Question
" Hello,

I read an article recently about the Catholic Church's status as the largest charity in the world.

I know this is true, but I have misplaced the article and need it for a research paper I am writing about the Church. Do you know of any websites (maybe the Vatican site?) that show some statistics about this?

Thank you for your help and God bless you."

Expertise

I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
