Vatican could literally end the world hunger with their treasure hoard.

No they couldn’t. They’d end up making a bunch of warlords into billionaires while the regular people would go on starving. The only way to end world hunger is grassroots economic development and education (especially for women). You can’t do that by dumping billions of dollars into those countries. The problem is very tricky and the work is long and arduous.

Normal people. Germans/brits/dutchies and their colonies have a tendancy to be on the wrong side of history
