What is total worth-stocks, cash, real estate-of the Catholic church as compared to all the Protestant ones?

Question

I would like to compare the total worth of the Roman Catholic Church, e.g., stocks, bonds, cash, real estate, etc., against the total worth of all the Protestant demoninations.

Answer 1

1. nowon no & nowon sae.  Cherch is very sekretativ.

2. Most av the welth is in form av art treshuers with no "established market"  Sum cherches=1 big treshuer.

Wild ied ges: 1-5 trilyun $.

3. Bank hav "operating kapital" & bank akkounts like NE Biz.

How much is sekret.  Estimate: Vatikan hav 5 mil $ in bank.

Answer 2

I don't know. What  do think the Cisten Chapel would bring on the open market? Or Micheal Angelo's Pieta?  It would be my guess that the art works of the Catholic church alone are probably worth more than the market value of Exxon Mobil.

Answer 3

Actually,  the upstart Protestant church  was established by Luther, a multiple murderer.

Answer 4

The Catholic church is far bigger, older and unified than the upstart Protestant church which was established by Henry the  8th, a multiple murderer.

Answer 5

I don't know, ask your priest!

Really, I imagine only a handful of people know this information.  It is not as though these are publicly traded entities.  Be prepared to make a wild guess.

I heard once that the Catholic church was the largest land owner in the world.  That was just an urban legend, I think.

Finally, the "war of words" between the various Christian sects is as pointless as the two sides of the same coin arguing about which is best.

Answer 6

This is very hard to calculate.

How do you put a price on Saint Peter's Basilica?

The Vatican and each of the over 3,000 Catholic dioceses are financially run independently of each other. Each would have an annual statement.

The tens of thousands of independent and groups of Protestant churches would even be more difficult to add up.

With love in Christ.
