Is the Mormon Church really the richest church on the planet? In this video, I break down how the LDS Church built a $293 billion empire—through tithing, tax loopholes, unpaid labor, and secretive investing via Ensign Peak. We’ll look at how their centralized financial system gives them a massive advantage over decentralized churches like the Catholic Church. I also explain the SEC investigation, whistleblower revelations, and how the church legally siphons money out of countries like Canada. Full breakdown + extra stories are on Patreon!
