VATICAN CITY — Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said Sunday. "For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us," Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican's yearbook.

you do know many many bishops have existed in the vatican that could care less about money. Not everybody in the vatican has been a hypocrite....they would be called saints..

Interesting. Do you have any specific ones I could read about? And if they were not hypocrits, why didn't they change things when they were in control? While Catholics do help the less fortunate, they seem to be sort of stingy when you look at the wealth they have amassed. It's way above and beyond what they need for existance.
I would ask the same of you. Do you have anything specific that we can read? Do you have any information on Vatican wealth and yearly expenditures?

Well Eric,
Considering they are one the largest real estate owners in the entire world, that alone should tell you something.
Why don't you write them a letter and ask them to disclose all the information you are asking for?
Do you think you will get a reply?
