No I didn't say or imply that. Try to stop misdirecting the argument with more questions that are not relevant.
If you have some valid response to my assertion the Mormon Church and the Roman Catholic Church are hardly non-profits as evidenced by huge amount of wealth/assets they seem to be retaining rather than using to help "the least of these" lets hear it.
There are many fine non-profits that haven't built a Vatican City or huge Temples or a billion-dollar mall and use the majority of their proceeds in their charitable work. I used to volunteer for one and we were quite proud we were an all volunteer organization with no paid staff. Well over 80% of the annual half-billion plus donations we collected went out to charitable deeds and in grants to other very deserving organizations.
I'm just pointing out I don't think the Mormon Church or the Roman Catholic Church are one of those organizations.
