Should Religions Hoard Their Cash?

People seem to be outraged that religions hoard their cash. While this is in no way a recent phenomenon, the outrage is. The bottom line is that some religious organisations are very, very rich  –  and have been for a very long time.  The Catholic Church, at the helm of the most popular organised religion on Earth, settled sexual assault cases for billions (with a  b ) of dollars.
