Influence, donations, land and assets and a worldwide network of people.

pure coincidence

Church is a pyramid scheme that promises salvation instead of riches.

Maintaining wealth through religious tributaries, banking with florence. Every christian nation payed tribute to the vatican, especially papal states.

10% x hundreds of millions over the centuries... It adds up.

checked
it's due to incorporation of the Templar Knights. When the order was deposed by the French king for heresy all their spoils from conflict reverted to Vatican ownership, and that's how they got rich really fast. But now they had to use that gold to hook people into contracts an thus the European banking cartel is born.

Pillaging, stealing, thieving, taking things that weren't theirs

makes the most sense

Everyone here is wrong. Every crusade, soldiers would leave control of their estate to the Vatican. Upon return, they made claims with vouchers. Niggas died, and the church kept the shit. So you got everything that they pillaged plus the dead soldiers shit they never claimed

>, soldiers would leave control of their estate to the Vatican
not true

READ YOU FUCKING NIGGER

yes it is, through the concept of Roman incorporation. you really need to read up on it to understand how it works

Why do people perceive the Vatican as "so rich"? The buildings?
