    Are enough people going to church nowadays to warrant the big cash flows, as in the past? Went home to a family reunion last year and my aunt/uncles 8 children were raised catholic and went to church every Sunday. Discovered none of the kids, or their kids, go to church anymore.

      They’re losing membership, but they have been unimaginably wealthy since the Middle Ages, they’ll be fine. Not paying taxes helps, of course.

      (that’s just for the USA, they could be gaining membership elsewhere)
