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
