Exactly ... and even though the Pope himself might have lowered his standards of living as the head of the church ... it's still a multinational organization that is basically a corporation that controls billions of dollars of wealth and real estate, not to mention the legions of church heads and professionals they employ and give millions to. All of it financed by common people everywhere who need that money more than the organization. All of it financed in order to maintain their control of thousands of real estate holdings and properties they control all over the world, not to mention having to finance a city state within one of the most expensive cities in the world in Rome, Italy.

Millions spent every year in order to just exist while they tell everyone that millions should be spent to feed the poor.

Personally, I have a lot of respect for the late pope .... but I have no respect for the organization he led.
