    The fact that you think this contradicts what I said really speaks to your reading ability.

    Profits can become wealth

    Is the same as what I said

    you end up accumulating wealth

    Now go be incorrectly pedantic somewhere else.

      The wealth a church has can be derived from gifts which aren’t revenue and aren’t profits. For example when my local bishop died he gave the diocese his collection of first edition theological texts. Those books have value and this are wealth but zero profit is gained by having them because they aren’t being sold.

      At no point was I “incorrectly pedantic” you seem to just not know the difference between wealth and profits which is odd considering the claims you have made about your academic background.

        You’re reading way too much into the order I phrased something in, all in an attempt to distract from you being wrong. You keep going further and further off track to distract people. It’s not working. Stop it.
