Catholic institutions are so decentralized in Canada that it’s hard to get a total picture of their wealth – not without considerable effort to sort through volumes of tax data. Here’s how The Globe did it

It’s an age-old question: How rich is the Catholic Church?

The Globe first considered diving into just the assets of Canada’s largest dioceses, such as those of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. But this would provide an incomplete picture of such a vast, sprawling organization. Relying on T3010 data has some drawbacks. For one, CRA did not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the filings.

Probably considerably less than mosques in Canada.

If this isn’t Catholic Church bashing on the level of hate then I don’t know what is? What does finance have to do with anything? Is the issue here money payouts fixing everything or is it a having complete and unbiased investigation into the real issues.

What we need is someone like Henry VIII, to take it all from them and give it to us.

Hey - Instead of showcasing your anti-Catholic bias and losing what little readership you have left, why don’t you do a story on St Teresa of Calcutta and how she fed the poorest of the poor. It will be much more useful to the world.

How desperate is for stories with heavy sensationalism. The Church is big because it is involved in many charitable endeavours including its primary function which is to lead people to God. Priests and bishops don’t drive Ferraris.

Thanks for this informative news story from TaviaGrant tom_cardoso Recalls issue from 20 years ago as Victoria, BC based bishop had to get his parishoners to pay off debts for race horses & US land:

Sensationalized nonsense…likely almost all assets are non revenue producing parish property…shame on you

“Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.” The self appointed “Gods” of the great reset have the most 💰 of any religion.

I know the Catholic Church in Canada does a lot of charitable work, can we see a report on that? How much money has Share Life given to charities over the past 50 years, charities that provide services regardless of religious background, eg Covenant House?

I’d like to see the globe investigate Islamic charities and mosques’ alleged funneling of funds for terrorism. But I know I won’t.

Like Scotiabank says: 'We're richer than you think!'

Lawmakers give Cuomo deadline in impeachment probeState lawmakers told Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday that their ongoing impeachment investigation is almost done and gave him a deadline of Aug. 13 to provide additional evidence. Well, that will be Friday the 13th!!!!! It’s the anniversary of my fathers death he died on a Friday 8/13. Not a big fan of Friday the 13th! The second line of this headline should be 'Canadians wondering why this standard wasn't applied to PM Justin Trudeau'.

Ottawa working to bring as many Afghans 'as possible' to Canada: TrudeauAfter the first flight of Afghan workers who helped the Canadian military during the war arrived on Canadian soil on Wednesday evening, the prime minister says the operation won't stop there. I'm Saifur Rahman Ahmadzai from Afghanistan I want to imigrat Canada 🇨🇦 Could you help me please? CTVAtlantic We need new Canadians. Smart move. The comments on this one are hilarious, people on the same side are attacking him for doing it at all, and others are attacking him for not doing it sooner or faster. Some are just racist haters. Basically, they all hate it because 'Trudeau says' is in the headline.
