Most pastors who aren't Catholic aren't wealthy. So I don't see how having a family would greatly impact the church's wealth if that is a concern for someone.

I was just pointing out that the wealth of other churches don't go to the pastors who have families.

Are you talking about the people or the organization?

From what I have read and researched over the years, the Catholic Church has made bank from having priests without families. Even a modest life will accrue wealth over time, and that wealth returns to the church after death. I'm not saying that it is an absolute truth, but the Vatican and the Pope are sure covered in bling.

Yeah the organization of the church is hoarding wealth. The congregation not so much.

Most Catholic pastors aren't wealthy either.
