    I mean, the Catholic Church is one of the richest entities in the world, but he’s not wrong.

      As is any person of fame.if they were poor you wouldn’t hear of them. And if they are sufficiently influential they can become wealthy at a whim from donations or selling out. Reach has value. And opinions of the wealthy do matter in the real world.

      Your wrong, too, as while the Vatican is wealthy so is america. And the gay fans wealth is dependent on subsidiaries with their own goals and ambitions. The pope is much less powerful than you are giving them credit from. Schisms happen for a reason.
