You are mistaken about the Catholic Church. There is nothing secret or super-secret about its teachings or ceremonies. All of its teachings are available through the Bible, the writings of the Saints, Doctors of the Church and the Popes (they are all online). All of the Catholic ceremonies and rituals are open and public knowledge. Confession alone maintains privacy as part of its structure. But penance often involves public acts of restitution, apology, acts of charity etc. The mass is celebrated as a body of worshipers and if you travel the world, you will experience the same structure and the same Biblical readings on a daily basis.

The only religions with secrecy are occult religions. Occult means secret or hidden.

With respect to wealth, the Vatican is open to all Catholics and people of the world. It is funded by annual donations of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics. Wealthy Catholics over history gave of their wealth to build beautiful churches and Cathedrals, as well as schools and hospitals. Similarly poor Catholics gave of their little wealth to build local churches, schools and hospitals.

Christ's teachings are the Catholic Church's teachings. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against her.
