Not the Church? The World’s Biggest Landowner

The British royal family (about 24 members), headed by Charles III, theoretically owns 26.7M km2 (10.3M mi2) worldwide, more than three times the size of Brazil, writes BigThink.com (June 16). However, Charles has only symbolic ownership of the territories over which he rules. The next largest landowner is the Church (1.3B members). Estimates are that the Church owns about 716K km2 (277K mi2). That’s bigger than Texas, and twice the size of Germany.

The earth is the Lord's - the sun, moon, sky, sea - it all belongs to Him. I'm praying for hastening of the great day when all the inhabitants will be reminded of this truth.

@jac05,
so father so son. Btw. there is no and there cannot be church whose head of is not one and only true God-man Jesus Christ. That is the Catholic Church. All de rest are just sects and the sectarians.
Which are, btw. the enemies of the Catholic Church.
