Best Answer

The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ (read St. Paul). He is its head and all baptized Christians are its members. So, no, unless you define criminal enterprise as God incarnate on earth.

It is true that the Catholic Church, or its hierarchy, has committed many serious crimes over the centuries, but we can be charitable enough to conclude that these crimes are aberrations of the church rather than reflecting the true purpose of the church.

What is the Catholic Church's stand on profit-motive?

The Catechism of the Catholic Church in section 2424 teaches that the profit, in and of itself, is not a bad thing; however, when it becomes an object that enslaves a man and leads to the idolizing of money, then it is a problem.
