The pope makes trips around the World to give spiritual encouragement to the faithful Catholics around the world.
The Church paid the child abuse cases and apologized to the victims.
The Church has its own City to run.
We are the most succesful Church because of our organization skills and
religious unity around the world.
There are a number of charities funded by the Church;
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), "self-help"
"It's the old adage -- teaching someone to fish versus handing them a fish. Only, we want them to get salmon and red snapper and everything else.
It is better to teach someone how to fish rather than give them fish, because then they'll be self-sufficient and feed themselves whenever they feel hungry, etc...
According the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, CCHD is the largest private grantor to projects developed with the express purpose of lifting up the poor. Grants are given to organizations working to break the downward spiral of poverty by fostering economic growth and political awareness among the poor.
In the Diocese, such groups have campaigned for affordable housing, cultivated job opportunities and advancement, developed programs for inner-city children, and fought against the influence of gangs in city neighborhoods.
And there are many more things that the church does to help the world.
All Churches including Protestant Churches make a great net income not only the Catholic Church.
For example the Mormon Church has assets of $8 "billion", making it the wealthiest Protestant Church in America... all this fortune comes from the "deceived members", they end up giving to the Church their money, time, and life.
So why dont they do anything? whatever denomination they may be the Catholic Church isn't the only "Rich Church".Then again you might say its the richist I say its the biggest therefore logic steps in,you do the calculations.
