 Not true. You're confusing the Vatican with individiual churches, and even some entire dioceses.
Many parish churches are walking a very fine line between solvency, and having to merge with neighboring parishes to stay afloat. The elementary school that I attended shut its doors for good this past June. Not enough money to keep it going.
Meanwhile the whole buraucracy in Vatican City lives like royalty.
