[ColdNoMore]

...I am stilled compelled to point out the obvious.

While I can't imagine anyone not being saddened, aghast or depressed (even all three) regarding the horrific fire to the Notre Dame cathedral, before you think about donating to its rebuilding...I offer this.

Although only an estimate (given its tax-free status), just 3 of the Catholic Churches around the world...are estimated to have $85BILLION in assets/cash.

And remember, this only represents 3 (Vatican/Australia/Germany)...of the largest of the church's worldwide entities.

There is no telling, what the total amount really is...if you add up all of the other church locations.


Given that, I would suggest your donation would be much better utilized by giving it to needed places like Puerto Rico/US flood victims/legitimate veteran organizations/or other needy recipients...that don't have that kind of wealth to back them up.
