The Roman Catholic church is a sect of Christianity. It is not tied to any one country, but the headquarters is a county of its own 'The Vatican States' a small area in the city of Rome in the country of Italy.

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is in every country, whether above ground or underground, there is even a priest and a mission in Antarctica. At one time, the Vatican (which is an absolute sovereignty of the Pope) controlled most of middle Italy, it has been reduced to the Vatican City, as noted above. The Vatican City is its own country, howbeit small, and the only country that is 100% Catholic, although Malta comes close.

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.
