While it would be a noble thing for the Catholic Church to sell off all its works of art and to use the money to assist the needy, this would be quite impossible to do.The Catholic Church holds such a large proportion of the world's valuable tradeable artworks, that any sale even of a substantial fraction of them would have a devastating effect on prices, making further sales unachievable.
It could take at least a century for the Church to divest itself of its art collections in an organised manner, such as to achieve proper prices that would assist charity work.
