After reading some of this thread, and skimming the rest I have one though/question at this point.
How much of this vast wealth attributed to the church is in real estate, meaning land and building related? Temples, churches, fields, farms, storehouses, office buildings for employees, camps, historical sites, ranches, etc.?
I legit wonder, and my hunch is that a good portion of this number people are so up in arms about is tied to this.
I could be 100% wrong, but with doing zero research into it, that's my guess.
