Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church has its own "sovereign country" mostly because when the Roman Empire fell, the Holy Father, and his staff were the only ones around to repair the sewers in Rome. Currently Vatican City, the "sovereign country" is all of 110 acres with 800 inhabitants, entirely contained within the city of Rome, Italy.

Does the Roman Catholic Church own valuable land and property?

Catholic AnswerThere is no "Roman Catholic Church", unless you are speaking of the local Catholic Church in the city of Rome. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. .The Catholic Church does not own property as such, saving, of course, Vatican City, which actually is its own country, or city-state, if you will. In the United States, for instance, every thing in a diocese - parish Churches, property, schools, convents, everything is owned by the Bishop as corporate-sole. This is how the Catholic Church in the United States was set up due to the laws of that country. I am not familiar with other countries.
