Its turned into a business venture and needs the holdings and porperties to support itself like any other big business, Gill.
Im not Catholic and wont say Im anti Catholic but ive seen a few things go on that make me positive Ill never convert.
I cant imagine any religious movement that doesnt have some means of income to support itself and keep growing, Catholic is one of the biggest and oldest so it has a major role but many other smaller religions have properties and revenue...
I dont expect any of them will be giving much of it back though.

If money is the root of all evil, then why do churches want so much of it

I am not Catholic and I hold nothing against those who are.
I do not know first hand what they do with all of their money, but I do know that here in the states, they have an organization know as
"Catholic Charoties" which help so many people. They pay utility bills for people in emergency finance situations. The Catholics have many missions, World-wide with orphanages to feed and house children with no families and life threatening diseases. Medical Supplies, clothing, food and housing are expensive, not to mention staffing these places. The Nuns and Priests in Monestaries, they do not work to receive income either. The Church pays for all of this. Disaster relief work, many Volunteers help out and the Churchs monies pay the bill.
I believe the Catholic Funds help out all around the world in many great ways. We should be careful not to knock those who do good for others.
When Churches have many outreaches to the hurting and poor and needy, I have no problem with their having money, when you can see it being used for good purposes.

"Look, a gag rule on three nuns! Holy mackerel!" said Diaz, 74, in the parking lot outside the convent. "They do this to the ones who've been around for 57 years? No wonder they don't get more vocations. Would you want to join?"
By local standards the convent property promises no economic windfall. Oprah Winfrey paid $50 million for an estate in neighboring Montecito. But in the heavily Hispanic, relatively poor section of Santa Barbara that the sisters have served since 1952, comparable two-bedroom homes go for around $700,000.
That is roughly one-tenth of 1 percent of the $660 million the archdiocese agreed to pay accusers. Among them are former altar boys who described being molested by the late Rev. Matthew Kelly at Our Lady of Guadalupe, the church adjacent to the convent.
"These nuns are precious to us, but there are priests living in fabulous-looking little houses, by themselves," Diaz said. "You don't see them getting kicked out."
In fact the handsome residence of the Santa Barbara bishop -- once a convent -- remains safe behind seven palms on a corner lot. The building is the largest in a neighborhood where homes have been fetching $2 million.
But to local resident Sally Sanchez, the fate of the nuns pivots on neither money nor gender but rather on the question of equity.
"We had a lot of solid priests," Sanchez said. "But the sisters are getting the short end of the shaft."

Excellent Rebutal Trish!
I was not thinking in that direction at all.
They should move all of the Nuns to the Bishops house and turn it into a convent again. Put him into a smaller place.
Good thing I am not a Nun...
..... Keep my mouth shut????
Just NOT happening!!!!!!!
